Secrets of Raetikon will shortly launch on Early Access and Humble Bundle, with a launch discount of 25% off. The indie bird flight game is still in development, with an Indiegogo campaign to raise further funds currently ongoing.
Raetikon takes place in the Alps, where various animals co-exist in the ruins of an ancient civilisation. In an official press release, developers Broken Rules described the current state of the game.
Secrets of Rætikon is launching as Open Alpha and is not content complete yet. The current version includes a single player campaign featuring seven different kinds of animals that build an emergent ecosystem. Everthing is alive and the whole world of Secrets of Rætikon adheres to the laws of physics. There are mysteries to uncover, animal kings to meet and runes to decipher. The final secret, though, is not included yet.
Broken Rules hope to launch the completed game in the first quarter of 2014, but want to ensure that the game is polished and refined before they commit to a release date.
First we want to engage with the community, to get feedback and to make sure that the game is running stable on all configurations. We want to release Secrets of Rætikon when it is done, but we need to finance the last stretch of development. That is the reason why we're launching on Early Access.
