The premise of the game is that you're abducted by aliens and left on their planet to find out why you're there, and furthermore, where you are.

Quote from:  the Kickstarter page.
Obduction is an all-new, real-time, first-person adventure that harkens back to the spirit of Cyan’s earlier games Myst and Riven. Obduction resurrects that incredible feeling of suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a new world to explore, discover, solve, and become part of.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of Myst, one of the best-selling computer games in history. The Myst name is widely recognized as uniquely defining a new kind of gaming - amazingly immersive worlds where the point is to understand your environment rather than test your reflexes. The Obduction project will take what Cyan knows about creating deeply immersive worlds and apply it to an entirely new game with fantastic scenery, incredible architecture, compelling story, and exceptional challenges.

They're crowdfunding it on Kickstarter, with their goal set at $1.1M USD with only 28 days left. Go back it here if you like MYST and want to see something like it.

i can't get over the fact that people for over $10000 or more for these kinds of things

people with that kind of cash don't always feel like they have to have a return. hell, ashton kutcher made $24 mil last month and he invested half of it in side projects that won't be profitable by design.

all i can think of right now is if they executed it with the same level of ingenuity as Antichamber and the same mechanics as MYST. ugh nerd boners.
