About This Game

Rita is one smart chicklet, with a knack for solving crosswords and other word puzzles. As she explores the delightful world around her, she’ll collect letters to fill out newspaper pages which progresses and shapes her legacy.

From hopping through light platforming challenges to interacting with endearing characters, Rita's world is full of surprises, warmth, and plenty of a-ha moments. Guide her to grandparenthood, meet her grandchicklet, and learn about the loving bond they shared.

Engaging Word-Based Puzzles

Solve classic and creative word puzzles, including crosswords, word searches, rebus, anagrams, and more. Use letters Rita finds in the world in order to progress her story.

A Cozy World to Explore

Begin Rita’s adventure in the picturesque town of Aspendale in 1933, filled with secrets, collectables, and quirky characters. Light platforming segments add a touch of adventure, but nothing a little chicklet can’t handle!

Light Metroidvania Mechanics

As Rita solves puzzles, her clever solutions will bring the world to life, transforming the environment in meaningful ways. Watch as ramps appear, bridges repair themselves, trains manifest, time passes, and palm trees grow, revealing exciting new areas just waiting to be explored!

Life Lessons and Memories

Uncover the lessons learned and taught by Rita throughout her life expressed as bite-sized puzzles in a quasi-out-of-this-world experience.

Relaxing Atmosphere

With its cozy art style and soothing soundtrack, Rita offers the perfect escape for puzzle lovers and fans of heartwarming stories alike.
