Obduction review: The makers of Myst get back in the game<article>
<section class="page">
<p>In late 2013, 20 years after releasing its landmark exploration game
Myst, semi-dormant developer Cyan returned with a Kickstarter campaign for a new game. Over three years later,
Obduction ($25; available in the
App Store) has finally made it to the Mac in finished form. Despite real shortcomings, this spiritual (but not literal) sequel to the
Myst series recaptures the incredible sense of place that made those games so compelling.</p><p>Like
Myst,
