Puzzle Example

The Realm is breaking convention in the point and click adventure genre with it’s streamlined UI, cooperative puzzles, and interesting results if a puzzle is failed. The Realm’s story will unfold as you experience it with a cinematic cut scene at the end of each act, four in all.

So far Szirtes, Ashtiani, and company are a quarter of the way home. If you haven’t yet taken a look, or are on the fence about backing The Realm, rest assured that the experienced leaders and their talented cohorts will create the story driven, puzzle solving, point and click adventure you’ve been waiting for.
