Secret of Raetikon Steam Early Access
January 6, in the year of
our Lord 2014 -- Remember flying as a bird, exploring
an open world! Secrets of Rætikon is launching on Steam Early
Access on January 7th at 2pm PST. A DRM-free version of the game
is launching on the Humble Store at the same time. The launch
price is $9.99 (£6.99, €8.99). There's a 25% launch discount
during the first week on both platforms. Secrets of Rætikon runs
on Windows, Mac and Linux. Included with the game is a level
editor that allows to transform the whole game or even build a
new one and share it via Steam Workshop.
OPEN ALPHA
Secrets of Rætikon is launching as Open Alpha and is not content
complete yet. The current version includes a single player
campaign featuring seven different kinds of animals that build
an emergent ecosystem. Everthing is alive and the whole world of
Secrets of Rætikon adheres to the laws of physics. There are
mysteries to uncover, animal kings to meet and runes to
decipher. The final secret, though, is not included yet.
WHY EARLY ACCESS
We are planning to launch the finished games at the end of
Q1/2014. This being an open alpha, the release date is not set
in stone, though. First we want to engage with the community, to
get feedback and to make sure that the game is running stable on
all configurations. We want to release Secrets of Rætikon when
it is done, but we need to finance the last stretch of
development. That is the reason why we're launching on Early
Access.
