RHEM Demo

You may find it difficult to imagine other worlds, but it’s much easier to do so with some visual cues to help you. Hence, video games do a pretty good job of creating the proper atmosphere for an unforgettable experience, especially if every other element works in your favor. Good graphics, smooth controls, and proper gameplay mechanics are a must, otherwise the annoyances mess up your mood.

RHEM is a point-and-click adventure game in which you have to try and understand a very strange world, which follows different rules and it’s bent on being as difficult to navigate as possible. There are secrets and hidden clues everywhere, which makes exploration that much more exciting and challenging at the same time. After a while, you get used to the strangeness and you get to focus on solving the puzzles, in order to return home.

In essence, that is your purpose throughout the game, because the character you play is actually a prisoner in this world, and he wants to get out as quickly as possible. In order to do so, you have to find all the fragments of a letter, which are spread across various levels. However, most of these regions are pretty difficult to reach, because you need to find a way to unlock the path that takes you there.

Part of the game’s charm is created by the weird objects that decorate it, such a maze of steel bridges and a variety of machinery you need to interact with. Because these devices don’t look or function like anything you might have seen, it can take a while to figure out how to use them. Naturally, things get simpler as you manage to reach the later stages, because you get used to the weirdness.

Visually, the game is certainly not a marvel of engineering, but it is quite obvious that a lot of work went into the environments. It can get repetitive from time to time, but some of the scenery is quite memorable. Since everything is pre-rendered and static, the designers took some liberties when it came to architecture, which does indeed look rather impressive.

When it’s all said and done, RHEM may not be as complex as the more notorious titles out there, but it is unique, that’s for sure. Hence, if you are up for something new and you do not mind having to put up with a lot of strange along the way, this may very well provide you with a few hours of excitement.
