Quite a remarkable tool and what an excellent choice of game to include, if we do say so ourselves!

Whichever one calls to you! Just start investigating (and taking notes) and see where it leads. Assuming you've read Atrus's note to Catherine and at least followed that thread?

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.
