My brother and I created the original Myst game in 1993. For any readers unaware of your game, could you please introduce yourselves?
Henry Stockdale, UploadVR: Firstly, thank you for joining me here, I’m a big fan of the original Myst. As such, we reached out for an interview with Cyan Worlds CEO, Rand Miller, who was kind enough to tell us more about this exciting new evolution of the classic IP. It comes after news that their other VR project, Firmament, has been delayed until 2022, and recent years have seen the studio pushing virtual reality with Obduction, alongside their own publishing venture. In the meantime though, we’re getting a full-blown remake of Myst specifically for VRĬonfirmed this will be “built completely from the ground up for Oculus Quest”, this new edition also promises “modern art, sound, interactions, and optional puzzle randomization for those who are up for a greater challenge”. Since then Cyan has published VR games like ZED and continues working on their next new project, Firmament. Remakes also followed that allowed for free roaming with further interactivity as well as a slew of follow-ups from other studios taking heavy inspiration.Ĭyan Worlds’ first VR game, Obduction, is a sort of spiritual successor to Myst and applies many of the principles and ideas it popularized in the 90s to a modern VR game setting.
Utilizing point-and-click mechanics, it became an incredible success with 6 million copies sold, leading to sequels, adaptations, and numerous ports, most recently on Nintendo Switch back in May.
The game sees you travel to the island of Myst via a special book. A PC version with optional VR support is slated for 2021.įirst released back in 1993, Cyan Worlds’ classic adventure game originally launched for Mac OS and spearheaded the boom of the CD-ROM. And now it’s coming to VR for the first time via the Oculus Quest on December 10th with Myst VR. Myst is often regarded as one of the most important and influential PC games of all-time for good reason.
