Open gates with colorful orbs and teleport through puzzles in a strange, fantastical world.
Here's an excerpt from Way of Rhea's Steam description:
Way of Rhea is a puzzle game with hard puzzles, but forgiving mechanics. Solve mind bending color puzzles, unlock new areas of a vibrant hub world, chat with townsfolk, and undo any mistake with the press of a button.
Solve challenging puzzles that build off each other—each puzzle is there for a reason.
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.
Some locals want to help you solve the puzzles! Some would rather you stopped.
Undo any mistake with the press of a button. Way of Rhea's focus is on the puzzles--there's no jump, there are no platforming or combat challenges, and any mistakes you make can easily be undone.
You can also pause time if you need time to think, or speed up time if you don't want to wait around for an action to complete.
Valve hasn't reviewed Way of Rhea for the verified program yet, but it runs great on the Steam Deck--I test every build on it!
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!
Future games and beta testing opportunities are announced there, and it's a great place to chat with other players.
