In the realm of puzzle-adventure games, few names are as venerated as Cyan Worlds, the legendary game studio responsible for iconic titles such as Myst and Riven. Now, they have opened another dimension of gaming brilliance with the release of Firmament.

Firmament offers players an incredibly immersive experience with its unique steampunk aesthetic, rich storytelling, and immersive world-building, elements that fans of the studio's previous titles have come to adore. Prepare to explore and unlock the mysteries of three unique Realms… and perhaps even beyond!

The world of Firmament beckons you with a sense of captivating wonder and riveting secrets around every corner. It is a visual feast that strikes an exquisite balance between fantasy and believability. As you traverse this seemingly abandoned realm, you'll come to realize that each element in the world was constructed with a purpose, one that you are compelled to discover.

Solve the Puzzles with Your Adjunct

As an explorer in the vast world of Firmament, you're equipped with a device known as an "Adjunct," which serves as your primary interface for interacting with the intricate devices spread across the Realms. Your journey to unlocking the realm's secrets lies in the clever utilization of the Adjunct, solving the mind-bending puzzles that stand in your way.

Moreover, you will need help embarking on this journey. Alongside the Adjunct, a mysterious apparition accompanies you, possessing her own stories to unravel. Each of the three Realms you explore harbors its own mysteries and secrets. As you delve deeper into the grand mystery, you'll question everything. Is the apparition trustworthy? What is the Realms' purpose? Why are there massive, enigmatic machines scattered across the world?

Firmament leaves it to you to find the answers.

Built for VR and 2D Displays

The game supports 2D and VR play, promising an unforgettable gaming experience regardless of your platform preference. The VR experience, supporting Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest 2 via Oculus Link, includes Free Roam and Teleport modes and numerous "comfort level" features catering to novice and experienced VR users.

To add another exciting element to this release, they have announced that Firmament has been verified for the Steam Deck, ensuring smooth gameplay for this handheld gaming device.

Cyan Worlds offers a special discount for the first week to commemorate the game's launch. Players can choose between two editions: The Keepers' Bundle, which includes the game, The Official Soundtrack, The Strategy Guide, and The Art of Firmament, or the standard version, Firmament - Just The Game.
