Solve puzzles, manage resources, and face relentless enemies
Retrieval is an adventure game. It is an intense survival horror action-adventure game that takes players on a haunting journey through a retrofuturistic world. The story follows Hana Loshe, the commander of a research team stranded on the distant planet Ryhalian. As Hana, players must navigate a mysterious and decayed underground subway base, unraveling terrifying secrets and surviving relentless challenges at every turn.

Step into the darkness
In Retrieval, the retrofuturistic environment of Ryhalian is brought to life through detailed visuals powered by NVIDIA technology, with dark and eerie corridors, desolate landscapes, and haunting sound design. This creates an oppressive atmosphere that pulls players into the narrative, adding to the tension and fear. The gameplay focuses on exploration, resource management, and survival. Players must solve environmental puzzles, collect resources, and battle terrifying enemies.
The combat system is intense, with limited resources forcing players to choose between fight or flight. Each encounter with the unknown feels dangerous and suspenseful, keeping players constantly on guard. As Hana uncovers the secrets of the base and the fate of her missing team members, she faces not only external threats but internal conflicts. The narrative is also filled with unexpected twists as well.
However, the slow pacing may not appeal to players looking for fast-action gameplay. Limited resources can lead to frustrating encounters, especially for casual players. Combat can feel repetitive over time due to the limited weapon options. Puzzle difficulty may vary, with some puzzles feeling too easy or too difficult. Additionally, the game’s heavy reliance on mature themes may not appeal to all players.
