So how long was it???

about 9 hours with some back tracking trying to remember how to get to the moiety, though and I spend some time exploring taking screenshots.

If you're a fan of narrative puzzle mystery games this is fun, NOT sure its worth the price for the length, but they DID add more content from the original CDROM release and mixed up some of the puzzles so my notes from 1997 weren't entirely helpful :)

No way I'm smart enough to finish this game in 9 hours, maybe if I'd finished the game before...

Folks, I'm pretty sure this is a joke. Any ending, including bad ones, earns the 'game complete' achievement. And you can reach one of those endings before even going to Riven.

I was intentionally doing some of the bad endings on my first playthrough and you can actually get the achievement for reaching one of the final areas by doing one of these bad endings. You get sent there (briefly) without actually solving the puzzle to get there normally.

So some of the achievements can be done in interesting ways.

?? it's a remake of a 1997 game, if you didn't know do some research and find out what it was before purchasing well that's on you

Yes, the game feels short compared to original for some reason. I finished it in 15 hours while taking my time. I think I spent like 50 hours in original one 30 years ago when I was a kid. It also feels they cut out some content??

For todays standards it IS very short, I'd love to see more exploration in Tay at least. Thinking of making my own puzzle game at some point using Riven's style...

Depends on how quickly you figure out the puzzles.

Now you've done it. You've gone and made Atrus sad again. Hasnt he been through enough?

I got the same impression. The notion is probably that all the endings are legitimate endings, so to speak. Which is why it forces you to watch the credits in full for all of them, so you can ruminate on the consequences of your choices.
