Rehla is an RPG game that takes you on a journey all over the Arabian Peninsula, with a role-based combat system that allows you to control the four main characters and use the special abilities of each one to your advantage. Those abilities are also useful for solving puzzles and exploring multiple dungeons inside the game.

Rehla will be available on IOS and Android, and any supported tablets and mobile phones that use these platforms.

Masud(مسعود):

A young man in his twenties. He leaves his Eastern city Al-Ahsa to fulfill a request in his father's will, which takes him on an unintended –but eventful- trip around the Arabian Peninsula.

Sadqa(صدقة):    

A Hijazi dealer from Jeddah. He has a distinctive ability to talk to animals and understand them, his companion is a cat.

Aida(عيضة):

A hunter who belongs to a tribe that resides at Aldahna dunes, and the older brother to Tasbihat. He received a cruel order from his tribe to feed his sister to the beast “Al Samtah” that rules the desert.

The Younger sister of Aida. She had a close relationship with the Elder of the tribe (Alkhathra) which would later get her into trouble. Even after Alkhathra had passed away, Tasbihat could still see her in her dreams and that was understood as a bad omen by the others. Tasbihat was sent away by her tribe into certain death, but going on this journey with her brother and the others might just be her salvation.

After his father passed away, Masud receives the will his father left with the mosque’s Imam. His father mentions that he has a friend in Sadir area in Najd, thousands of kilometers away. Masud ultimately decides to brave the harsh Aldahna dunes elements to honor his father’s last wishes and meet that old friend. On his way, he meets the other characters: Sadqa, Aida and Tasbihat; and come across a lot of other friendly (and not so friendly) faces along the way. Their journey spans the Arabian Peninsula from Najd all the way to Alhijaz, then to Yemen, Oman, and even to the port of Dubai.

Features:

Unique stories based on Arabian Folktales:

Rehla will take you into an authentic world you won’t find in any other RPG about Arabs, while missing none of that delicious touch of RPG fiction. In each chapter, the heroes will play a significant role in the making of stories popular in local folklore, and fight together against mythical creatures that have haunted the nomads and townspeople in times past. How many of these creatures were YOU scared of when you were a kid? 

High quality graphics and stunning visuals:

Besides the 3D character models, Rehla has hundreds of individual high quality artworks that blend seamlessly with the 3D game environment, expressive character sprites in menus and conversations, and story-book style illustrations when something important is going on; all hand crafted by local male and female artists and designers from every region of the country.

Dual language support:

First there was Arabic, then there’s a translation!

Rehla currently supports English and Arabic in full: The dialogue, menus, and environment texts, all the things.

Dungeon system:

Rehla has a nice multi touch control system going on, helping the player explore the world and find new treasure at the tip of their finger. The Dungeons have different puzzles and obstacles which can be surpassed using different ways of thinking, or straight up changing the controllable character to use their strengths to your advantage. Can’t reach that Crystal? Just shoot an arrow into it, or get your pet monkey to hop up there and get it!

Turn-base battle system:

Rehla’s battle system is inspired by classic jrpg games where the player can control all the characters in the field, with careful tactics, you can upgrade weapons or activate special skills to defeat the foes, and use handy items or equip accessories to make your life easier.

Other than the aforementioned dungeons, the multi-touch system can be activated during battle. Cutting wood, planting shields, slashing at the Samtah with your very fingers, and raining arrows from the sky; if you time it right, you might just win by the skin of your teeth!

FAQ:

-How will the game be delivered to me?

The digital code for the game will be sent to you either as a GooglePlay or Appstore code.

-Isn’t that price a little high?

A lot of time, research, programming, art and effort was required to create Rehla. The dialogue had to be right, the stories are based on real folklore that lives in real towns, the characters and environment take tools and experience and creativity to make. A project this big demands a lot of programming, AI work, big game-making engines, and a lot of promotion so that others know, yes, we can make games ourselves, and we just did! 

By supporting us, you are supporting the local game making industry itself. The artists and programmers and storytellers will thank you by making even more games, better art, and even more epic stories!
