Riven is an absolute masterpiece in visual storytelling. I remember playing it when it came out and just being blown away by it.

Riven and its predecessor Myst catapulted me into 3D modeling, graphics programming, and finally development in general. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today if those games didn't plant a seed in my mind back then.

I still listen to the soundtrack on repeat when I'm doing work that requires intense concentration, like coding.
