Yogscast Games has officially unveiled Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times, a bold new puzzle-adventure game that blends exploration, creativity, and a touch of magic. Revealed during the Tiny Teams Festival 2025 (running August 7–14), the title invites players into a whimsical yet mysterious semi-open world where imagination fuels progress.
At its core, Rhell challenges players to craft spells using combinations of runes—or keywords—to solve puzzles. With 40 runes and over 102 million possible spell permutations, no two solutions are ever quite the same. From clearing hazards to unlocking hidden paths, each challenge can be approached in multiple ways, rewarding curiosity and experimentation.
A Journey of Mystery, Magic, and Self-Discovery
Players step into the boots of Rhell, a hot-headed mage on a mission to solve the mysterious disappearance of people across her toon-like world. Accompanied by Beesle, a charming beetle companion who offers hints, Rhell must explore 14 distinct regions, each packed with environmental puzzles, quirky NPCs, and clues that peel back layers of the game’s unfolding narrative.
Your decisions matter—depending on which puzzles you solve and which characters you meet, the story’s outcome can change, offering multiple possible endings.
Freedom to Experiment and Explore
While the story sets the stage, Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times puts players firmly in control. You’re free to roam the world, but your ability to overcome obstacles depends on your growing arsenal of spell combinations. With one to five runes per spell, you’ll encounter:
- Blocked Paths – Disintegrate barriers or teleport past them.
- Hazards – Create protective shields or alter the terrain.
- Movable Objects – Manipulate the environment in inventive ways.
Every puzzle is open-ended, allowing for both straightforward and wildly creative solutions.
Part of Tiny Teams 2025 & Launching in Early 2026
