Well, "new" is a bit inaccurate. It's a remaster/remake of the
original 1997 adventure classic. But it's a bit more than the usual
"hey, let's upscale the textures and call it a day" work a lot of
remakes get --the game jumps from the tile-stepping of the original to
a fully 3D-rendered world where you can explore every nook and cranny,
similar to "RealMyst"--, and it's been nearly thirty years since the
last time the game saw a release, so it FEELS a lot more like a "new"
game than a lot of its competitors.

It's still "Riven" though

Exactly. That "place the marbles" puzzle was basically for people on the
spectrum, not neurotypical people.
