This is part of the allure of Obduction - no matter how frustrating or difficult the puzzles may be, it made the reward of discovery that much sweeter. I delighted in finding notebooks and interactions, but I definitely craved more throughout my time with it. I only wish that there were more story-related touch points throughout my explorations. Obduction’s premise is captivating, providing layers that build upon itself to formulate the overarching narrative. Rather, Obduction was built for you to work at and slowly uncover the mystery by reading between the lines of what’s given to you in documents, interactions, diaries, and other clues. None of this is explicitly given through cinematics or traditional in-game storytelling, so don’t expect the game to feed it to you. These mechanics mean that backtracking is near constant, but Obduction contains shortcuts to ease the pain.Īs you explore and learn more about the surroundings, a picture starts to form about how these worlds relate to each other, along with the history behind Hunrath and the strange occurrences that lead to where you are.
The teleportation swap mechanics also become a puzzle in themselves, adding clever layers on top of the existing puzzles and making memorization a critical part of the game. Eventually, you find devices that teleport you to other worlds which each have their own set of puzzles. These are scenes you'll recognize, but at the highest resolution possible, and never before released.Puzzle mechanics range from context clues that unlock certain areas (like making connections through physical clues to find security codes) to more physical puzzles (like moving around a laser beam on a track to destroy objects). And that’s not all! You’ll also receive 5 exclusive hi-res digital images (one image from each Age of Myst) rendered from the original Myst models. The textures can be used in your own models, and you can open the 3D objects and see how they were created. This special Myst version of Design 3D also includes some of the surface textures and digital 3D objects from the original Myst models.
Your name will also be in the "Additional Design" section of the credits. You’ll use Design 3D CX to design, model, and texture an (appropriate) item for Obduction! Your object will have a chance to be seen by anyone playing Obduction. As a special offer, our friends at Strata have generously offered to support the Obduction Kickstarter campaign by providing a special Myst version of their Strata Design 3D CX software ($600 value) to backers at this special reward level or above. The images in the original Myst were created using Strata 3D Software.
