Although
there is considerably more than rusty pipes and puzzling machines in what
has done the sucess of Riven, the sequel of Myst, these two features seems
to leave a permanent print in the player's mind, months after they finished
the game. I thought some of you would enjoy the shots I brought back from
a city nearby.

Begin the visit
Displaying plenty of material taken from desafected hydro-electric centrals, Shawinigan offers some interesting picture opportunity for trained eyes - the ones that keep a fond memory of striking textures and omnipresent steam pipes in Riven.
Connectors
Two connectors that used to be part of the central's pipe web. Mind to climb?
Light in the Boiler's pipe!
This huge pipe, one and half the size of a human being, used to convey gallons of furious water from the nearby waterfall to the "turbines" inside the hydro-electric central. Unfortunately, guides did not offer the willing tourists the opportunity to explore further down the tunnel.
Click here to make the wheel turn The speed and volume of the water rushing throught the pipes were constantly monitored in order to maintain constant pressure, and therefore, productin of electric power. If I recall well, this machine was part of the process - and manually activated as you can see. Hope this will be of some inspiration for Cyan... :)
