ABOUT SECRETS OF RAETIKON
Secrets of Raetikon is an atmospheric, open-world 2D game where
you fly like a bird and explore a uncharted world. As a

mountains of the Alps. Discover strange contraptions, wild
animals and the mysteries of an ancient culture. Your quest is
to uncover the Secrets of Raetikon.
The game is loosely based on the ancient culture of the Raetic
people, who roamed the Alps until being overrun by the Roman
Empire. The Steam version comes with a full-featured level
editor that allows creating mods, new content, or even new games

OFFICIAL BROKEN RULES STATEMENT
"€śWe wanted to create a game with high replay value and thus
the AI and physics are the pillars the gameplay rests upon.
Every animal has a distinct behaviour and all of them react to
each other. Every bush can be uprooted and every branch torn
out. The game is a story-based sandbox in an open world. And
there is in fact a hidden gravity gun."
