About Cyan Worlds Games
Cyan Worlds, Inc. (originally known simply as Cyan) is an iconic American video game developer founded in 1987 by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. Initially creating whimsical children's software, the studio permanently reshaped the video game landscape in 1993 with the release of the groundbreaking graphic adventure game, Myst.
Myst became an absolute cultural phenomenon, blending breathtaking pre-rendered 3D environments, ambient sound design, and non-linear, deeply intellectual storytelling. Players were dropped onto a mysterious, deserted island without instructions, tasked with uncovering a complex narrative by solving brilliant environmental puzzles. It went on to become the best-selling PC game of the 1990s, driving the widespread adoption of CD-ROM drives globally.
Following the monumental success of Myst and its acclaimed 1997 sequel, Riven, the studio rebranded as Cyan Worlds and continued to push boundaries with the Myst series, Uru, and spiritual successors like Obduction and Firmament. Throughout their history, Cyan has remained dedicated to crafting surreal, lore-rich worlds that prioritize deep immersion, exploration, and philosophical narrative puzzle-solving over traditional arcade combat.
