This is a Complete the Set bundle, which means that even if you already own one of the titles in the bundle, you still receive a discount to buy the other.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]The Red & Blue Bundle features the award-winning remake of the best-selling title Myst (2021) alongside the genre-defying puzzle strategy sensation Blue Prince (2025). 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]

[p] Due to Apple’s recent announcement of newer macOS software updates preventing the future support of many non-Apple Silicon Macs, and increased frequency of reports to our support address of instability on Intel and AMD Macs in the latest macOS versions despite our lack of impactful changes to our games during those times, we are updating our minimum and recommended requirements of Myst to remove official support for non-Apple Silicon Macs. [/p][p]You may still be able to play Myst on certain Intel and AMD-based Macs at this time, but you may run into unexpected issues with game stability, performance, visual defects, and more, especially if you are playing on macOS Sequoia or above. Unfortunately, Cyan is unable to make meaningful changes to remedy these issues, as they appear rooted in changes in the operating system updates themselves and how they interact with our games over time.[/p][p]As a studio that has been around for over 35 years, we've seen many operating systems and different hardware platforms go through similar growing pains. With some of our games being on digital stores for 15+ years, we pride ourselves in being able to maintain and continue offering our decades-old award-winning games to folks. However, there almost always comes a time in which software or hardware deprecation forces us to make tough decisions like this, and we can no longer provide the experience folks expect us to in those cases.
