About Ryder
Ryder is an open-world puzzle adventure in which you explore a low-poly world, bond with creatures and use their abilities to solve puzzles. You play as a Ryder, an ethereal being who can inhabit living creatures through bonding. Your task is to restore the souls of creatures hidden away long ago and climb Sanguine Mountain.
Restore the creatures
Each creature’s soul is held behind a Sacred Site puzzle. Retrieve orbs from within the puzzle area and use them to reach the Sacred Site, switching between creatures in your party in the right sequence. Completing a Sacred Site returns that creature to the wild.
You can bond with over 60 creatures and collect 300, including special variants, to fill out your Bestiary. Each creature has abilities and traits that can help solve puzzles, but their size and weight also matter. Some can fit through small gaps to reach hidden areas, while heavier creatures can activate pressure plates. Abilities include wind jumping, teleportation flowers and freezing objects.
Explore the regions
The world has four colorful regions filled with distinctive creatures, collectibles and secrets. After exploring them, you make a final climb to the summit of Sanguine Mountain, where your destiny awaits.
Puzzle features
The game contains more than 100 puzzles that call for strategic combinations of creatures and abilities. You can toggle camera views for a clearer look at puzzles or activate a puzzle visualizer, which briefly draws connections between important elements on screen.
