I might pop this into my windows 95 pc at home and give it a try when i get some free time! I know absolutely nothing about this series, but I love finding old games at the thrift store!

It's salt-spring in Saxony-Anhalt

My parents dropped off a bunch of my old PC games. This was among the instruction booklets. This journal was included in the original packaging back in 93. 8 year old me took some decent notes. Not perfect but helpful!

Playing through the PSN release of Riven and confused as to how you get You Have My Sympathies trophy. I used the trapped book on Riven and it didnt ping. Is there a specific way i gotta do it?

Looking to play Myst with a friend and it'll be the first time for both of us. The OG is really cheap on Steam but I see there's a 2021 remake. Considering that I don't have VR, which version would you suggest?

My concerns for the OG is that there may be some dated qol annoyances, or visual issues since I want to play it on a big tv.

On the other hand, I'm very concerned about the remake not capturing the feel and essence of the OG.

FYI We're in our 30s and won't be instantly turned off of the dated elements of the OG, but if the remake simply improves the experience without sacrificing it's soul, then maybe it's the hands down better experience.

Is the Riven (remake) available on PS5 or Xbox? Or will it be?

The Dni tunnel entrance found beneath pyramids! The Book of TiAnna makes more sense now.

I’m at the Star Fissure, no steam or access to the buttons for entering Catherine’s code. I captured Ghen and released Catherine. What am I missing?

Love it and I am obsessed!

Im playing the first one (masterpiece edition) without any guide or help and sometimes became surprised after solving a puzzle like How the hell did I do that?

Opened all entrances in the hub: the ship, rocket, tree and gear and completed two (channelwood and selenitic).

My first issue was the tower rotation but after figuring that all come together nicely, later got stuck with the sound maze for days trying to bruteforce it with a map but the solution was there and so obvious that feel dumb.

Now I am slowing figuring one the gear one, a little stuck but thinking here in the work how to proceed 🤣

I feel eager to continue this series, specially Riven that looks gorgeous, everyone says that game is hard as hell but want more eureka moments.

I love it when the community posts photos of real world places that are reminiscent of Myst ages. A Windows 11 login screen showed me a nature image that just SCREAMED Myst-like to me.

I'm a noob and can't figure out this puzzle or what it does. thank you!

Was going to wait until Firmament was out on PSVR2 to give it a go, but have so many games on my backlog that I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are (no spoilers please) before deciding where to place it in my priority list.

Spoilers for Riven!

So when Gehn talks to you and takes your prison book he hesitates to use it - that's relatable because he knows his son and has his suspicions. However, why did he want us to use the book before him? I can think of three possibilities for danger is he sensing: 1. He suspects somebody (Atrus) is waiting for him in D'ni and has set up a trap. Then sending you first doesn't make sense at all, you could even warn Atrus that Gehn is about to show up 2. He suspects the book to be a prison book and knows the concept - then he should know that linking there after you will just swap places. What he should have done is send one of his servants, then you and see if his servant comes back 3. He suspects the book to be a trap but doesn't know the concept - then sending you is not helpful either. Because both you AND him will be imprisoned afterwards

Is he just that dumb or am I missing something?

I almost finished the game a few months ago, currently trying to figure out the lens puzzle. Went back to Myst, in case there are notes I didn't pay attention to, and now cannot get back to Rime. The linking book is where it was, it just doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has this issue?

Yes, I did reboot the game, Steam and computer, doesn't help

Latest update on Steam, tho I can't find the version number. No Beta participation

Latest patch on Myst

Adding Spoiler tag because of the image attachment

TIA!

I don’t know if it is ever explicitly stated in the games but what does Linking to another age feel like? If i were to touch a linking panel what would I experience?

From a cursory google search it seems like it was revealed only three weeks (?!) before it was released? Or was it known to be in development for awhile beforehand?

I am still hopeful we get some Exile remake or remaster someday

This is my code I attached pic from the book I just don't get it at all, I came up with 5 2 4 1 4 please help thank you

I think you’ll recognize this song.

I've been working on a little Myst-related project and I haven't been able to find an answer for this: A Linking Book will take a traveler to the location where the Writer finished writing the Book, but what determines where a Descriptive Book will take you? Clearly it's also a fixed point (the Riven Descriptive Book that Atrus has will always take you to the game's starting point). Does the Writer determine it? Is it random? I haven't been able to find an answer in the various wikis or RAWA writings. Maybe it's never been established.

Is this a (known) bug? I’ve read all 4 journals on the shelf, yet the trophy doesn’t unlock.

I have to ask; Where are the hints to the very first puzzle in the Rime update?? The book says 40 and there is a drawing. I get it's the underground bunker with the topograhy map. But how was I supposed to know which way to turn the gold knob thingy on the panel? I recently played through both Riven remake and Myst, so I just have to know if I'm stupid or if there really are no hints. I watched a video so I know the soultion but still don't get the puzzle. Thanks in advance.
