Rivage is a time-loop puzzle game where power forces the reset
Miranda Vigneau wakes aboard the A.R.E.S. space station above the planetary candidate VESTA to find her crew gone and the station behaving oddly. Ominous logs scattered around the facility offer pieces of a mystery you must stitch together as you explore.
Aiding your progress is the K9 system, which lets you lock in certain puzzle solutions so you do not have to repeat them on each run. Despite that convenience, the station has limited power; runs end when the lights go out, and the game treats dwindling power as the real threat rather than an alien or biological menace.
When a run ends, Miranda uses a mysterious arcade machine to restart the loop. The game leans toward a sci‑fi mystery with interpersonal development tied to an absentee crew, rather than playing as pure horror or an existential exploration.
Rivage’s puzzles focus on gravity, magnetism, and the flow of time. It was revealed at the PC Gaming Show, a demo is available on Steam, and the full release is planned for August 13.
