Images from The Ages of Myst
A picture of the computer game Riven Riven is the second installment in The Ages of Myst series. Improved technology made it possible for Riven to be even more visually stunning than its predecessor, Myst . An incredible world of inter-connected islands, breath-taking vistas, and mind-boggling puzzles awaits the player.

"In the award-winning Riven your journey starts anew. Enter a deceptively beautiful world, torn apart by age-old conflicts and secrets . . . and where nothing is as it seems. You must summon every spark of intellect and intuition. 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.
(from The Ages of Myst fifth anniversary commemorative edition)

Game Description:

Riven continues the story of Myst. We are introduced to Atrus' father, Gehn, who is a little, well, crazy. He has kidnapped Catherine, Atrus' wife, and imprisoned her somewhere in Riven, a place made up of several islands in the middle of the ocean. Atrus has enlisted us to help him rescue Catherine and capture Gehn. Again we must solve numerous puzzles and delve deep into D'ni history to complete our quest.

"Riven heralds the aesthetic convergence of multimedia, cinema, and literature. It's a blockbuster and a page-turner rolled into one."
