Additional Comments

Runs great in a stock 32-bit prefix with no winetricksery required.

Riven is a point-and-click adventure games composed of still images and video. There seems to be a small glitch that give the video elements a faint green tint. This happens on Windows 10 as well. It's most likely an issued with ScummVM, which is included in the GOG re-release to allow this 1997 game to run on modern systems. It doesn't interfere with gameplay.

A blank "ScummVM Status" window appears when running via Wine but not on Windows 10. It's harmless; so I'm not deducting a rating for it.
