Publisher Yogscast Games and developer SlugGlove have announced Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The release is slated for early 2026.
Check out the game description:
Craft unique spells by combining magical runes to solve puzzles your way. Transform objects, manipulate time, and uncover the mysteries of a world where everyone vanished, leaving only 12 people behind. Every puzzle has multiple solutions – if you can imagine it, you can probably do it.
Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is a semi-open world adventure-puzzle game where you play as a sharp-tongued, impulsive mage trying to discover why everyone disappeared. With 40 magical runes to combine at will, every challenge is an opportunity to create your own solution.
What if every puzzle had multiple solutions – and you invented half of them?
Begin with 4 runes and collect more as you explore Rhell’s world, using up to 5 in any combination to overcome challenges. Need to hold down two buttons but only have yourself? Duplicate yourself and turn the copy into a weight that permanently holds the switch. Require a vehicle? Cast Life on a rock and use it as your pet cart! Whatever the combo, whatever the solution – the magic is yours to command.
The World Went Silent
Everyone vanished except 12 souls, leaving empty cities and unanswered questions. As Rhell, a sharp-tongued mage, you explore ruins brimming with ancient secrets, decipher mysterious fragments left by predecessors, and slowly piece together the true cause of the calamity. The remaining inhabitants have theories, but you might uncover a truth far stranger than anyone suspected. What begins as a simple mystery becomes something that challenges everything you thought you knew.
Discover Your Own Path
Travel through 9 distinct areas at your own pace – from flooded libraries and sunken cities to volcanic factories and crystal caverns. Each locale tells its own story through environmental details and hidden lore, featuring characters with mysteries to unravel. Some areas connect unexpectedly, rewarding thorough exploration. This world isn’t just filled with puzzles – it IS a puzzle, unfolding deeper the further you delve. Whether pursuing the main plot or detouring after curious details, secrets await around every corner.
Shape Your Story
Choosing to aid people you meet shapes Rhell’s character development. Help lonely souls and watch her grow into someone who genuinely cares. Ignore them completely and she remains the blunt, chatty mage from the start. With multiple endings to discover, let your curiosity and kindness (or lack thereof) guide you.
