About Rivage
Rivage places you in the 25th‑century A.R.E.S. space station orbiting the newly discovered planet VESTA. After a mysterious space phenomenon strands Miranda alone, she must piece together fragmented logs, journals, and artifacts left by the vanished crew.
The game blends atmospheric sci‑fi storytelling with logic‑driven puzzles that manipulate gravity, magnetism and time. Using the K9 System to record discoveries, players explore a fully interactable environment, uncovering the hidden cost of humanity’s relentless progress.

Puzzle Design
Every puzzle in Rivage is woven into the narrative, requiring players to repair broken systems, realign mechanisms, and solve challenges involving gravity, magnetism, and time flow. Solutions advance the story rather than merely clearing obstacles.
The design rewards cleverness and persistence, encouraging players to experiment with strange objects and observe how each interaction impacts the station’s environment.
- Observe how altering gravity affects nearby objects before committing.
- Experiment with magnetism on different surfaces to see how each one responds.
