OBDUCTION - New Adventure Game from the Creators of MYST Hits Kickstarter

I enjoy adventure games, especially masterworks like Myst. Playing it again brought back waves of nostalgia and I had so much fun that I played Riven, the direct sequel, immediately afterwards. Riven, while not as good as Myst, is still an amazing adventure game and should be played by anyone who even pretends to enjoy puzzles. It seems like the team that brought us these wonderful gaming experiences are at it again, this time via Kickstarter, with Obduction, an “all-new, real-time, first-person adventure”.

The Kickstarter page claims that Obduction will be built using the same fundamentals that made Myst and Riven so enjoyable. Deep storylines, beautiful environments, and engaging mysteries. Reading through the available info makes me very interested in this project, definitely enough to back it. Currently, Obduction has passed its $1.1 million goal, so the game should be created, but if you want Oculus Rift support or an additional world, you have a little less than two days to back it in hopes of reaching those stretch goals.

Yay, pretty concept art!

The last few adventure games I’ve put time into weren’t really that great, so I am looking forward to Obduction’s release, which is slated for “mid-to-late 2015” for both Windows and Mac. Cyan has made some amazing games in the past. Hopefully this will live up to their legacy.
