Wonderful experience - the game has an interesting story and good mechanics. The puzzles are reasonably challenging, though some of them are a bit sneaky. Read EVERYTHING - vital information is often contained in bits of paper you find lying around, in typical Myst fashion. I bought this after completing Quern because I wanted another game to play with my wife to wind down after work and it delivered. My only "complaint" is that it was "too short" in that it felt that there could have been more story development, but it all made sense in the end. In short, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Ever since Myst and its sequels I have been waiting for another game like this: A stunningly well designed world full of clever puzzles and mysteries (but - that´s important - without frequent unnerving adrenaline hits to my stress system in terms of threats, snipers or monsters...). Now Obduction is out, and I LOVE it!!! It´s reallllly great, I even bought a brandnew PC with much more capacity for graphics. I would not have done this for any other game. I try to make progress but I already fear to be through with it one day. I really hope this won´t be the last we hear from Cyan, I will need more of this, carry on folks, plz!!! :))) Doro Böhm, Germany, early backer ;)))

What more can be said, great visuals, fun puzzles and a good dose of Cyan humor.

So this is a really nice puzzle game, at least it would be. But it has three very serious flaws. Nr. 1: The translations. They are, in part, very bad. To the point that i had to swich back to english to understand what they were trying to say. Normally i dont care that much, but this is a puzzle game, clues are hidden and given in text. They should not have used google translate or some non-native speakers to translate (applys to the german version). Nr. 2: There is a quest giver yet no quest log. So if you missed what he told you the first time, forgot or didnt understand it you have nowhere to check what exactly he said. Also, he wont repeat it. Nr. 3: Some hints and clues are in the form of sketches or pictures. They come in an untolerable resolution. This could be a bug, but in effect it makes you google what it was supposed to look like and that spoilers a lot for you. I tried different graphic settings but nothing worked. For example, there ist some kind of newspaper/advertisement laying around that gives you a hint. I couldnt even see the picture let alone read the text. I assumed it was some blurry non-relevant decoration piece. Conclusion: Buy only if you are comfortable playing in english and googling solutions/clues.
