Riven: The Sequel to Myst was first released in 1997 and has been hailed as a PC classic of the era. It's so beloved that an existing fan-driven remake, The Starry Expanse Project, was already in the works when Cyan Worlds announced this remake. Recognizing their efforts, Cyan Worlds worked with The Starry Expanse to incorporate their efforts into this official remake.

Outside of PC, it's unclear which platforms, VR or otherwise, Riven will target.

ABOUT THIS GAME​

Riven



“Thank God you’ve returned… I need your help.”

With these words, Atrus asks you to undertake a perilous mission where your success is far from assured. Travel to Riven, a mysterious island-filled land on the verge of collapse, to rescue Atrus’ wife, Catherine. She is being held captive by Gehn, Atrus’ father and the self-declared overlord of Riven. Explore Riven, solve puzzles to reveal its mysteries, find Catherine, and make your escape.

Intricate Storytelling and Mind-Bending Puzzles​


Challenge your intellect with Riven's cunning puzzles woven through its narrative, offering a unique experience that unfolds as you delve deeper into the enigmatic world. You'll uncover a story of intrigue, betrayal, and a civilization teetering on the brink of collapse as you unlock the secrets of Riven.

Immersive Environments and Stunning Graphics​


Riven takes you on a journey through a world filled with surreal islands, each meticulously crafted with unparalleled attention to detail. From dense, lush jungles to awe-inspiring caverns, every corner will immerse you in an otherworldly adventure as you explore your surroundings and figure out where Catherine is- and how to escape.

An Expanded World To Explore​


Created by legendary indie developer Cyan Worlds, and based on the award-winning original release from 1997, Riven expands its epic narrative beyond both Myst AND the original edition of Riven. Encounter an immersive and visually stunning world, and discover intricate puzzles that will captivate newcomers as well as reveal new mysteries to uncover for long-time fans.

Fully Re-imagined Gaming Experience​

This reminds me of Room games a little bit. It's my kind of game so will eventually get to it, so many games, man.

I use to love Myst so im all in.
Yeah, Myst. I was told about it by a friend, didn't get to it just yet. But I would recommend the Room games if you haven't played them, they are really good. Da Vinci house too, but not as good. They made 3 games, and each was better than the one before.

Amazing recreation. I was able to finish Myst when I was 14 or so. When it came to Riven, it slap me harder than I anticipated. I never was able to finish it.
