action

Rhem I - The Mysterious Land

The player enters the world of Rhem with a rail vehicle. Once there, however, he finds that he cannot leave Rhem for the time being. Therefore, the player embarks on an exploration tour through the world of Rhem, in the course of which he decrypts the secrets and connections of the world as well as the functionality of unknown devices, discovers secret passages and decrypts a number of codes. Finally, thanks to a message from Kales, the player discovers a possibility to leave the world of Rhem again; before that, however, he must succeed in finding four fragments of a letter written by Kales to his brother Zetais in the world of Rhem.

Rhem II - The Cave

In search of the third missing part of a key that will allow you to penetrate even deeper into the world of Rhem and to open the way into an as yet unknown cave system, in which a mysterious artifact is said to be located, the player roams through the underground world from Rhem bizarre caves and explored the mysterious world. On his journey through the world of caves he comes across an underground city, has to use cave vehicles and solve a number of puzzles, decipher codes, set machines in motion and explore hidden rooms. As he ultimately finds out, he is not alone.

Rhem III - The Secret Library

Kales managed to decipher a drawing on the artifact that the player found in the second part of the series. Deciphering the drawing allows further exploration of the world of Rhem. With a rail vehicle the player travels back to the world of Rhem, where he is expected by Kales. Together, the player and Kales open the portal to the new world, but since it is only open for a few seconds, the player alone has to start the journey into the new world of Rhem. In search of another artifact, a mysterious black crystal, the player must explore the world in front of him. In order to be able to find the crystal at all, however, he has to rely on both clues from the secret library and the help of other characters in the world. Once again, the player has to uncover the secrets of the world during his exploration, find clues and objects, get unknown devices and machines to work and solve some puzzles.

Rhem IV - The Golden Fragments

At the beginning of the game, the player receives the black crystal from Zetais found in part three. With the help of this it is possible for the player to enter the as yet undiscovered part of Rhems. In the course of his exploration, the player discovers a hidden transport system that enables Kales, who has not been able to find a way out of the world of Rhem for several years, to return to his brother. To do this, the player must find parts of a key in the course of his adventure. There are puzzles to be solved again, secrets to be revealed and new paths to be found in the world of Rhem.
