Enter a deceptively beautiful world torn apart by age-old conflicts, where secrets lie hidden at every turn, and nothing is as it seems. You must search, you must explore, you must learn the truth.

Prepare to enter a world "torn asunder" by timeless, unresolved conflicts--a world of incomparable beauty, intrigue, and betrayal. Prepare to go to Riven. Journey through vast, awe-inspiring landscapes, where clouds sit nestled in a deep blue sky and the rolling sea waters shimmer from bright morning sunlight. But be forewarned: nothing is quite as it seems. Reclusive beings and mysterious creatures populate the land. Deep, dark secrets lay hidden at every turn. Your utmost powers of observation and reason are required to complete a most elusive task. You must let Riven become your world. Only then may the truth be discovered and a world be saved. Riven stands as a story for all time, a story that evokes a sense of awe, wonder, and profound purpose. Prepare to go to Riven --a world unlike any you've ever known.

Taking up where Myst left off, get to know the Age of Riven with meticulously remastered sights and sounds that lets you explore Atrus' trap book, the Moiety intervention, the mag-lev ride, Jungle Village, Catherine's prison, Gehn's Age, the Wahrk throne, and all the mysteries of the island with just a simple touch or swipe.

“I’m truly amazed that we can transport explorers from the personal comfort of their phones or tablets to the intricate worlds we first created decades ago," said Rand Miller, CEO, Cyan. “Even while our work is being placed in museums and nominated for the Video Game Hall of Fame, its wonderful that a new generation of gamers is able to experience and appreciate the work that went into Myst and Riven.” 

"We're once again so honored to be working with such a storied franchise. Riven is truly a masterpiece that reveals itself quite intimately with the pocket experience," said Ryan Holowaty, COO, Noodlecake Studios.
