SPOKANE, WA (PRWEB) AUGUST 24, 2016

Cyan, Inc., the indie studio best known for the award-winning titles Myst and Riven, today launched their highly-anticipated Kickstarter-backed sci-fi adventure puzzler, Obduction. The game is available for PC download on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store for $29.99, and will be coming soon to Rift and Mac.

Obduction transports players from the comforts of home on a journey through eerie alien landscapes with odd remnants of strangely familiar pieces of Earth. It features expansive worlds to explore, a deep story to embrace, and cerebral challenges to unravel. Enjoy the just released Obduction launch trailer which teases what lies ahead.

"Obduction provides an evocative and mysterious experience, crafted to induce the same feeling that Myst did - of being dropped into an entirely otherworldly situation, uncovering what happened, and determining what happens next. We really hope that probing these new worlds will give players a rich, satisfying experience," said Rand Miller, co-founder of Cyan. "We are so grateful to our 23,000 backers who made Obduction a reality."

Obduction will be featured in the PAX Indie MEGABOOTH at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Friday, September 2 through Monday, September 5. Fans attending the show are invited to come by to meet the Cyan dev team and play the game on PC and Rift.

About Obduction:

Obduction is a sci-fi adventure puzzler from Cyan, Inc., the legendary creators of the award-winning Myst and Riven titles. The game was Kickstarter-backed by 23,000 devoted fans and lovingly built by a tiny team of developers on Unreal Engine 4. Available for PC on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store for $29.99, and coming soon to Rift and Mac.

Happy Gaming!

Apparently there are some bugs that need fixing, like the load screen bug described in the Steam forum ***here***. Someone in that thread discovered a workaround that has to do with changing the language back and forth.

However it doesn't always work, may take more than one try, and you may have to do it every time you restart the game.

The GOG version also has the bug, reported at GOG ***here***.

Expect patches. It seems to be a very common bug.

I have just downloaded and launched my version of Obduction, and I'm disappointed. I'm running it in 640x480 mode with all the graphic settings down to 'medium', yet I cannot get it to run smoothly. Whenever I move or turn it jerks and wobbles. I am running it on a reasonably powerful computer which has run recent games like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (with loads of effects) in much higher resolution. When I picked up the lantern near the start, the lantern kept moving in and out and the handle detatching and hovering above the lantern!

I have tried various settings without much success, and playing the game has made me feel a touch queasy with all the constant on-screen motion. If anyone finds a solution, please let me know before I'm sea sick! I was really looking forward to this game, which I supported on Kickstarter, and I'm very upset.

Please post in Glitches for computer issues.

I'm starting to think we need to just make a thread in the Glitches forum for this game with the required system specs posted! If your computer doesn't meet the specs, it's not going to play the game.

That would be great Drac! I'd be perfectly happy to link to that thread in my main post so they can go directly there.

Very good to know

I backed Obduction on Kickstarter, and even though I was emailed a Humble link to claim the game, the webpage it took me to only offered a choice of Steam or GOG, not DRM-free at Humble. That was disappointing because I wanted the game linked to my Humble account and not GOG or Steam.

Humble only offers a Steam version for sale for non-backers.

Eventually I'm due to get a disc, so I may wait for that.

I backed the game as well, Jenny, and it just said DRM-Free. It never stated where. I would think most will be thrilled it was a GoG. I for one, am happy it's a Steam.

I backed obduction n kickstarter and got a free download through humble bundle they sent me a link to click on something like http://wwwgog.com /redeem and this big long bunch of numbers and letters I have no idea how this works think I will wait for my boxed copy to arrive. hope that they have a few of the bugs worked out by then.

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 08/27/16 01:54 PM

I don't use GoG. I use Steam. I could tell you how to use your code there, but we will have to wait for a GoG user to explain the other.

Here's the info about how to redeem GOG keys.

If you want the game from GOG, use the GOG redeem link on that page, including the numbers. The numbers are your unique redeeming numbers. The link will take to you a GOG page where you can log into GOG and have the game added to your GOG Library (assuming you have one).

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 08/27/16 03:28 PM

To redeem your code, just do what they say and go here...

https://www.gog.com/redeem

Then enter the code you were sent, tell them you are not a robot and click on continue... If you can copy and paste the code, that would work the best as it reduces the chances of entering it incorrectly.

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 08/28/16 07:13 PM

I choose to get it from GoG and used the link including the numbers and the link never took me to a GoG PAGE where I could login to my GOG and have it added to my libary and to redeem my code there doesn't seem to be one.and so I cant enter one. I have read their faq on how to redeem a GOG key they say to copy it to a clip board.since I know nothing about how how this works guess that I will wait. thanks for all the help.

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 08/28/16 07:48 PM

The code was part of the GOG link they gave you on the Humble page -- after the redeem part. So after you log into GOG, use the exact GOG link that was on the Humble page.

For example something like

https :// gog.com/redeem/AD852667821AB2E

with some alphanumeric string after the /redeem/ part
You should have your own unique alphanumeric code.

"Clipboard" is your computer's memory of the last thing you copied.

So, finally got my code after an email mix-up and started playing last night. Is anyone else working through the adventure? It's been awhile since I picked up an Adventure game, but I'm bound and determined to make it through without accessing the hint guide...maybe

The beginning gave me a big ol' smile; I can see why they are calling this the spiritual successor to Myst.

I'm going to load it tomorrow I think. I've been trying to get caught up on other things first. Glad you are liking it!

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 09/10/16 10:47 PM

I decided to wait until the GOG version was patched.
Last time I checked, there was not patch.

The save system is weird.

Re: Obduction Launch Trailer and Screens - 09/11/16 02:51 AM

I would call that a workaround rather than a "system"

As an FYI, the saved games are stored in the AppData folder, which is hidden by default (at least in Win7.) You need to configure your C-Drive to show hidden folders in order to access those and any screen grabs that you take while playing. Here's the path: C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Local\Obduction\Saved

I'm not sure what the process is for Win8 or 10, but for Win7 it's as follows:

-Open the C: drive.
-Click Organize on the menu bar.
-Select Folder and Search options.
-Select the View tab.
-Under Files and Folders > Hidden files and folders, select the option to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
-Click OK.
