Is it still worth playing?

Cyan Productions' 1997 adventure game for Mac OS and Windows, the sequel to Myst. Having rescued Atrus, you are enlisted by him to free his wife from his power hungry father, Gehn, on the Age of Riven, a world falling apart under Gehn's rule. It is a first person point and click adventure: you explore environments shown through computer generated stills, using clicks to move or to manipulate objects. By operating mechanical contraptions and deciphering codes and symbols, you can eventually reach the vaguely explained goal. The cursor changes shape to show what a click will do. An optional Zip Mode lets you skip to areas already explored, but you may miss important clues. A vaguely explained goal and cursors that tell you what a click will do still make exploring each place a matter of observing.
