The remake of the 1997 classic Riven is a little different from the original, featuring much of the same story with several changed puzzles and even some new music. If you need some help getting through it, this 100% Riven 2024 walkthrough will walk you through the game from start to finish, including all endings and puzzles.

The first thing you see is Atrus, one of the main characters from the original game, Myst, who sends you to a new world via a linking book. You have to endure a few cutscenes before you start.

If you haven’t played Myst, you might find yourself a little lost in the story. You don’t need to know much about the first game to play the second, but here’s an oversimplified and very brief summary of some of the key points. Beware of spoilers for Myst’s story.

Myst begins with you falling into a chasm and picking up a book that carries you along. This is called a Linking Book, a book that connects two worlds (called Ages in Myst). When you touch a Linking Book, you are transported to the place on the other side.
