Compelling and challenging mysteries await you in either direction, but be wary of the colors red and blue. Which one can you trust?[/p][p][/p][h3]About Red & Blue[/h3][p][/p][p]Whether you are playing Myst or Blue Prince, you will find papers of red and blue scattered throughout the rooms and areas as you explore. But which color should you trust?[/p][p][/p][h3]A Note from Cyan[/h3][p][/p][p]A few years ago, Tonda Ros (the founder of Dogubomb, developer of Blue Prince) showed us his work-in-progress of Blue Prince. Since then, we've been hooked on it here at Cyan. Myst's influences are clear in Blue Prince, but Tonda has certainly made an outstandingly unique experience that is "one for the Ages", if you will.[/p][p][/p][p]We couldn't be more thrilled to finally collaborate with Dogubomb and Raw Fury on this bundle.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]If you are interested in experiencing more in the Myst universe, check out our recent remake to its sequel, Riven. Riven is also hailed as one of the best puzzle games of all time, following the success of Myst.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]You can pick also up Myst and Riven in a Complete the Set bundle for 15% off.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
