12 itemsAbout the Game
Solve Puzzles
Use your color changing staff to solve challenging puzzles. Carry the lessons you learn from each puzzle throughout the game.
Explore The World
Unlock new areas of the hub world and gain access to new puzzle mechanics! You'll learn to use the color changers, teleporters, circuits and more.
Chat With Locals
Some inhabitants want to help you solve the puzzles! Some would rather you left the puzzles alone.
Undo Your Mistakes, Control Time
You can undo any mistake with the press of a button, and you can rewind, pause, or fast-forward time to suit your needs. Way of Rhea has hard puzzles, but forgiving mechanics--no combat or platforming challenges here.
End Game
The difficulty builds over time. Use everything you've learned to beat the challenging end game!
Play On Steam Deck!

Aspect Ratios
The game is currently letter-boxed on non 16:9 aspect ratio monitors. It's tricky to get this right for a 2D game--if we just allow arbitrary aspect ratios, then the camera will point outside the level bounds, or reveal secrets or puzzle elements you're not supposed to see yet.
I'm not super happy about that. If the game does well enough I may be able to create a patch down the line where I do a pass over each puzzle and make custom camera frames for a few more common aspect ratios, but I can't make any promises right now!
