Riventale guides

Riventale is a voxel adventure you play in your browser. Build and craft, cross the riven lands, gather the Torn Pages of the Vael, and face the four Keepers in their temples. Where a number depends on difficulty, the guides give the Medium value.

A new Riventale world at noon, with the First Steps card in the corner reading Gather wood.

How a world unfolds

Riventale has no quest list. Progress follows the materials: each tier of pickaxe opens the next ore, and the ores lead you further from where you woke.
