Entering today’s world, Obduction - by Cyan, the studio behind Myst itself - faces an uphill climb. Nowadays though, despite the clones, and despite Myst itself having seen countless remasterings and remakes, the point-and-click puzzler is a dying genre in popular gaming culture, replaced by more action- or narrative-driven experiences. Its quietly brain-twisting puzzles and self-directed exploration inspired a load of clones back in the day, but nothing ever reached the same level of fame and infamy. The best-selling PC game until The Sims came along, Myst created a genre unto itself.
Watch the pitch video below and head over to the Kickstarer page for more details.Myst was a long time ago now. The Obduction project will take what Cyan knows about creating deeply immersive worlds and apply it to an entirely new game with fantastic scenery, incredible architecture, compelling story, and exceptional challenges.Cyan Worlds has selected Unreal Engine 4 to bring its new world to life, and set an initial funding goal of US$1.1M with a hint of stretch goals that might include non-English language localisation and Oculus Rift VR support. The Myst name is widely recognized as uniquely defining a new kind of gaming - amazingly immersive worlds where the point is to understand your environment rather than test your reflexes. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of Myst, one of the best-selling computer games in history. Obduction resurrects that incredible feeling of suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a new world to explore, discover, solve, and become part of. Obduction is an all-new, real-time, first-person adventure that harkens back to the spirit of Cyan’s earlier games Myst and Riven. Cyan Worlds, the independent studio founded by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, most prominently known as the co-creators of the acclaimed adventure games Myst and Riven has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in the hopes of creating a new title called Obduction.
