![]() i had always imagined cyan being tucked away somewhere in the rugged tree-filled vista of beautiful washington. i thought my maps app had made a mistake but there it was, telling me to turn off of a very busy and ugly "stroad" to arrive immediately at cyan. it was winter so things were rather bleak. I was passing through the area so i thought i would visit cyan worlds headquarters or at least just pass by and see their famous inside-out door that serves as the main entrance. you dont get that effect at all in fucking unreal engine. the idea is that you are unwrapping a little gemstone inside your computer. it should be pre-rendered because thats whats best for a world-based, environmental story-telling based game like this. and it has a sappy environmental message as its central moral and theme. ive seen obduction playthroughs and i didnt really like it. i wish they had just kept making original titles for all those years and maybe released a string of really good, well-thought out remasters to keep the coffers full. then they made obduction and got back to business and they are currently working on another new game called firmament (?). for decades (?) after riven they just made weird mobile games and remasters of their old games that werent any good, broken even. i would have preferred on-rails only really - the world is more romantic when your view of it is limited. they said it will be free-roam and presumably will have an on-rails option as well. After 30 years of making worlds, stepping into our creations with the Vive and Rift feels like a magical milestone – very exciting times for a company that is motivated by providing grand adventures that become people’s worlds.”Īre you excited about this new update? Let us know in the comments below.Recently cyan announced a full re-make of riven. “I’m so lucky to still be making worlds in this incredible time of rapidly advancing technology that enables us to create places with such deep immersion. Reactions ranged from praise to amazement, and it was genuinely touching to talk with generations of families that grew up on Myst and were now excited about Obduction.” “We were blown away by the number of fans who queued up at PAX East and SXSW to be among the first to go hands on with Obduction VR hand controls. Rand Miller, the co-creator of Myst and Riven and the co-founder of Cyan Studios, said of Obduction’s new gameplay options: Playing Obduction on the gamepad left something to be desired and today those desires are being fulfilled. However, the lack of hand controls was noticeable and disappointing especially in a game that frequently has you pulling levers, flicking switches, and pressing buttons. Obduction scored mostly positive reviews ( including an 8/10 on this site). ![]() On your journey you’ll encounter a variety of colorful (and sometimes creepy) characters, challenging puzzles and a story that keeps you guessing until the final minutes.Ĭyan’s historic gaming pedigree made Obduction a hotly anticipated game and it lived up to the hype. In Obduction you are transported to a mysterious new world where nothing is what it seems. Obduction is a VR puzzle and exploration game that carries the legacy of Myst and Riven into the modern era. Those that have already bought Obduction on Oculus Home will see Touch support added for free in a downloadable update, as well as Touch and Vive support for free on Steam if already purchased. In addition, the Rift version is also being updated to include Oculus Touch support - both pieces of news we reported would be coming soon as of last month.Īccording to Cyan, the new versions can be purchased for the original release price of $29.99 on Oculus Home, Steam and The Humble Store. The Myst successor originally debuted as a timed exclusive for the Oculus Rift and will now be available for the HTC Vive as well with motion controller support. Cyan Studios, creator of legendary PC games Myst and Riven, is officially releasing an update today ot bring its first ever virtual reality (VR) title, Obduction, to more platforms.
