Yogscast Games has shared new details on Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times, offering a deeper look at what players can expect ahead of the game’s March 12, 2026 release on Steam. Developed by SlugGlove, this semi-open world adventure is shaping up to be a slow-burn, mystery-focused journey where discovery and experimentation take center stage.
Set in a realm steeped in ancient magic, Rhell casts players as the titular hero on a quest to restore a vanished world to its former glory. While a handful of core rules are introduced early on, much of the experience is intentionally left unexplained, encouraging players to learn by exploring, observing, and interacting with the unknown.
Rather than relying on traditional quest markers or heavy-handed tutorials, Rhell invites players into a world full of cryptic encounters and unconventional puzzles. Curiosity is constantly rewarded, with moments of discovery unfolding naturally as you poke, prod, and experiment with the environment.
According to creator Alice Jarratt of SlugGlove, magic in Rhell isn’t just a tool — it’s woven into the very fabric of the world. Every location carries echoes of ancient influence, and players are meant to uncover that history organically instead of being told where to go or what to do next.
The game features 14 main areas, each unlocked through puzzle-solving rather than combat or linear progression. Spells are cast using combinations of magical keywords known as runes, creating a system that encourages experimentation. Whether you’re navigating the environment or interacting with NPCs, there’s always a sense that unseen forces are at work.
Beyond the main path, each area hides meaningful secrets, and the choices you make can alter the game’s outcome. This emphasis on player agency helps set Rhell apart from more guided adventure games. There’s no rigid route to follow — instead, you’re dropped into a world that slowly reveals itself the more willing you are to engage with it.
Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times launches March 12, 2026, on Steam. If you’re drawn to atmospheric adventures, magical systems built around experimentation, and worlds that reward patience and curiosity, this is one to keep firmly on your radar. Wishlist it now and prepare to uncover its secrets when it arrives.
