What it is
Secrets of Rætikon is an action-focused exploration game from Broken Rules, set in an open world among the Alps. Players fly like a bird through the mountains, explore an uncharted environment, and collect parts of ancient machines. The world uses physics-based interactions: trees, rocks, plants, and animals can be grabbed and moved. Hostile animals defend their habitats, and players can use interactions between creatures and the environment to their advantage. Steam features include an integrated level editor, where players can edit included levels or make new ones, plus Steam Workshop sharing. A physics sandbox is also listed for building toys or games. The game supports single-player, achievements, full controller support, custom volume controls, stereo sound, and play without timed input. Listed platforms are Windows, macOS, and Linux.
