Or even better IMHO something web-based [that can be used on Linux]. At least the first one is basically hypermedia. (Was it based on Hypercard?)

Yes, it was built in HyperCard.

If you are into this kind of thing, "Beneath a Steel Sky" is an amazing game and it's even available in many repos.

For what it's worth, ScummVM supports Riven pretty well, and you can get the game itself off of GOG.
