* [[All There in the Manual]]
* [[Arc Number]]
▲* [[All There in the Manual]] - A lot of the backstory and character motivation is explained in The Book of Atrus, which is never fully explained in the game.
* [[Ascended Glitch]]: Some of the glitches in the game involve various moving segments of machines and paths being in the wrong position on certain screens, a number of them involving the submarine train in the village. One of these misplaced images of the sub was eventually used in the easter egg path.
▲* [[Arc Number]] - 5. Too many examples to list, but most notably the title (Riven has five letters, the full title has five words, the game comes on 5 discs, and the V is made prominent)
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[The End of the World
* [[Nintendo Hard]] - It's generally regarded to be the hardest in the series, with many clues to the few puzzles scattered across the game world, and integrated into it, rather than signposted as clues.▼
* [[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.
