Over a year ago, the team here at Cyan spent about four months building a prototype for a new game in the Myst universe, codenamed “Project Anglerfish”. The prototype (and this teaser trailer made for it) were purpose-built for publisher-eyes only. For a variety of reasons, this project couldn’t move forward at the time, BUT we’re still proud of the work the team did – so we’re sharing the teaser for the prototype with you all now.
Don’t worry, we’re still hard at work on other new Myst universe things. More on that to come.

The Anglerfish prototype was created by the incredibly talented team at Cyan Worlds, Inc., including (but not limited to - and listed in no particular order): Eric A. Anderson, Hannah Gamiel, Claire Hummel, Harrison G. Pink, Karl Johnson, Norah Porter, Jason Calvert, Michael Trepka, Brandon Collins, Andrew Sales, Autumn Palfenier, Ryan Warzecha, Robert Kreps, Lance VerMeer, Jeremiah Castro, Rick Campana, Rafael Rodriguez, Josh Van Veldhuizen, Marc Ferrell, Russel Beauregard, Gabriel Cudmore, Jacob Lindholm, Jeff Lanctot, Lloyd Woodall, and Michael Dogherra, with internal playtesting (and/or emotional) support from Rand Miller, Tony Fryman, Mark DeForest, Lauren Hall-Stigerts, and more.
