Obduction

Obduction is a first-person adventure game developed and published by Cyan, Inc., the creators of the Myst series of video games. It is a puzzle-solving game with a strong dependency on environmental storytelling. The player-character, meant to represent the player themselves, is abducted by a strange flying "seed" to a deserted settlement and must explore and puzzle-solve to discover what has become of the inhabitants and why they were abducted in the first place.

Obduction is currently on version 1.8.4.1 and it is available on Xbox. The Steam version also includes a number of Achievements. It runs on Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) and Mac OS X (10.12.4+)

Obduction was released on 24 August 2016 for PC, almost three years after a successful Kickstarter campaign raised over $1.3 million from over 22,000 people. Backers were granted early access to an unpolished Mac build at the same time as the PC release. An Oculus Rift version was published exclusively for Kickstarter backers on 28 October 2016, and Obduction became available in the Oculus Store three days later on the nineteenth anniversary of the release of Riven. Support for Oculus Touch and Vive was added on 22 March 2017. A finished Mac version was completed on 29 March 2017. Development continues on a PS4 version as well as support for PSVR.

Features

• The puzzles should range from easy to difficult, but even the toughest puzzles should be designed so that you know that all the pieces to solve it are there in front of you.
• The sound and music should be balanced; they should add emotion but not become distracting or annoying.
