About Obduction®

Obduction® poster

Obduction comes from Cyan, the indie studio behind Myst, and delivers a new sci-fi adventure that begins on a cloudy night beside a lake, when a curious organic artifact falls from the starry sky and, without asking permission, transports you across the universe. From that moment you are dropped into strange worlds that give up their secrets only as you explore.

Those worlds reveal themselves gradually as you discover, coax, and consider their clues, basking in an otherworldly beauty while unraveling enigmatic landscapes. The pacing leans on curiosity and careful observation rather than urgency, in keeping with the puzzle-driven adventure tradition Cyan helped define, and much of the pleasure comes from slowly understanding how each place fits together.

As you probe these environments, the game reminds you that the choices you make will carry substantial consequences, turning exploration into something more than sightseeing. This is your story now, shaped by how you engage with the mysteries around you. As an indie adventure and puzzle experience, Obduction gives PC players a contemplative, atmospheric journey built for those who enjoy taking their time to think their way forward.
