'''''Riven''''' is a [[1997 CE|1997]] computer game developed by [[Cyan]] and distributed by [[Red Orb]], and the first sequel to ''[[Myst (game)|Myst]]''. The events of ''Riven'' take place in [[1806 CE|1806]].

== Plot ==
As the [[Stranger]], the player gets to experience the final days of [[Riven]], [[Gehn]]'s "Fifth Age". You are asked by [[Atrus]] to free his wife [[Catherine]]—who is being held by Gehn on [[Prison Island]]—and to trick Gehn into becoming imprisoned in a [[trap book]]. Finally, you signal Atrus by crushing the glass under the telescope on [[Temple Island]], opening the [[Star Fissure]] and thus triggering the destruction of the already distressingly unstable Age. Catherine has just enough time to rescue all the remaining inhabitants. She and her husband Atrus then reunite with you, thanking you and linking away, leaving you to jump through the fissure moments before the Age's collapse.

==Realtime 3D Remake==
Since the release of ''[[realMYST]]'', many fans have awaited a remake of ''Riven'' in real-time 3D. Cyan has never released such a product or even hinted that one was in progress, so the fan-made production company [[59 Volt Entertainment]] has begun ''[[The Starry Expanse Project]]'' to recreate ''Riven'' in an interactive real-time 3D environment.
