obduction

Obduction was a spiritual successor to Myst that optionally supported virtual reality.

Myst spiritual sequel Obduction offers a VR option, and Cyan CEO Rand Miller says that a small contingent of “avid VR players” play close to 75 percent of the game — which can take 20 to 30 hours to beat — in a headset.

“We always wanted to build places and worlds, not just games, and V.R. just does that — it makes you feel like you’re in another place without even trying,” said Rand Miller, a co-designer of Myst and the designer of Obduction.

The creators behind the blockbuster 1993 computer game Myst recently came out with a spiritual successor called Obduction, which was released for both virtual reality devices and standard computers.

When the campaign launched, Cyan co-founder Rand Miller dropped by Reddit, and somebody asked him a tantalizing question: would Obduction support a young, but increasingly exciting, new platform called the Oculus Rift?
