Obduction - New game from the creators of Myst and Riven.

[MetalSoup]

An all-new, immersive adventure game from the award-winning creators of Myst and Riven.

Ob`duc´tion, n.1. The act of drawing or laying over, as a covering.
Obduction is an all-new, real-time, first-person adventure that harkens back to thespirit of Cyan’s earlier games Myst and Riven. Obduction resurrects that incredible feeling of suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a new world to explore, discover, solve, and become part of.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of Myst, one of the best-selling computer games in history. The Myst name is widely recognized as uniquely defining a new kind of gaming - amazingly immersive worlds where the point is to understandyour environment rather than test your reflexes. 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.

Obduction will be built with the same framework that made Cyan's earlier games such a wonderful experience: stunning landscapes, deep storyline, engaging characters, dramatic soundscapes, and challenging yet intuitive puzzles. Obduction is an entirely new property, delivered using one of the most powerful game development technologiesavailable today. Obduction is an adventure game for the new millennium that stays true to the concepts that made the genre great.

At the base funding level, Obduction will be developed for both Windows and MacOS, with a targeted release of mid-to-late 2015.
The game is being designed with a flexible scope in mind, so that as the budget grows, the game grows. More places; more puzzles; more mystery; more complexity; more adventure!

With the generalities out of the way, it's time to dig a bit deeper into specifics. If you know anything about Cyan's worlds, you know that you don't want to know too much ahead of time. We'll try our best to whet your appetite, without giving away too many spoilers.

I'm intrigued!

Completely and utterly loved the Uru, Myst, Riven series. So this should be no different.

Looks awesome. I only ever played and finished myst. I loved the setting of myst. Made me feel utterly alone and uneasy.

I loved Myst, Riven and Myst 3.

Myst 4 was okay, but I never actually bothered finishing it. It was certainly the best looking in my opinion, but I think Riven was the most enjoyable.

Uru and Myst 5 just looked like garbage to me, I never bothered with them.

I thought it ended with myst 3. I played myst for such a long time before I finally finished it.
