✨📚 We're thrilled to announce that after being unavailable for 7 years, the digital omnibus collection of the first three Myst novels is once again available as The Myst Trilogy!

Buy them for the FIRST TIME EVER on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books 👇

A promotional image for The Myst Trilogy eBook. The text reads “Available Now – The Myst Trilogy – A digital omnibus collecting the first three Myst novels.” The background is textured leather with metal rivets, reminiscent of an antique book cover. A Kindle e-reader displays a stylized sketch of a machine and a short passage of text beneath it.

"To think that I have accomplished in a matter of years – under extremely adverse conditions – what it took my D’ni ancestors centuries to achieve!"

Play Riven now, remade from the ground up ⤵️

https://cyan.com/games/riven/

A view looking straight up at the ornate ceiling of a temple-like room in the new Riven game. Five massive stone columns encircle a dark, pentagonal skylight filled with glowing star-like lights and a central gold sphere. Each column is topped with a golden beetle sculpture, reinforcing the room’s symmetrical design. The ceiling is bathed in warm golden light, with D’ni script carved into the surrounding stone walls and decorative gold inlays adding to the room’s majestic, mysterious atmosphere.

might consider playing @cyan.com's myst masterpiece edition, and then the vr version next. i want to see how it plays. if there's any tips anyone can give about this game, let me know. spoilers are welcome, cause i have played this before in the late 90s early 2000s, but never completed the game.

Another peek behind the curtain into the Cyan HQ Vault! 🗝️

Do you recognize these objects? 👀

A close-up of two vintage-style prop books used in a Cyan game, resting on a glass surface. The larger book in the foreground has a textured maroon cover with gold embellishments on the corners and a round emblem at the center featuring a D'ni character. Faint embossed text appears above and below the emblem, possibly in multiple scripts. A smaller red book with similar gold corner detailing lies partially beneath it. The background includes a dark cloth and various small, mysterious metallic objects, contributing to an antique and immersive worldbuilding aesthetic.

🌌 Neyyah is here!

Our friends at @NeyyahGame and @micro_prose have launched their atmospheric new puzzle adventure, now available to explore on Steam ⤵️

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1289720/Neyyah/

A dramatic stone walkway leads across the water to a circular building crowned with fiery orange foliage and flanked by towering, dragon-like sculptures and curling vine-like structures.

A man in a light sweater and scarf appears as a glowing blue hologram, speaking with a serious expression inside a tall cylindrical chamber lined with pipes and machinery.

Rusted pipes and large cylindrical structures rise along the edge of a dockside area. Metal grates form stepping platforms across the clear blue water.

I agree. Everyone should play the Riven remake. It's the closest thing so far of re-capturing the look of mid to late 90s CG, but in real time. Just a stunning looking and feeling game all around. Amazing sound work, too.

❄️ It might be frosty outside in the Age of Rime but there are a few spots around the island where you can warm up, if you know where to look!

What is this and where can you find it in Myst's newest Age? Check back tomorrow for the answer.

Cover art for the Wildgate: Original Game Soundtrack by Maclaine Diemer. The artwork features a vibrant, action-packed space scene with several futuristic ships and armored characters flying through a glowing purple and orange galaxy. A large portal radiates energy near the center, and ships fire colorful laser blasts as they speed through asteroid fields. The title "WILDGATE" is displayed in bold metallic letters at the top, with a stylized golden ring and glowing gems encircling part of the text. The subtitle reads “Original Game Soundtrack,” and “Music by Maclaine Diemer” appears at the bottom.
