Obduction
Obduction is a first-person puzzle adventure game developed by Cyan Worlds, the studio behind the iconic Myst and Riven series. Players explore a mysterious alien world filled with intricate environmental puzzles, strange machinery, and narrative clues scattered throughout beautifully crafted 3D environments. The game emphasizes exploration, observation and lateral thinking — typical hallmarks of Cyan's design philosophy — and has no combat or time pressure. It was released in 2016 and has been available on macOS, though its current availability through major storefronts has been limited or discontinued.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionObduction is no longer being actively sold through the MacGameStore and appears to have been delisted from mainstream Mac game distribution channels. There is no confirmed native Apple Silicon build of this game, and the search results provide no indication that Cyan Worlds has plans to ship one. The Intel build still launches under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working on that release. If you own a copy, you may still be able to play it for now by ensuring you stay on macOS 27 or earlier. If you purchased Obduction previously, contact Cyan Worlds directly to ask about your licence status and whether a native Apple Silicon build is under consideration. For similar puzzle-adventure experiences that run natively on Apple Silicon, look into games like The Witness, Outer Wilds, Portal 2, or other modern puzzle-adventure titles available through Steam or the Mac App Store that explicitly list Apple Silicon compatibility.
