MYST 25TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATE: Posted September 11, 2018 by the Cyan Worlds Team:
We have been working to ready all of the games in the Myst series for the 25th Anniversary of Myst, which happens later this month. Most of the games in the series required compatibility updates, but Myst and Riven needed more than that to run reliably on modern day computers. We partnered up with the ScummVM team and have worked closely with them to bring you this updated version of Riven. Since the game is powered by ScummVM, the user interface is a bit different than the original release, but has most all of the same functionality. [Steam ScummVM version is now based on the Riven DVD of August 17, 1998, with improved audio.]
Should you have something you would like to report regarding Riven: The Sequel to Myst, please contact us directly at support@cyan.com. We would be happy to assist you.
We hope you enjoy playing Riven again :)
Thank you!
