2014 ART: PEOPLE: Remember Myst? Time Vault by Paislee Myrtle.

Remember Myst? 
Time Vault by Paislee Myrtle.  

'Devokan storybuilders take inspiration from the library in the original Myst Island, the shock players felt when opening book after book, and seeing the destruction wrought by fire. What worlds and wonders were lost as a result? Is it possible to rediscover them? Our aim is to build immersive environments that all will enjoy exploring, with surprises that delight and intrigue along the way. Everyone is welcome.'

How to handle a Hypergrid address 

From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the navigation bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in a minutes.  Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out).  And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day.
