For Myst and Riven fans
12 years ago
General
This has nothing to do with furriness but it's something I hold dear:
I have played countless hours of Myst and Riven. Even to this day, I still replay Riven just for the atmosphere. I think their creators' perfect balance between puzzle, story and exploration has often been imitated but never quite grasped by other video game companies. The puzzles are so well integrated to the environment that they don't feel like puzzle. I'm just fumbling around trying to understand the world around me, like I would if I actually was in that world.
The current video game industry wouldn't give a dime for this kind of game anymore. They'd rather finance "Generic Shooter #7563" than risk anything on something new.
Which is why Cyan is turning to Kickstarter for their new game: Obduction. It is not a sequel to Myst, it's a brand new story. But it will be in the same exploration style that I like so much.
If you too had a blast getting lost in Riven and Myst and would like a new immersive world to get lost in, please visit their Kickstarter page and spare a few bucks. Also, share with your Myst and Riven fans!

Please note I'm not in any way associated with them. I just think they are the best at this kind of game and I totally trust them to deliver.
