By Stephany Nunneley

Obduction is an adventure game on Kickstarter from Cyan Worlds, the creators of Myst and Riven, which is in need of $1.1 million to develop the title.

Set for release on Windows and Mac, with a targeted release of mid-to-late 2015, Obduction is an all-new, real-time, first-person adventure that “harkens back to the spirit of Cyan’s earlier games Myst and Riven.”

Here’s the official blurb: “Obduction resurrects that incredible feeling of suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a new world to explore, discover, solve, and become part of.”

The pitch video shows off Unreal Engine 4 artwork as well as some details from Cyan’s Rand Miller.

With 20 days left, 1,476 backers have already pledged $86,455. Hit up the link for more information.
