RETRIEVAL is a first-person psychological horror game where you explore a looping house, collect scattered memory fragments, and search extracted keywords in an old computer terminal to uncover a tragic truth.
RETRIEVAL
SteamEnter the Loop
You are trapped in a single, endlessly looping house. Every time you walk through the door, the environment shifts. The lighting changes, the atmosphere grows more oppressive, and reality begins to glitch. Pay attention to your surroundings, as each new loop spawns crucial clues in unexpected places.
Extract the Past
Scattered throughout the shifting rooms are Memory Fragments. Examine these objects closely and read them to extract crucial keywords. These physical fragments appear in chronological order, slowly building the foundation of what happened here.
Search for the Truth
Your only tool to break the cycle is an old desktop computer sitting in the room. Use the keywords you've extracted to search the terminal's database. Because the system limits you to four results per search, you must carefully read unlocked diaries to deduce new, hidden keywords and dive deeper into the system to trigger the next loop.
