About Obduction

✦ AI summary

You're transported across the universe to an alien world filled with Earth fragments from different times and places, where you must explore mysterious landscapes, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover secrets through careful observation. Your choices shape the story and determine whether you can find your way home in this visually stunning sci-fi adventure from the creators of Myst.

Now also playable on Oculus Rift!
Note: This is a visually lush and detailed game. Playing in VR takes full advantage of higher-end systems - please refer to its minimum and recommended specs.

From Cyan, the indie studio that brought you Myst, comes a new sci-fi adventure.

As you walk beside the lake on a cloudy night, a curious, organic artifact falls from the starry sky and inexplicably, without asking permission, transports you across the universe. You’ve been abducted from your cozy existence and added into an alien landscape with pieces of Earth from unexpected times and places.

The strange worlds of Obduction reveal their secrets only as you explore, discover, coax, and consider their clues. As you bask in the otherworldly beauty and explore the enigmatic landscapes, remember that the choices you make will have substantial consequences. This is your story now.

Make it home.

Cart got stuck in the tunnel behind the house where the Ambassador Seed was located. After checking forums and Google and troubleshooting options, I discovered that I basically have to e-mail my files to Cyan support to get them to edit and fix the softlock. Known game-breaking bug for years and never fixed - cool. I've also discovered there is a maze puzzle later which is positively awful to solve. I think I'll pass. I don't feel like pouring all my time into this mess or e-mailing support to get them to fix it so I uninstalled. I have better things to spend my time on.

just like myst and riven, but modern.

This game is an absolute masterpiece. It delivers 101% of the delight you might hope for if you imagine the Riven vibe was executed by the original creators in a science fiction format instead of a fantasy fiction format. Everything is absolutely on point: massive mysterious freely explorable and richly lived-in world, abstract emotive music stings that emerge at just the right times, and a sense of wonder as you study the world and try to make sense of the larger story you've been dropped into. The music from the trailer is really badly chosen. The vibe is not hard rock, it's Riven. I simply cannot imagine a plausible way recent reviews might only be Mixed. This game is a modern classic.

Amazing new content from the creators of Myst. Really enjoyed the playthrough - might just do it again!
Not recommended Jul 9, 2026
The first quarter is engaging, the second quarter is beautiful, the third quarter is tedious, and the fourth quarter is crushingly disappointing.
