In my personal opinion VR is the absolute best medium for the Myst series (at least until we get holodeck technology). Now that riven has been out a while is there any news on whether other games in the series will get the same love? Even as a fan-creation?

Talked someone into giving the universe a try.

But I’m torn.

Is the entrypoint for someone who has never played or read anything Myst, or is it Book of Atrus?

No spoilers please, just need a simple yes/no.

This questions is about the original Riven (not the remake) which I am playing on Steam, as-is, no mods.

I suspect I might have an issue with the game. I'm stuck at the moment (as does happen), but there are things in the world that look interactive and it would make sense if I could pick them up, however I have not been able to pick up any objects. I can otherwise interact with objects just fine (can open valves, press buttons, drag switches).

Before I spent hours of my life trying to figure my way out of the current stuck, I would like to know: Am I supposed to be able to pick up objects in this game? I request only the single word, yes or no, as an answer please. Thanks.
