    Very cool. I remember playing Riven way back in the day. I was too young to really understand the game, both the story and the puzzles back then; all I cared about was exploring the world. It was beautiful and strange with a mysterious melancholy hanging over everything. I was completely enraptured.

    It's nice to see it updated into a seemless world (rather than a clickable slideshow). That's obviously the biggest needed change, but hopefully it holds up well besides that. It's been too long for me to remember anything other than my childhood impressions, but I know that I loved Outer Wilds which was clearly inspired by the Myst series, so I'm looking forward to playing through Riven now that I'm old enough to fully appreciate it.

    Oh man that gave me shivers! This game was a huge part of my childhood. Perfect tease with the tram, I used to replay that section time and time again because the graphics were so amazing back...

    Oh and the sounds are spot on, can’t believe my memory flashbacks the sound as the tram spun around gave me.

    Just gotta dig out my old Prima strategy guide!

    So excited for this! I hope they keep going with the other games after this. I played Exile for a tiny bit but couldn't get into, hope it gets the same treatment next.

    Perfect timing. Riven is one of those games I replay every 5+ years as i forget all the solutions, and I just had my fiance play Myst. I was looking into my options for Riven but waiting for this...

    Perfect timing. Riven is one of those games I replay every 5+ years as i forget all the solutions, and I just had my fiance play Myst. I was looking into my options for Riven but waiting for this seems like a no brainier (so long as it doesn't have major issues).
