Our take on Relicta
Instead of centering its science-fiction setting on combat or resource management, Relicta makes gravity and magnetism the primary tools for progression. Its structure pairs environmental puzzles with an investigation, allowing story discovery to sit alongside the route toward safety.
What is Relicta?
Relicta is a first-person puzzle game set on Chandra Base, a deserted facility in the Moon’s terraformed craters.
Play as a physicist who manipulates gravity and magnetism to navigate the base and solve environmental puzzles. The investigation connects physical challenges with clues about an anomaly, orbital politics in the 22nd century, and a threat to the character’s daughter. Players can move directly toward safety or spend time collecting evidence and assembling the wider story. The game includes detailed lunar environments and an original soundtrack shaped around a science-fiction psychological thriller atmosphere.
How Relicta plays
- 01Gravity manipulation
- Change gravitational forces to alter how objects behave while working through environmental puzzles.
- 02Magnetic interactions
- Use magnetic forces together with gravity to create paths through the base and solve obstacles.
- 03Clue-based investigation
- Gather evidence about the Relicta anomaly and piece together events surrounding the lunar facility.
- 04Optional exploration
- Choose between moving quickly toward safety and spending time searching the craters for additional clues.
