Panta Rhei

Panta Rhei is an adventure roguelite about Phi, a Guardian of Time exiled in the Garden of Past since the Great Cataclysm. After spending eons tending the garden in isolation and neglecting their duties, Phi leaves their sanctuary when a chaotic force threatens to tear apart the flow of time. They journey through the Realm of Time, confront shadows of the past and embrace their origins to save their home.

Control time

Phi can manipulate time to change the environment, clear paths and solve clockwork puzzles. In combat, Phi can revert their own recent moves to make them more effective or recover from lethal mistakes. Time manipulation is woven into combat, puzzle-solving and exploration, with melee combos and positioning central to fights.

Explore the realm

Each location in the Realm of Time has its own challenges and secrets. You uncover more of the world by completing side quests and cleansing it, and can permanently alter it to gain advantages in future runs. You also gather and combine items to craft strategies, experimenting with different combinations of powers and modifiers in each run.

Tend the garden

Tending to the Garden of Past helps maximise your chances in future runs. The story treats time as a valuable resource: it is tied to Phi’s life and purpose, while also being non-linear and something Phi can control and shape.
