The worlds needs more joy, now more than ever, and Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times seems to pushing in that direction with its mix of relaxed exploration and puzzles, all presented in gorgeous 2.D fashion.
This “mystical puzzle-adventure” is being published by Yogscast Games and developed by SlugGlove. At the time of writing, it’s only set to launch on Steam, but we have a date: March 19, 2026. Watch the latest trailer below:
“Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is a semi-open world puzzle adventure where you play as a loud-mouthed, hot-headed mage trying to figure out why everyone has disappeared. With 40 magical runes to combine however you want, every challenge is an opportunity to create your own solution.”
We already know the world is divided in 14 different areas, so this is no quick jaunt, and SlugGlove is promising a massive amount of possible permutations of spells which enable the player to figure out puzzles in several ways.
“As players begin uncovering the mystery of the vanished world and help bring it back to life, they witness how Rhell’s character evolves based on her interactions with the NPCs met along the way. The freedom to explore, invent, and creatively solve puzzles will give players a sense of connection to both the game’s narrative and Rhell’s journey of discovery.”
If you’re liking how Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times looks and sounds, the good news is that you can also try it for yourself now! An updated demo has been uploaded to Steam, ready for players to check out the lovely adventure well ahead of launch.
