About The Game
Explore the world as Reynald Fox, an archeologist on an expedition to recover a set of ancient, cursed artifacts: The Golden Scarabs. Discover new worlds, solve puzzles, dig underground, and defeat cursed creatures as you attempt to restore nature to its original splendour in this whimsical puzzle-adventure game!
Game’s History
Reynald’s Expedition started as a weekend game jam game titled “Tricky Trot” based on the theme of using a single mechanic for multiple purposes.
It was a simple game where digging was the key mechanic and you had to solve a string of puzzles by using your digging drill to break walls, attack, and dig to swap between the underground and above-ground layers of the puzzle boards. As we approached the end of the jam, we quickly realized that the concept had a lot more potential and decided to continue its development to turn it into a full title.
