Unlike many large-scale fan works, this one has the blessing and cooperation of the original creators, so it has a better than average chance of eventually being released. With Gehn safely in the prison (and Catherine free), you must then signal Atrus who will come with a linking book to bring everyone back home.Ī fan-made Updated Re-release is in the works to recreate the game in a fully 3D engine, called The Starry Expanse Project. Now, stuck in Riven without your trap book, you must regain the trap book and find a way to lead Gehn into it. A rebel scout takes the trap book, frees you, and runs off. The guard in turn ends up being hit by a tranquilizer dart and falls asleep. The instant you link to Riven, you trigger a trap and become stuck in a booth behind bars, and lose your trap book after a nearby guard demands it. The gateway image is badly distorted and it turns out Atrus is stuck writing in corrections to Riven's book to delay Armageddon due to Gehn's abysmal writing skills. Atrus opens the descriptive book to Riven and it soon becomes apparent that Riven is unlike the previous ages you have visited. What's worse is that the Age was created and is ruled over by Atrus' twisted and deluded father Gehn, who sees himself as a god, and who has now imprisoned Catherine.Īt the beginning of the game, you meet Atrus again who assigns you to the age of Riven with the goal to capture Gehn in a book that was specifically designed for this task, and to rescue Catherine. But now Atrus's wife Catherine has been trapped on the Age of Riven by their sons.
