it was winter so things were rather bleak. I was passing through the area so i thought i would visit cyan worlds headquarters or at least just pass by and see their famous inside-out door that serves as the main entrance. you dont get that effect at all in fucking unreal engine. the idea is that you are unwrapping a little gemstone inside your computer. it should be pre-rendered because thats whats best for a world-based, environmental story-telling based game like this.

and it has a sappy environmental message as its central moral and theme. ive seen obduction playthroughs and i didnt really like it. i wish they had just kept making original titles for all those years and maybe released a string of really good, well-thought out remasters to keep the coffers full. then they made obduction and got back to business and they are currently working on another new game called firmament (?). for decades (?) after riven they just made weird mobile games and remasters of their old games that werent any good, broken even. i would have preferred on-rails only really - the world is more romantic when your view of it is limited. they said it will be free-roam and presumably will have an on-rails option as well. Recently cyan announced a full re-make of riven.
