@gilespink.bsky.social and I spent probably way too much time designing an old school-style Riven calendar for Cyan complete with new tidbits of lore, very proud of this thing ♥️
(also some blankets with my PS classic trophy art that we're making solely because I PERSONALLY WANT THEM)
Check out this amazing remastered (at 4k!) version of "The Making of Myst" mini-doc! Originally included on the Myst CD-ROM in 1993, this version has been carefully recreated by Ted Sase using footage preserved by the VGHF!

Of all the footage in the Cyan collection, I'm not sure anything hit me with the same "OH, SHIT" reaction that this did. Footage of Tasha Koontz singing the legendary Gallery theme from Uru. I never even considered this was something that could exist

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.
✨📚 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!

Three richly detailed desk mats themed after characters from Riven—Catherine, Gehn, and Atrus—are shown in stacked panels. The top mat features Catherine’s aesthetic: stone textures, dagger motifs, and an opened journal inset with a linking book. The middle mat channels Gehn with ornate D’ni script, brass instruments, and a central seal. The bottom mat evokes Atrus with scientific instruments, writing tools, and aged books on a warm red rug. All three mats are branded "RIVEN" and rest on a concrete background chalked with D’ni glyphs.
Our Gehn, Catherine, and Atrus Gaming Desk Mats are restocked! 🎉
We felt your pain when these Riven-themed mats sold out, so we’re excited to bring them back to you.

This is probably way more effort than Sony was expecting, but HEY it was super fun getting to draw a bunch of tiny little vignettes from classic Myst/Riven 📕📘
This is one of the best trailers for any Myst game!

We can now see a clearer Sirrus and Achenar from the original Myst in a larger size than a postage stamp! Thanks to @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social!

A rich chocolate cake decorated with 3D-printed elements inspired by the game Riven, including a silver Moiety dagger, a bright orange ytram frog, golden D’ni script, a spherical eye marble from the original Riven game, and a model of Gehn's pipe. The decorations rest on a swirled chocolate ganache top, with shaved chocolate pieces around the sides. A caption at the bottom reads: "RIVEN BIRTHDAY CAKE by Daniel Smith".
🎂🗡️For his father’s birthday, fan artist Daniel Smith created a Riven-themed cake topped with 3D-printed relics from the game they both love.
From Moiety dagger to ytram, it’s a rich slice of nostalgia. 🩵

The creators of Myst series (@cyan.com) saved hundreds of video tapes from the making of their iconic adventure game franchose.
We helped preserve them. Here's what we found.
A Steam Deck rests on a table, displaying a scene from Myst III, showing a domed building against a bright blue sky. Above the device, bold text reads: “The perfect place to plan revenge...” and below it: “...wherever you are.” Logos for Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven, and Myst III: Exile appear at the bottom with Cyan Worlds and Steam Deck icons, and text indicating the games are “Classic Cyan Games. Verified on Deck.” The tone is playful and dramatic, evoking mystery and nostalgia.
✨ We’re thrilled to announce that Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven (1997), and Myst III: Exile have been updated to ver 2.0—and now Steam Deck verified!
The update includes more robust controller support, better save game support, and platform support for both Windows & Mac.
A screenshot from Riven, a game remade by Cyan Worlds. A richly rendered circular stone table in a classical setting displays a central leather-bound book with ornate gold corner fittings and a round medallion on its cover. Surrounding the book are several brass and copper scientific instruments, including a globe-like sphere, a small telescope, an astrolabe, and a stylized beetle sculpture. The table sits between two elaborately carved pillars, and its center features a star-shaped emblem with the symbol for the D'ni number 5 and symmetrical feather motifs. The lighting casts warm, detailed shadows, and the scene has a luxurious, museum-like atmosphere. The image is branded with a “RIVEN” logo in the bottom right corner.
