On the contrary, Obduction is probably their best game. The puzzles are well thought-out, hints are signalled in clever ways, the environments are detailed and gorgeous, and the storyline is pretty interesting

They recently released Firmament which was successfully backed on Kickstarter. (I'm eyeing my boxed copy on my shelf right now.) I'm partway into it, so I can't yet say if it's better than Obduction, but it has been an excellent experience so far

I don't think it's fair to slam Cyan for being so proud of Myst and talking about it all the time. It was one of the most influential and successful video games. It got kids into technology, puzzles, and sci-fi. Myst is not merely remembered. It is still an ongoing franchise with an active fanbase. Why do they need "hits" when they are still a successful company?

Wife and I played Obduction last year and really enjoyed it. She may have known, but I had no idea it was a Cyan game. Or I'm getting old and forgetting that I did know.

Just heard about Firmament, I guess we have another game to add the the "Winter Doldrums" playlist.
