#10599: Myst: Fullscreen flyby videos should loop and be clickable
-------------------+----------------------------
Reporter:  mgiuca  |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Engine: Mohawk
Keywords:          |       Game:  Myst
-------------------+----------------------------
 Version: 2.1.0git
 Games: Myst Masterpiece Edition (GOG version, June 2018)
 OS: Windows 10
 Type of bug: Departure from original game behaviour

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open any of the Age books in Myst island (e.g., spoiler warning, go to
 pillars and press Leaf, Beetle and Snake, then open door in boat beside
 dock).
 2. Click the small animated video on the book.
 3. Observe the full-screen flyby video.

 Expected behaviour:
 The full-screen flyby video loops forever. The mouse cursor is visible.
 Clicking anywhere on the screen ends the video and links to the Age.

 (This is the behaviour in the original Windows Myst Masterpiece edition.)

 Actual behaviour:
 The full-screen flyby video plays exactly once, then auto-links to the
 Age. The mouse cursor is hidden and clicking does not skip the video. User
 can press Esc (not documented) to skip the video.

 Problems with the new behaviour:
 - The video is intended to loop. Automatically linking after it plays once
 feels abrupt.
 - The Esc shortcut is undocumented, so players may not realise they can
 skip this video.
