Uru Complete Chronicles, released in 2004 and developed by Cyan, is a perfect game for puzzle solving amateurs, and is also the expansion pack of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. Cyan Worlds is dedicated to create games that involve a lot of exploration and spectacular journeys. I liked this game especially because of the freedom in every aspect. Home → Game Port → Myst URU – Comple Chronicles for Mac. On request we added Myst URU – Complete Chronicles to the Porting Kit! I tested the game and works perfectly now (native Windows) in my tests on my Intel Iris iMac. The GOG.com version of the game is required and tested. Enjoy another Myst title in the Porting Kit!

Now Catalina dropped 32-bit support, 3 of their games are not Compatible with Mac anymore: Myst IV Revelation, Myst V – End of ages and URU Complete Chronicles. I managed to make 2 of them working in Catalina: Myst IV Revelation and URU Complete Chronicles. Only Myst V – End of ages, somehow refuses to work with Mac driver at the moment. Complete Chronicles The critically acclaimed adventure of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst returns with this special collection that contains more Uru than ever before. Already the deepest Myst adventure to date, Uru is significantly expanded with the addition of To D’ni and The Path of the Shell, expansion packs that will take Uru beyond your imagination.
