Grey Box and Tequila Works have released the third developer diary for RiME – the third person action puzzler that made a big splash at E3 some years ago but had since gone quit. Well, the game is back in a big way as it will be releasing on PS4, Xbox One and PC on May 26th, while the Nintendo Switch gets it later this summer.
This new video dives deep into the process of making a puzzle adventure game that’s accessible and intuitive while still feeling fun and rewarding. That’s meant designing environments and challenges to reveal information to the player through the exploration of quieter features like light, sound, perspective, and time rather than simple text prompts. These subtler traits build over the course of the journey to create a deeper sense of personal investment and discovery while traversing the mysterious island your character has awakened upon.
