When the creators of Myst and Riven talk about a new game along the same lines as the mentioned before, one pays attention. Myst and Riven are among the most immersive, intelligent and well written adventure games ever crafted so when the studio announces that they are working on a new title, and that it is crowdfunded, as a news vehicle and a fan we try to help out in whatever small capacity we can.
The
new title is call Obduction, here is the kickstarter page and an introduction from
Cyan, Inc.’s Rand Miller.
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 the
spirit 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.
Story
Obduction’s
experience supplies what every good storyteller does: a very personal window
into a much larger world. Obduction begins with… well… an abduction - your
abduction. On a crystal clear, moon-lit night, a curious, organic artifact
drops from the sky and inexplicably whisks you away across the universes to
who-knows-where (or when, or why).
And,
as anyone who ever played Myst or Riven knows, exploring everything around you
allows you to read between the lines and to begin to answer your questions. Why
is there an old, abandoned farmhouse – complete with white picket fence – in
the middle of an alien landscape? You’ll find out. From this point on the story
becomes your story.
