Myst (series): Difference between revisions

* [[Covers Always Lie]]: The Age of Tay is shown on the box art, but in-game, your only exploration of it is the shoreline, and a small prison cell, where you can look out into the Age's inner village, but never explore it.

* [[Fission Mailed]]: If you {{spoiler|enter the trap book when Gehn asks you to}}, the screen goes black. And stays black for the better part of a minute before something happens. The development team apparently wanted to make it longer, but the testers thought their computers had crashed.

* [[Indo-European Alien Language]]: The Rivenese language that the Moeity and Cho speak is actually Tok Pisin, a dialect known to a certain area of Papua New Guinea. Direct translations for the dialogue have not been released though.

* [[Its Always Sunny in Miami|It's Always Sunny In Riven]]

* [[Quicksand Box]]: The other games are divided into discrete, self-contained ages which can be completed independently of each other. ''Riven'' is almost completely comprised of a single, gigantic age, and it can be frustratingly easy to lose track of everything you have or haven't done yet.

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: Non-time-travel variant; Gehn isn't a particularly good linking author, so the quantum-uncertainty thing the linking books have going on makes the Ages he links to dangerously unstable. Atrus is much better at writing linking books than his father, and reckons he can use those same quantum-uncertainty shenanigans to salvage Gehn's Ages, or even undo the damage Gehn caused; but it's a very time-sensitive endeavor because Ages don't stop deteriorating just because you're not in them, and some are beyond saving already.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: The supplemental booklet for the soundtrack contains extra pages from Gehn's journal where he discusses some of his hobbies.
