Yeh,yeh, Obduction is coming… don’t know when at this pace. Just received an email telling that they will postpone (ONCE AGAIN) the release date. Now it is expecting to be out on August 22th. That’s the second time they do that. First, it was to be June 26th, then July 27th and now August 22th… don’t know if I’ll ever see this game. These delays are telling me they do not have a finished product yet.

Oh yeah, amazing observation.

No big deal for me, it looks great and I don’t have any reason to doubt them.

No need to be sarcastic. It was an accurate observation.

Yes, quite right.
Guess I’m just tired of all the vitriol directed towards Kickstarter projects.
Many games are released late, or never. The only thing different with Kickstarter is you get to know about it.

The other thing different with Kickstarter is that you pay for the game in advance.  Tongue

But I really don’t mind that Obduction will be late. Going to play KRZ4 instead.

Enviroments looks so isolated i doubt that straight myst formulae no longer works
for making an exciting adventure.

Mind is great Myst clone, great worlds and graphics.
Try that.
Check pics/vids.

For me Myst type isolated AGs worked because of Art.
Obduction Art design is bland, i remember better Riven,Uru worlds.

Yesterday the Steam store still said Obduction would be released today. Now it says it will be coming soon. No Kickstarter update, no news, nothing. Sniff…

There is this tweet:

No word about the game keys for backers but unfortunately that is usual now

Positive reviews showing up. Nice:

https://www.destructoid.com/review-obduction-382029.phtml

A hallmark of excellence. It may have some flaws, but they are negligible to what is otherwise a supreme title.


http://www.pcworld.com/article/3111804/software/obduction-review-the-captivating-start-of-the-post-myst-age.html

Myst’s spiritual successor Obduction drags its heritage into the modern age with aplomb, though the puzzles aren’t quite as fiendishly hard as Riven’s.

http://attackofthefanboy.com/reviews/obduction-review/

Obduction is a true successor to Myst and its legacy. The game can be painfully unforgiving at times, and its puzzles might feel both confusing and unintuitive, but there is a logic at its heart. Once you figure it out the feeling of accomplishment and success is unrivaled. Those who’ve waited years for more games like Myst need look no further.
