Cyan Productions

Founded by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller in 1987, the studio transitioned from early children's software to mature, immersive world-building. Following the initial launch of their landmark adventure, the developer focused heavily on expanding the game's reach through numerous console adaptations. This resulted in the release of Myst (1994) for the 3DO, followed by high-profile console versions of Myst (1995) for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation. A localized Brazilian edition, Myst [Tec Toy] (1995), brought the slideshow-based exploration to South American Sega platforms.

As the franchise's popularity grew, the studio licensed further ports, leading to releases of Myst (1996) on the Atari Jaguar CD, Philips CD-i, and Amiga systems. These iterations adapted the point-and-click interface and detailed environments for diverse hardware configurations. The immense undertaking of managing these ports ran parallel to the intense four-year development of Riven: The Sequel To Myst (1997). This sequel expanded the lore of the D'ni civilization and the Art of Writing books, solidifying the fictional universe's narrative depth. Robyn Miller departed the company shortly after the sequel's release, while the studio continued to steward the franchise's legacy.
