Riven: The Sequel to Myst is the second in a series of fantasy adventures created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. This follows after the previous game, Myst. The games are set in fictional realms known as Ages, which can be accessed by "linking books", and you play as The Stranger, a visitor to the Ages. In this game, you must travel to Riven to save Atrus' wife Catherine, who has been taken by his father Gehn. The series continues with Myst 3: Exile. There is also an updated version of this game, also called Riven.
