“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.
Experience the beauty of Riven, released in 1997, featuring the original point-and-click gameplay style, with almost five thousand images and over three hours of full motion video.

Terrible graphics made it unplayable
I spent ages trying to get the graphics to a decent level, even after finding out that Ctrl-F5 goes to an advanced settings screen. But it was impossible to get anything usable out of it; I missed things to press because they didn't show up. This has been a huge disappointment after completing realMyst

Dissapointed
The game mechanics are good, They made game more open and larger (ok). The puzzles are harder, but the huge travel between notes makes it a chore. Everything else is worse and the story is awful. First, the theme and setting, they retconned the wife to be of some primitive natives/hippies named katra just to fit the story and try to imitate some mix of exagerated mystical version of native indians with carribean setting, when clearly sons of Atrus and her are not mixed race. (look like pure D'ni like their father Atrus and grandfather Ghen, which created this world lol). She can be from some other Age, but her face should match the D'ni. So many other plot wholes too. The world is not as cool and more like a mix of tropical and volacanic settings with the whole water colors feel of the 90s instead of the nice classic euro looking paintings feel of the first. The mysterty and magic feel of fantasy of the first one is gone. (The fad in the 90s with tropical savage tribe/hippies were everywhere, star trek had it too. ughh) Last, this brings me to the characters. They try to frame Ghen as evil because he wants to bring back his peoples culture and civilisation from destruction which were the people that made the whole point of these games, the tech linking books and worlds. They made Ghen evil because the way he could only accomplish this noble goal, is by opressing the natives or some other BS reason. TBH, after reading everthing and all accounts, once I read Ghens journal, I realised ghen was right in his words and got betrayed and lost much. My true ending would be to trap Artus in prisonbook, rape and kill the natives and take over from Ghen. Just to add insult to the creators. Thank God they left, and I'm not surprised the SJW comapony of Ubisoft took over.
