It’s been more than 20 years since Robyn Miller and his brother, Rand, created Myst. Now, they’re back with Obduction, an adventure game full of puzzles and exploration. Robyn didn’t do any coding or design this time around, but he did write the music.

Obduction is a spiritual successor to that Myst universe, meaning it’s similar, but there’s no continuity with lore or characters. Robyn reflected that in his music well. Hope you enjoy our chat! And be sure to check out his art.
