* ChainOfPeople: Near the beginning of the sunken ruins, Lina winds up losing her balance on a slippery rock in the water and reflexively grabs onto Serene, who then grabs onto Fia when she loses her balance, who in turn grabs onto Cierra for support, and finally grabs onto Ein to stop herself. The end result was all of them taking an unexpected plunge into the water, soaking them completely.

Riviera combines turn-based RPG battle systems with a DatingSim-influenced [[RelationshipValues affection system]], minigame-influenced "[[PressXToNotDie AT screens]]", point-and-click style exploration, and a clever InventoryManagementPuzzle integral to mastering the game. It is considered both the easiest VideoGame/DeptHeaven game and the best entry point to the series, as it explicitly portrays the background conflict between [[OrderVersusChaos Asgard and Niflheim]] that subtly influences all the other episodes.

In addition to the original game and its remakes, there are two spin-off cellphone games available in Japan. There are also [[AudioAdaptation two drama CDs]], both of which provide important background for the characters. Other background information on Riviera and its world can be found in the VideoGame/DeptHeaven canon bible, ''Dept. Heaven Episodes World Guidance''.
