I've reviewed @aarongwynaire28.bsky.social's Neyyah for @official.entertainium.co; The most faithful successor to original Myst and Riven I have ever played. entertainium.co/2025/08/29/n...

Review: Neyyah Is The Most Faithful Successor To The Original Myst And Riven I Have Ever Played – Entertainium

Neyyah is like playing an unpublished Myst game which fell through a portal from an alternative universe.

Follow that pipe, walk that path, open that door ... Neyyah focusses heavily on observation and exploration. Sink into its beautiful graphics, music and sounds. Neyyah will become your world. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #ScreenshotSaturday #adventuregame #upcoming #gaming

Prerendered graphics bring bizarre landscapes to your screens with Neyyah: lands surrounded by big oceans (overlaid animations) and p'n'c navigation generate a fully charged 90s charm. Nostalgia. Adventure. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #screenshotsaturday #adventuregame

Exploration is the name of the game, the smell in the air, beckoning you further into the deep lore and immersive environments of Neyyah. Like Myst and Blue Prince? Then Neyyah awaits. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #screenshotsaturday #adventuregame #gaming #gameart #indiedev

Adventure in Neyyah won't always involve long treks across strange alien landscapes ... There are many consoles you need to operate in Neyyah, and many notes and journals to discover. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #AdventureGameFriday #followfriday #gaming #pcgaming #gamedev

I have always enjoyed designing the details in Neyyah's world. And sometimes the strangest things can connect scenes together. Been fun working in these areas recently! Wishlist Neyyah: s.team/a/1289720 #screenshotsaturday #adventuregame #gameart #gaming #upcoming #gamedev

Neyyah isn't about standing in front of a wall and counting patterns to find out the combination to a code just next to you. Neyyah requires exploration. Observation. Only then will you truly understand Neyyah ... Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #ShowcaseThursday #gaming

Neyyah's world offers familiarity - yet, an edge of mystery, of alien technology, stains the metal contraptions you stumble upon. A patchwork world of cultural clashes and humming intrigue await you in Neyyah. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #ScreenshotSaturday #gameart #gaming

See Neyyah as a world you about to explore. Best get the pen and paper ready, and make notes! Solution are found in wandering, and pondering. Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720 #followfriday #adventuregamefriday #gameart #upcoming #gaming #pcgaming #scifi #gamedesign

Neyyah offers a variety of environments to explore: tranquil atmosphere, studded within an otherwise busy array of contraptions. Isolation may consume your thoughts, but allow the emptiness to speak the truths to you! Wishlist: s.team/a/1289720
