Ruthless bird versus bird action. Wild animals and the artefacts of a mysterious ancient culture. A game full of challenge and discovery – unlike anything you've played before.

Secrets of Raetikon

You find yourself alone in the mountains of the Alps. Discover strange contraptions, wild animals and the mysteries of an ancient culture. Uncover the Secrets of Rætikon in an atmospheric, open-world 2D game in which you fly like a bird and explore an uncharted world.
Secrets of Rætikon is an action-focussed exploration game with an open world. Fly through the savage mountains of the Alps and collect parts of ancient machines. The world is rich in interactivity. Trees, rocks, plants and animals – everything is physics based and can be grabbed and dragged around.
Hostile animals protect their habitats and interact with you as well as each other. Use this ecosystem to your advantage: drag a bird of prey to another predator and they attack each other; grab a robin and feed it to a buzzard – it will attack the poor bird instead of you; defend yourself by wielding spiked plants or by pushing foes into thornbushes.

Steam Workshop integration

Secrets of Rætikon sports a full-featured level editor. You can edit every level that comes with the game or create all new levels. Levels can be shared over Steam Workshop. There is a physics sandbox that allows you to build toys or even new games. This is the same editor we use to build the game itself. It will be continuously developed for as long as we work on the game.

Alpha 17

This update brings you a brand-new hub area. The machine where you drop the shards was replaced with a much more impressive design. The swamp and the canyon also received new background decorations. The vistas look much more spectacular now, don’t you think?

We’ve also added lots and lots of new sounds. Buzzards scream before attacking. New objects you come across are signified by a attention-directing sound effect. The wind howls dramatically in the canyon and other areas of the game.

Additionally we’ve fixed a lot of small bugs and added a ton of particles and new animations.

We hope you enjoy the update. Here’s the complete list of changes:

+ Rebuilt hub area from the ground up.
+ Updated buzzard head cave sequence.
+ Updated background colors in swamp area and canyon area.
+ Eggs now have collision and breaking sound effects.
+ Added sounds to buzzards and magpies.
+ Added attention sounds when discovering areas or objects.
+ Added wind sound effects at various positions.
+ Music syncs correctly and plays when reloading a save game.
+ Fixed a bug where slivers were lost when changing a level.
+ Fixed creatures pushing health and blue orbs into environment.
+ Polished various areas with more particles and new animations.
