Vivere Retro is a psychological survival horror game about the origins of fear.
Vivere Retro
SteamThe deep fear, the old tales, they started a long time ago. Ancient mysteries of the human mind had a reason to exist. And they had a purpose to live on.

It came unexpected, it washed away everything and everyone. The flood. I woke up in a place that's unseen, but I'm alive. I must find my people, or anyone who survived. But the beasts in my way can't be real.

Psychological horror: mythological creatures, ancient horrors, the mysteries of the human mind and one bow with arrows to fight. It's an old tale, where the discovering of the old fears is not only out there in the dangerous world, but in your head too. The voices are telling you various things, they might be scary, but they also warn you of what's to come. The game also tells its story through the thoughts of the protagonist, as well as a narrator speaking throughout the journey.
Survival horror: bow with arrows to stay alive and kill the beasts, dashing mechanics to evade the attacks (dash, boy, dash!), brutally dangerous enemies and bosses. The game is set in an over the shoulder 3rd person camera perspective, letting you be close in action, see your character fighting, using ranged attacks to kill many mythical creatures. This is a full survival horror experience, not only in its combat, but also offering evading mechanics, healing items, environmental storytelling and progression.

The mythological creatures and monsters do not hesitate - everyone needs to eat. Everything is deadly. The sharp feathers of Gamayun. The horrors of Chimera. The wrath of the Thunder God. How could these things exist?
