Previously we told you Secrets of Rætikon had come to Linux and was planned a Steam release, well it has now happened!

About
Secrets of Rætikon is an action-focussed exploration game with an open world. Fly through the savage mountains of the Alps and collect parts of ancient machines. The world is rich in interactivity. Trees, rocks, plants and animals – everything is physics based and can be grabbed and dragged around.

Hostile animals protect their habitats and interact with you as well as each other. Use this ecosystem to your advantage: drag a bird of prey to another predator and they attack each other; grab a robin and feed it to a buzzard – it will attack the poor bird instead of you; defend yourself by wielding spiked plants or by pushing foes into thornbushes.

Secrets of Rætikon sports a full-featured level editor. You can edit every level that comes with the game or create all new levels. Levels can be shared over Steam Workshop. There is a physics sandbox that allows you to build toys or even new games. This is the same editor we use to build the game itself. It will be continuously developed for as long as we work on the game.

In the current version, there are bugs and inconsistencies but the main campaign is fully playable. The grand finale of the main campaign is not included yet. The finished game will be released in early 2014.

Current Features
  • Single player campaign 
  • Seven different kinds of animals 
  • An emergent ecosystem influenced by your actions 
  • A living, breathing world where everything is physical 
  • An epic story told in Raetic runes 
  • Huge animal kings and ancient contraptions 
  • Play creatively and solve puzzles the way you want 
  • The full game is editable via the built-in level editor


Planned Features
  • More animals, more challenges, more dangers 
  • The hidden cave of the gods 
  • Achievements and Stats 
  • Easily share your self-designed levels via Steam Workshop 
  • A mind-blowing ending that is the secret of Rætikon
