Rext is a turn-based strategy and exploration game where you learn how the world you've been dropped into works as you move through it, slowly grasping the more intricate details of the world and how it functions.
Rext
SteamExploration is something many games take for granted. It's commonplace in today's world for games to provide hand-holding tutorials which guide the player over even the smallest of early-on bumps in the road. Rext is the exact opposite of this. You will likely poison yourself, murder harmless frogs, anger ancient entities of mass destruction make new friends, and much more!
Fight
Rext features a suite of enemies to fight, ranging from simple woodland creatures to nameless deities of times long past. Many of the enemies in Rext feature unique combat mechanics, and optional interactions should you take the time to explore them.
Explore
As you stumble blindly through the woods you'll explore a lore-rich randomly-generated world containing travelers and traders, long-abandoned shrines, and plenty of small interactions which tie into each other. Everything serves a purpose! Every tree, rock, and butterfly can be crushed, burned, ground up, and more often than not turned into some kind of potion. The only way to find out is to experiment!
Craft
Rext features dozens upon dozens of crafting recipes, ranging from creating simple weapons from the environment around you to complex brewing and alchemy. You can create anything from spears to mechanisms of mass destruction to magical weapons and implements.
Discover
The world you're exploring isn't quite as it seems, see how long it takes you to piece together the bigger plot at hand. Every NPC, every item, and every interaction will bring you closer to understanding what's really happened.
