Cyan is also the name of a computer software company for the Macintosh and Windows. The games the made include Spelunx (game), Manhole (game), Myst, Riven, Myst III: Exile. They are in the process of making a game with several names Parable (game), Mudpie (game), and Myst Online.

Cyan is known for concentrating on detailed plot, graphics, and exploration.
