Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of a translation of Riven into a
text-based game? I've been looking for one.

Thanks,
Nick Matteo

It would be an interesting design challenge -- but a difficult one,
since so many of the puzzles are visual.

In any case, as far as I know, it's never been done.

I'm still thinking about what to put in this space.

Excerpts from such a game....
[tiny spoilers...]

























"You're on a path in the forest. It's really pretty and there
are a lot of exotic sounds. There's a post in front of you
with a button on top that's kind of hard to see."

"You see strange and wondrous animal. It's making the sound
'Squaoooonk'"

"You've just entered a room. Usually the doors close behind you
but this time they didn't. Hmmmm..."

"You're looking at a map of one of the islands. There something
special at coordinates 13,21".


No. I just don't see it being much of a hit.
