Alternate Between Two Parallel Universes to Help a Girl Retrieve Her Memories in REHTONA
Now available on Windows and Mac!
CHENGDU, Sichuan Province, China โ Jan. 23, 2019 โ Dot 4 Joyโs REHTONA, a single-player puzzle-platformer featuring parallel universes and a branching narrative is launching today on Steam! With stunning pixel art, complex gameplay, and an endearing protagonist, REHTONA (โANOTHERโ spelled backwards) has plenty to offer puzzle and retro gaming fans alike. The game tells the story of Rehtona โ a girl who is trapped between two contrasting worlds: the Light World, and the Shadow World. After suddenly finding herself alone in the latter, Rehtona must collect โmemory fragmentsโ to find out what happened โ but whenever a complete image is assembled, a memory that doesn’t seem to belong to Rehtona becomes imprinted onto her mind instead … Each level in REHTONA features a complete sequence of puzzles derived from the interactions between the two worlds. Players act in one world and anticipate how it will impact the other world in order to overcome puzzles and find memory fragments. As she painstakingly collects each missing piece by bouncing between two distinct dimensions, Rehtonaโs ultimate quest for the truth may be more than she bargained for โ a shocking revelation about herself โฆ and even reality itself. โThe story and characters in REHTONA were inspired by a curiosity of the unknown and a deep appreciation for the spirit of exploration. Furthermore, the game is a love letter to all those wonderful 16-bit โ and the occasional 32-bit โย 2D platformers that blew our minds when we were kids,โ says Yameng, Game Designer at Dot 4 Joy. โREHTONA can be deceptively simple, though: The corresponding Light and Shadow Worlds play an integral part in every single puzzle โ requiring attention to detail and cunning in order to be solved.โ โIt Was Just an Ordinary Dayโฆ.” As Rehtona attends an event in the plaza, the world as she knows it begins to change without warning โ and another world appears to overlap with reality. Suddenly, Rehtona finds herself alone in the plaza โ and an unfamiliar door appears before her eyes. A weak voice can be heard behind the door โฆ calling her name. Rehtona musters up the courage to open the door, but she can only see a desolate landscape beyond it. Then her own world begins to shatter as she falls into unconsciousness. When she wakes up, she realizes that sheโs still in her own world โ but this world has now become empty and isolated โฆ similar to what she saw on the other side of the door. She then finds a photo lying in front of her house containing a simple yet mysterious message: โFind yourself.โ Key Features- Explore two unique yet interconnected worlds.
