The Beta has landed!

This is the biggest update to Secrets of Rætikon we've ever made and it's also one of the last. The journey into the Rætikon is coming to a close as we're entering the Beta phase. This is exciting! New secrets have been added, including the fabled statues of the raetic deities. We've also added fish and a new game menu. And finally your bird man has the ability to scream!
