Return of the graphic adventure: 'Myst' is getting a successor 20 years later

Two decades ago Myst was released on the PC, a game that was as strange as it was successful. Myst was followed by Riven and a slate of less successful sequels over the years, but despite its success, the genre never really took hold of the industry the way some expected. "We believed that Myst and Riven would be followed by massive publisher-funded exploration games that we were looking forward to playing," says Rand Miller, co-founder and CEO of developer Cyan, Inc. "But it just kind of fizzled out." On October 17th Cyan launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund Obduction, a title described as a "spiritual successor" to Myst.
