About
“My worst fears have been realized. The damage is more extensive than previously imagined. I must act while there is still time. I must find someone… to send to Riven.”
Enter a deceptively beautiful world torn apart by age-old conflicts, where secrets lie hidden at every turn, and nothing is as it seems. Search through dense jungles, awe-inspiring caverns and monolithic structures. Use your wits and powers of observation to solve devious puzzles and find secretive characters. Only then will you learn the truth about this troubled land and its inhabitants. You must let Riven become your world— before an entire world is lost.

Riven was my introduction into the Myst series when I was a kid, and here I am... back at it again! Love this game!

Incredible game. Puzzles are integrated into the environment seamlessly and the world, architecture and aesthetic is so unique. Big recommend.

Epic adventure
It is a bit of an adventure from one island to another. There are lot of pit falls.
Although pretty old-school, obviously, Riven features some of the cleverest puzzles I've come accross in any video game. Some of them are VERY hard, but never unfair. You will need a strong sense of observation and definitely something to take notes.

Welp. After having this in my Steam Library for a few years and never tried playing... it doesn't really run properly for me. Super low res and not graphic settings, doesn't save, and I can't even get the quit menu selection to work. So a no go. I played this way back in the day on my old Mac, but skip this one and get the newer version. (2024) Looks better too. I'll probably do that. I enjoyed it in the olden days. I wonder if it's too late for a refund?
Still one of the cleverest and most visually stunning adventure games ever!
