User Rating: 9.3 | Riven: The Sequel to Myst PS
At the beginning of the game you find yourself in the presence of Atrus who is still busily 'writing' his worlds. You don't know exactly who you are or where you came from but at any rate he is thankful you have returned because guess what? He needs your help! He wants you to return to Riven in order to capture his father Gehn - who has apparently gone a bit ga-ga - and to rescue someone called Catherine. To assist you in completing these tasks Atrus gives you a book containing most of the history you'll need and a 'linking book' to get you there, which, on this occasion unfortunately, is only a one-way ticket. However, he tells you that once you've completed your mission you should signal him and he will come and get you. The next thing you know you're being whisked through the ether only to arrive in a strange place behind bars! Don't despair however - a short cut-scene follows during which a couple of odd characters appear, your 'linking book' is stolen and you are released from your prison to begin your adventure
