You step onto the shores of another world

Before you sprawls an archipelago of misty isles, each scattered with odd contraptions and ancient ruins. Above it all looms a mysterious tower, its dome reflecting the golden glow of an ever-setting sun. 

While most of this curious realm is unknown to you, a few facts are certain:

This place is called Rillem.

You are not alone here.

This world ends in three days, and you are already running out of time...

Rillem is a solo journaling/mapmaking game inspired by ‘90s puzzle games, old ruins, archipelagos, and the end of the world.

During play, the player will explore by moving their piece between cards, flipping them and responding to their prompts. As they uncover strange devices and cryptic clues while searching for the lone figure trapped within Rillem, they will make notes and drawings of their discoveries, creating a record of this world’s final days.

Time is short and Rillem is dying. 

Can you solve its mysteries and escape before everything collapses?
