Zev and I are huge fans of the environmental puzzle game Myst and its sequels, which were created by Cyan Worlds under the direction of Rand and Robyn Miller. We were excited to back Obduction, their newest game. When the game came out, we got a special journal just to take notes in.

I ended up taking more of the notes, and I got a little bit loopy at times. But apparently Rand Miller enjoyed reading our ramblings! aaaaaaaa 😍

You can see all of our scribblings below. Warning: This is spoilers for the whole game. These notes and maps were our reference for all the puzzles. We never got lost, although we did have to do some creative indexing with Post-Its.

If you haven't played the game and you are able to, stop reading now and just go play it! It is gorgeous!

There's a couple references to crashes, but don't let that scare you off. We started playing the game as soon as it released, and they've fixed some Mac bugs since then. Also, it turns out some of our RAM was bad.
