A Short Stay In Tay - Let's Play Riven #10

Welcome to my full walkthrough of "Riven: The Sequel to Myst," a captivating puzzle-solving, point-and-click, first-person exploration game developed by Cyan. In this "amnesia run," I'm playing the new real-time, fully-3D remake, released on June 25, 2024. This version features stunning updated graphics, improved controls, enhanced puzzles, and VR support.
Continuing the story from 1993's "Myst," I once again control "the Stranger," who must assist Atrus, an artisan and explorer, in rescuing his wife Catherine from the clutches of Gehn, Atrus's manipulative father and ruler of Riven: a beautiful world of interconnected islands. To save Catherine and return safely, I'll need to unravel the intricate mysteries of Riven, learn about its inhabitants, and confront the power-hungry Gehn. Who's telling the truth? What does that switch do? How do I open this door? Join me on this let's play to uncover all the answers!
Originally released by Cyan on October 31, 1997, "Riven" garnered critical acclaim and became the best-selling game of the year. Unlike its predecessor, this follow-up offers a more directionless approach to its puzzles and storytelling, but rewards with its expansive world building, deep lore, and gorgeous design. It's a game that has captivated me since I first played it 27 years ago, and I’m thrilled to dive into this modern remake and share the adventure with you.

Other than the Sierra "Quest" games my top 3 favorite adventure games were: The Longest Journey, Return To Zork, and Full Throttle.

That bent viewer got me stuck for a long time too, I kept trying to get the boat to move to lure the whark over to bend it back into place. I'm pretty sure you have to time the click on that one so that the right symbol is facing where the viewer should be. I'm loving this series, I watched the first 1.5 or so, then played through the game myself :)

You may have figured this out by now, but the solution to the Survey Island puzzle is just to look at the dome itself to time your click (to match the appearance of the symbol) instead of through the viewer. Hence why it gives you another perspective when you click on it... deceptively simple 🙃

LOL ok that is what happen here..I got shot in the back and blacked out and didn't see what happened. :) Also you do need to read your new book. :)

[@OZtwo]

Ok, humor: I started watching your videos to see how you got the fifth transport working!!! I was like WTF..NO WAY! lol (edit: NO! that didn't work! WTF!!! NO! :) ) (edit2: click until it stops must be at an angle so you need to press it before it turns to the right spot if you get what I'm typing)
