Product Information

Reminiscent of the style of gameplay seen in Myst and Riven, Reah takes the player on a graphically rich adventure to an alternate time and world. The game features a multi-linear story, multiple endings and more than 150 locations to explore. The story centers on the mysterious disappearance of a scientific colony as the player must investigate and gather clues in an attempt to figure out not only who rules the planet but also why and where the colony has gone. Reah is a puzzle adventure game with exquisitely detailed environments and contains more than 100 puzzles to solve. You play as a bored press correspondent who unwittingly stumbles on a mystery while on assignment to Reah, a less than ideal place to live. As the correspondent, you can't understand why your editor has sent you to Reah or why the assignment is labeled "extremely important." Other than knowing the planet houses a secret military base whose purpose is completely unknown to outsiders, your knowledge of the planet and the reasons for being here are baffling. Near the end of your stay, however, the truth emerges in the form of a revelation by the base commander. You discover that the military is examining a "transfer portal" -- an alien artifact that serves as a gateway to an alternate reality existing on the planet itself. Eager to discover more about this alternate world, you find that the hot desert-like climate there is even worse than that on Reah. While en route to the portal, an alarming situation arises. The portal has become unstable and base personnel are alarmed that it may disappear. Not wanting to miss the chance for a reporter's story of a lifetime, you go through the portal only to have it disappear immediately afterwards. Now trapped in an alternate world where all modern technology ceases to function, you and the other explorers from the original colony must find a way to escape. So begins the real adventure as you start to explore this alternate world and try to uncover the mysteries and secrets you hope will allow you and others to return to the real world of Reah. The task before you becomes one of survival -- a task that can only be completed by interacting with the many unusual inhabitants of this alternate realm while piecing together information, clues, hints and hidden knowledge.
