Let's Play: Riven - part 4 - The rotating room goes round and round...

We solve the infamous rotating room puzzle, and venture into the giant golden dome.

I accidentally disabled cursor capture, so the cursor is not visible in parts 3, 4 and 5. I apologise for this.

Where are you from originally? I can't quite place your accent.

Did you ever notice that when you have rotated the room twice for the first time and then go downstairs where the open door is now, that there are faces of three children on the right wall? Unfortunately you skip this to fast, but if one halts the video at 2:28 you can see it. It really scared me when I saw it for the first time.

@Brettkatze Good catch! The designers drew hidden faces into much of the scenery to unsettle players and give them a feeling of being watched.

If I never hear the words "rotating room" again in my life it'll be too soon

The atmosphere and graphics in this game are simply incredible, among other things. Hard to believe it was made in 1997 - it looks better than most games made now, imo.

I love the soundtrack for this game.

@Brettkatze WOAH

I noticed that when you spin the room the pillars remain in the same position (the pictures behind the "bugs" are in the same position)

Can someone explain that? Is it a bug?
