Evaluation

R.I.C.A is a free-to-play single-player adventure game that launched on February 15, 2019. The store description presents it as a self-contained experience with a defined scope: one playable character, a single castle setting, two possible endings, and an estimated 2-hour playtime. There is no mention of additional content, expansions, or ongoing development plans. After launch, the developer released a series of bug fixes through March 8, 2019, addressing puzzle glitches and gameplay issues. A free BGM DLC — the only DLC listed — was released on March 5, 2019. All developer communication ceased after March 8, 2019, and no further updates, announcements, or roadmaps have been published since that date. The game launched as a finished, complete product with no post-launch content cycle. All identified issues were addressed shortly after release, and the developer has not indicated any plans for additional content. The last developer activity on March 8, 2019 effectively marks the end of post-launch support.

About this game



A little girl, inadvertently broke into an abandoned castle, finding her cat that was separated from her. However, she suddenly found out that she seemed to be trapped in this castle. Just as the girl looked for ways to get out of here, she found that she didn't seem to be the only one who came in here...

This castle once belonged to the famous Duke Shewell's family, and it is said that the people in this castle suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago. It is time for you to unlock the hidden secret in this place.



In this game, the character you operate is Hinata, a normal school girl.


(You can see the game trailer and those screenshots.)

Besides Hinata, there are two more characters in this game, and you have to find out them by yourself. Because they are part of this story.



This game is a single player adventure game. All you have to do is to explore the castle, solve various kinds of puzzles, and follow the storyline. It is not particularly a horrific game, and some puzzles are somehow a little bit challenging. So I'm hoping you will enjoy the process of solving puzzles, and also enjoy the story of RICA.


Controls:

Moving: ↑ ↓ ← → ,
Dash: Shift,
Menu: X, Esc,
Enter: Z, Space, Enter,



This game contains two endings, a normal ending and a true ending.
Both endings take the same amount of time to achieve.

Normally it will take you 2 hours to complete one ending, but once you finish it, it will take you less amount of time to finish it again.

The BGM in this game is composed by Seldom Ludious, so please do not republish it to somewhere else.

And finally, hope you guys will enjoy it!!!
