Rita is one smart chicklet, with a knack for solving crosswords and other word puzzles. As she explores the delightful world around her, she’ll collect letters to fill out newspaper pages which progresses and shapes her legacy.
From hopping through light platforming challenges to interacting with endearing characters, Rita's world is full of surprises, warmth, and plenty of a-ha moments. Follow her story across generations as she grows up, meets her grandchicklet, and leaves a lasting legacy.
Engaging Word-Based Puzzles
Solve classic and creative word puzzles, including crosswords, word searches, rebus, anagrams, and more. Use letters Rita finds in the world in order to progress her story.
A Cozy World to Explore
Begin Rita’s adventure in the picturesque town of Aspendale in 1933, filled with secrets, collectables, and quirky characters. Light platforming segments add a touch of adventure, but nothing a little chicklet can’t handle!
Light Metroidvania Mechanics
As Rita solves puzzles, her clever solutions will bring the world to life, transforming the environment in meaningful ways. Watch as ramps appear, bridges repair themselves, trains manifest, time passes, and palm trees grow, revealing exciting new areas just waiting to be explored!
Life Lessons and Memories
Uncover the lessons learned and taught by Rita throughout her life expressed as bite-sized puzzles in a quasi-out-of-this-world experience.
Relaxing Atmosphere
With its cozy art style and soothing soundtrack, Rita offers the perfect escape for puzzle lovers and fans of heartwarming stories alike.
Rita has been nominated in the \"Most Anticipated Game\" category for The 3rd Annual Thinky Awards!
This is quite a thrill and something I never expected. I know it\'s a clich but it really is an honour just to be nominated. If you have a moment then a vote for Rita is much appreciated.
There is also a favourite content creator category! Icely Puzzles and Cracking The Cryptic are nominated. They both played the Rita demo and it was a lot of fun - please support them if you can.
