You play as a young boy who wakes on a mysterious island after a storm. With a fox as a guide, he explores the island and makes his way toward a massive tower and the secrets it holds.
Explore ruins, interact with wildlife, climb and platform through varied areas, and solve environmental puzzles. The puzzles use sound, light and shadow, perspective, and time manipulation; some mechanisms respond to the boy's voice.
The journey is divided into distinct areas with their own settings and gameplay elements. Hidden items and collectibles reward looking beyond the main path and provide more context for the story.
Players often praise RiME's emotional, gradually revealed story, striking environments, and atmospheric soundtrack. Many enjoy its calm exploration and approachable environmental puzzles, while some find the puzzles too easy or unclear, the movement slow, or the story difficult to follow until late in the game. A number of reviews also mention camera or performance problems.
