- Rune Records: Bugs! (Not Beesle...) - 3 April 2026
Happy Good Friday folks! Hope everyone who celebrates has some lovely plans for this Easter weekend! And if you don't, hope you've got a great weekend planned anyway! This week on Rune Records, we asked the dev: Tell us about some funny bugs in the game!Because of how Rhell’s systems have so much complexity and weird interactions, it meant that there were A LOT of very very specific odd bugs during development.A very funny early game bug was that with specific combinations with the area spell, duplicate, and destroy, you could very quickly create over 100 dummies and then overload the game. This was due to an oversight with the dummy spawning which meant that you could create dummies faster than they got removed by the system. Then, another glitch I found really funny was that if Rhell stood on an object while its size was being changed, she would sometimes shrink to microscopic sizes!…
- Hotfix 1.4 - 2 April 2026
Hiiiiiii here is a small hotfix for a few minor bugs!! thank you to everyone who pointed these out and to everyone who is enjoying playing rhell!!!
- Rune Records: Favourite Feature - 27 March 2026
Hello Spellcasters, and welcome back to another Rune Record, as promised!This week, we asked Alice to tell us about a feature, rune or mechanic in the game. Read on to see what they had to say!I have alooooott of mechanics that I just loved creating but my all time absolute favourite is the Water rune! In case you never thought to combine Fire and Ice, that is how you access the Water magic effect! Water was a really fun rune to design for a few different reasons. The first being it was the very first ‘combined’ magic effect, this being a rune that is only accessed when you combine other very specific other runes together. Because obviously if you try to make an object fire and also ice it wont work as those two elements cannot exist at the same time, so creating a system to account for this was a really fun workaround. This opened the door for me design wise, because now if two rune co…
- Rune Records: Inspirations! - 20 March 2026
Hello everyone!How has week 1 of Rhell been treating you? Has it been difficult? Easy? Any puzzles got you stumped? Let us know! This week on Rune Records, we asked Alice - What were your inspirations for the game?As everyone who has seen Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times can guess, a HUUUUGE inspiration for me, was the game Scribblenauts! If you're unfamiliar, Scribblenauts was a puzzle game where you could write any word in a book to create it, and then use those creations to solve puzzles. I played so much of the game as a kid and really admired how open the games systems were and how you could solve puzzles in a bunch of different ways.When planning Rhell, I wanted to get this same experience - instead of figuring out a puzzle I wanted players to see a puzzle and think ‘oh, I bet I could do this!’ and then be able to do whatever they thought of! Another big inspiration for me wa…

- Combine 40 runes into your own, extremely broken spells in Paper Mario-style RPG Rhell, out now on PC - 13 March 2026
Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is a colourful puzzle RPG that boasts of over 102,400,000 possible spells, each glued together from 40 collectible magical runes. As ever with such marketing beats, the big number is kind of a lie: the majority of those spells will be functionally indistinguishable, and in any case, you do not need 102,400,000 spells. No, don't spray your Vimto in outrage. You do not need over a hundred million spells. Say it with me: "I did not have 102,400,000 spells before, and was perfectly fulfilled. I am whole. I am enough. I will conquer my base insecurities." There, you are sufficiently composed to watch Rhell's trailer, in which there is sass, sarcasm and some lovely, 4:3 ratio landscapes. 4:3! Now those are numbers you can trust. Read more

Really?)In anticipation of the full launch, we're continuing our Before and After series and showing you what the game looked like from prototype days!─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────When I was first designing Rhell, my initial thoughts were ‘I want to make a game that has a lot of freedom and COMPLEX STUFF you can do.’ I knew I just wanted to make something that would be a fun challenge to make. I had a few early design ideas in my head. At one point, Rhell would have used a 365 calendar system to mirror the real world, and have you solve puzzles across its giant world based on that, like ‘oh this maze in the for…

Following on from last week's before and afters, we're showing off how the NPCs have developed over time!For the vast majority of NPCs in Rhell's world, they do not actually have any concept art! Since I make everything in Rhell entirely by myself, I already have a pretty good idea of what I want the characters to look like in my head before I even draw them. So every time I sit down and try to make concept art, I end up maki…
- Rune Records - Rhell Before and After - 6 February 2026
Hello, spellcasters!We've been chatting with the dev about Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times and asked them some questions we thought you'd find interesting. Welcome to our new series: Rune Records! With each Rune Record, we'll be diving into different aspects of the game's development and design.For our first Rune Record, we asked the dev: Show us some before and afters of the art!There are quite a few of these so we'll be sharing them weekly! Starting off with Rhell herself!Rhell has come a looooooong way since I first designed her! This first sketch of the character that would one day become Rhell was maybe around 5-6 years ago! I had these weird little characters in my head for a while. At the time I was working on a third person movement shooter and I needed a cartoony enough character design that wouldn't look too violent in a cartoony setting running around with toy guns. I c…
