Riven: The Sequel to Myst has been remade. Today's release brings the classic 1997 title to a new era with updated visuals and features on top of a myriad of difficult puzzles. Today's release of Riven can be played in either a traditional (flatscreen) mode or in VR. It can be yours for under $35 via Steam, GOG, Mac App Store, or the Meta Store.
If you liked Myst and never played Riven, you absolutely must play this game. It's an incredible game in so many different ways.
When exploring Riven's decaying age, the player will feel like an archeologist, slowly unraveling the mysteries revealed by carefully exploring Riven’s five enigmatic islands. Players will lose themselves in the world as they uncover clues, decipher foreign languages, and immerse themselves in the game’s intricate lore.
