Riven
Description
“I know what he’s doing… He’s watching you.”
Travel to Riven, a beautiful and mysterious world on the verge of collapse. Explore this mysterious place, solve its puzzles, reveal its mysteries, make a daring rescue, and escape.
VISIT A MYSTERIOUS WORLD
“I am Gehn. I assume you’ve heard of me.”
Riven takes you on a journey through dense jungles, awe-inspiring caverns, and monolithic structures. Explore a world bent to the whims of a man who sees himself as a god and where every corner will immerse you in an otherworldly adventure.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A SURREAL LANDSCAPE
“There’s a great deal of history that you should know…”
Riven rewards careful observation. Challenge Riven’s cunning puzzles, deftly woven throughout its narrative. The environment of Riven will reveal the story of this world as you make meaning from seemingly disparate bits of information and learn everything you need to know about this world.
UNRAVEL RIVEN’S SECRETS
“...it may be time to give this inexplicable mystery a second look.”
Who are the mysterious island dwellers you encounter during your exploration? What purpose does the giant golden dome serve? Why is this world on the verge of collapse? Play Riven and discover the answers to these mysteries- and more.

Riven remains an enchanting place to visit, though not everything appears exactly as it was.

When Riven was first released in 1997 it was heralded as a majestic piece of art. Now almost 30 years later, Cyan Worlds returns to that world, bringing it to modern standards using the tools of today. Once again, they've created a majestic piece of art, and a world worth exploring all over again. It'll test your mind, it's a feast for your eyes and ears, and if you enjoy deep puzzles, it's a game you absolutely cannot miss.

Love the Myst series of games
I've been playing the Myst series of games ever since they first came out years ago. I love puzzle games, and this one gives you plenty to do. The visuals and game play of this updated version of Riven are great. I've been playing for over 4 hours and still have a long ways to go before completing the game. Compared to the original version of Riven, this version is far superior.

Not bad at all!
This game was seriously not in the same playing style as the orginal, but the story is still the same. If you have played the old Riven game, you'll find yourself going through new puzzles and taking different paths. Everytime Cyan makes a new game, prepare youself whatever challenge they will throw into it. 8/10

Upgreaded classic masterpiece
Revisiting Riven 15+ years after I first played it was an amazing experience. It looks as beautiful as I remember and the puzzles have been redesigned to better fit the 3d environment. The only thing I miss are the FMVs, but they wouldn't work well with this version.
