Indie studio Chock Hoss has just launched Threkka on the UK App Store, merging the realms of real-world exercise with a gym-building adventure in the mystical world of Liminalia. This innovative fitness-hacking game leverages Apple Health to transform your everyday workouts, be it running, lifting weights, or practicing Pilates, into in-game progress.
In Threkka, you begin your journey alongside Humbert, a Minotaur actor struggling to reclaim his former glory. The once-vibrant Gym Between now lies in ruins, and Humbert is ill-prepared for its Workout Challenges. Your mission? Rebuild the gym by converting your real-world exercise into Sweat, which you can then use to train Humbert and a diverse roster of Champs, each with unique backstories and personal challenges to overcome.
As you progress, you'll enhance the Gym Between by unlocking new equipment, conquering challenges, and attracting more members. Every workout session you log, whether via an Apple Watch, another fitness app, or even a fitness-based RPG, contributes directly to your in-game achievements. Threkka accommodates a variety of workout styles, ensuring that however you choose to stay active, your efforts are rewarded within the game.
Your Champs aren't just workout buddies; they each have their own narrative arcs. Alongside Humbert, you'll encounter Kaiya, a Yurei with a mysterious past, and Wally, a Windigo influencer striving for stardom. As they grow stronger, so do you, creating a symbiotic relationship between your real-world fitness journey and their in-game development.
Threkka operates on fitOS, a unique in-game operating system that manages your Champs, workout data, and even lets you take PhaseTime calls from Liminalia. Expect some guidance (and occasional sarcasm) from Ray the Unicorn, whose navigation skills might leave something to be desired but add a fun twist to your journey.
