“We’re so excited to once again immerse players in new worlds that offer that same feeling that Myst did - of being swept away into a story and environments that become their world,” said Rand Miller, CEO and Co-founder of Cyan. While Obduction isn’t built from the ground up exclusive for VR, that doesn’t mean the experience won’t translate over well.Īfter seeing games like Thunderbird in action first-hand and learning about new experiences such as Loading Human, The Gallery, and XING: The Land Beyond, it’s clear that slow-paced, narrative adventure games are alive and well on VR devices. Luckily, the creators of that legendary franchise agreed and Kickstarted a creation of their own known as Obduction.

Rewinding time to when I initially heard about the Oculus Rift all those years ago, the first thing that came to my mind was how great an old-school PC adventure game like Myst would be in VR. According to a press release, Obduction will be available for download from Steam, GOG.com, the Humble Store, the Mac App Store, and the Oculus Store on Jfor $29.99. Cyan Games have finally announced what fans have been eagerly waiting for: the price and release date for the Kickstarted spiritual successor to Myst and Riven, Obduction.
