[ishkur]

We'd like to share an exciting project we hope Myst fans will enjoy. It is a new Virtual Reality Adventure experience by one of the developers of Riven.

Ethereon is a highly immersive VR adventure filled with novel, puzzle-based interactions that are designed to take full advantage of the upcoming VR revolution.

Immerse yourself into the oneiric world of Ethereon and unlock the hidden secrets of this otherworldly realm through a series of carefully-designed puzzles that are both rewarding and fun!

Specifically, Tony Davidson, who "served as CG Development Artist for the production of Riven" and more recently worked at DreamWorks Animation on several films between 2006 and 2009.

We have several updates to the Ethereon Kickstarter including links to articles, reviews of the game, links to gameplay footage, and more. If you are a fan of Myst and Riven, we think you will enjoy this game!

Thank you JWPlatt for the reply! Tony Davidson has been working on this game for about a year and a half. I first met him before he started to work at Cyan on Riven: the sequel to Myst. I joined the project this summer to work on creatures for the game. You can see more of Tony's artwork at http://innervision-vr.com and read more about the project at our Kickstarter page.
