'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,' reads the page.

The title is being developed with a 'flexible scope,' meaning the developers will add more content and allow the game to grow in scale if the appropriate funding levels are achieved. Obduction - which the page notes means 'the act of drawing or laying over' - will be a first-person adventure focused on player immersion that 'harkens back' to the spirit of Cyan's Myst and Riven and builds on what the creators learned during development.Ĭyan is asking for $1,100,000 to develop Obduction and is currently planning to publish the title to Windows PC and Mac, with a mid-to-late 2015 launch window. Cyan, developer of the Myst and Riven adventure games, launched a Kickstarter campaign this morning for Obduction, a spiritual successor to Myst.
