RHELL: WARPED WORLDS AND TROUBLED TIMES EXPANDS SPELL CASTING WITH OVER 102 MILLION COMBINATIONS

Game Confirmed for London Games Festival 2026

Bristol, UK – February 12, 2026 – Yogscast Games is thrilled to share more details on Rhell: Warped Words & Troubled Times, ahead of its March 12, 2026, release. Following our first deep dive into the mystical adventure that awaits players, the team now explores another core game feature: spell casting.



In Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times, players must solve puzzles by casting spells made up of “runes” or magical keywords. Rather than offering a predetermined list of spells, the game allows players to experiment with magic. With over 40 unique runes and 102 million possible combinations, creativity is encouraged, making the act of casting spells a discovery instead of execution.

For instance, here are a few of the weird and wonderful combinations on offer. Players can combine ice and smoke to create snow and can cast this spell on Rhell to make her a snowball and roll around, picking up more snow and growing larger as you roll. Also, you can rewind, slow down, or speed up time. Interestingly, if you try to slow down and speedup time in the same spell you'll end up pausing time completely! You can cast a stream of red hot fire magic into a river and transform it completely into lava and much more.

The spell system is designed to intrigue, excite, and surprise players. Spellcasting feels like problem-solving, as runes function as keywords. Each rune has distinct properties and can be combined in unique ways making play feel more intentional and personal. “It is possible that the most exciting spells you cast in Rhell are the ones you stumble upon, and potentially ones we’ve not even discovered,” says game creator Alice Jarratt from SlugGlove. “The system is built to reward experimentation and creativity rather than forcing players to memorise spell formulae.”

Yogscast Games is also proud to announce that Rhell has been selected as one of the indie titles to feature at this year's London Games Festival. Running Monday April 13 through Sunday April 19, developers SlugGlove will be on site to take players through Rhell’s charming and epic adventure.

Developed by SlugGlove, Rhell will be released on Steam on March 12 2026. Keep up-to-date with the latest news and information, visit the Yogscast Games website and follow BlueSky, Instagram, YouTube and the Rhell Discord.
