Most games in the series are traditional ''Myst''-style point-and-click, whereas the original 1991 version is a picture-enhanced text-based scenario, and ''Society of the Serpent Moon'' employs a 3-D avatar protagonist. In a throwback to the early days of PC gaming, ''Last Half of Darkness'' [=DVD=]-packs incorporate printed supplements that are necessary to decode in-game clues.
