Rhem 3: The Secret Library
Rhem 3 , like the first 2 games in the Rhem series, is essentially an
adventure game in the Myst tradition. Puzzles form the basis for all discovery
and further exploration. The builders of Rhem left behind clues to their
civilization in the form of symbols and codes. Their intricate machinery and
pipelines kept their secrets hidden from outsiders. Only by solving their
puzzles and using keen senses of observation and logic can any explorer, such
as yourself, find the way through the series of tunnels, secret passageways
and hidden rooms.
The brothers Zetais and Kales have been trying to explore the ruins and get
further into its depths. They are convinced that there are treasures to be
found and need your help to find them. Your initial task in this 3rd game is
to locate a “black gem” and a “secret library”, both of which are deep within
the compound. The ruins are abandoned and neither brother is on-site. You will
investigate alone with only occasional contact with the explorers by
videophone.
The game is played totally in first person and controlled by mouse, with no
support for keyboard input except for the “ESCape” key. This game uses Flash
technology for motion and features stereo music and sound effects.

| Game Analysis | The player again arrives into the city of RHEM, with a note from Zetais who studied the artifact in RHEM 2: The Cave. Kales uses the note given by the player to unlock a gate leading to the inner area of RHEM. The game's overall plot is not fully revealed until the player comes back to this area after solving a large number of puzzles.As stated in the game's title, in order to solve most of the major puzzles, the player must first find and enter a "hidden library", a jumble of rooms containing roll doors and books on shelves. The books themselves contain hints to solve the other puzzles.The player's goal is to find 10 green crystals scattered throughout RHEM, much like the other two games, in order to unlock the passage to a black crystal. | |
