“Games like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim let players explore another world, and in the case of Rhymer, it’s an alien world inhabited by elves. The game is set in a fantasy setting inspired by traditional Scottish ballads and folklore, giving players an immersive experience that blends fantasy and reality.
Rhymer, developed by Signorhaus, is based on a time-old story of an elven hero who must save the land from an evil ruler. Players will be tasked with exploring the world and its folklore-inspired regions to uncover the secrets of the kingdom. As they progress, they will encounter a variety of mythical creatures and allies, all set to stop the nefarious forces that threaten the kingdom.
Throughout the world of Rhymer, players will also find a variety of musical instruments and songs that are based on traditional Scottish ballads. These instruments and songs can be used to craft custom pieces of music that help tell the story of the game. According to Signorhaus, the audio was designed to create an “atmosphere that isn’t just fantasy but carries with it the emotion and mood of the traditional songs”.
Players of Rhymer can expect to be met with a challenge as they battle through dungeon crawls and other enemy encounters. Developers have also announced plans to add in plenty of puzzles and other interactive elements to add some variation to the game’s gameplay.
Rhymer marks a unique combination of science fiction and fantasy that blends traditional Scottish ballads and folklore with alien elves. With its immersive audio and challenging puzzles, Rhymer looks set to be an engaging experience for players who are after something a little bit different.”
