The game will pop up in your GOG game library, no string attached (perhaps, except making a GOG account itself).įrom Cyan, the indie studio that brought you Myst, comes a new sci-fi adventure.Īs you walk beside the lake on a cloudy night, a curious, organic artifact falls from the starry sky and inexplicably, without asking permission, transports you across the universe. Simply head to the link here, scroll down and click on the big ‘Get It Free’ button on the banner, and log in with your GOG account. The developer behind various classic adventure titles like Myst and the upcoming game Firmament, this puzzle/adventure game was released back in 2016. The game is free to download and keep permanently in your library. And in this case, I don’t mean its free to play until that date. A version is still set to launch at some point for SteamVR headsets.Cyan‘s Obduction, a flat screen / VR title, is available for download for free on GOG until June 1st. You’ll probably at very least want to play on an Nividia GTX 970 or AMD R9 290 for decent results.Ĭyan has also released its built-for-VR refresh of Myst (2020), which is available across Oculus Quest headsets. Upon release in 2016, Obduction essentially required top specs to run, although it has since been optimized to some degree and also performs much better on recent hardware. We gave it a solid in our review for its patented charm, challenging puzzles, and excellent visuals.

You’ll do plenty of thinking and backtracking across the game’s large sci-fi universe, which is mysteriously dotted with little pieces of Earth. Like the studio’s other beloved adventure games, Obduction is a slow and plodding affair that requires patience and problem solving skills. Make sure to add it to your wishlist so you don’t miss out. The game is set to be free on the Epic Games Store from July 15th – 22nd. Obduction is Cyan’s first VR-compatible puzzle adventure, and supports SteamVR headsets. Cyan, the prolific developers behind Myst (1993) and Riven (1997), is giving away Obduction (2016) on the Epic Games Store starting next week.
