«Retrospective» is an adventure game with detective elements in which you play for a Moscow investigator infected with pseudo-smart electronic microchip, with a partial ban on digital technology.
Moscow’s history in the game followed a different path to development. People had realized in advance the dangers of out-of-control digital technologies and, in order to avoid large-scale complications, had imposed restrictions on their development and use.
There is no alternative future in Moscow, no tick-tock, no vacuum robots. As a result, the city does not look exactly like we used to, and one of the most important problems in the city is the activities of smugglers who illegally create and distribute dangerous technologies.
The chief hero, a high-profile investigator, is committed to clandestine surgery, hoping to maintain fast-disturbing vision. Alas for the implantation of the optic nerve, smugglers added something else: a hero of microchip embedded in his head, capable of contact with other technological objects.
TRAILER
COR-FICY
A strange Moscow:
In the game, the city is represented on a map, where the topography of modern Moscow is accurately transmitted, and in the form of the game space that the player explores and which, despite the known streets, looks quite different. An important part of the study is the constant comparison of the players ' familiar areas on the map and what the alternative future transforms them into.Resource-intensive gameplay:
In order to investigate the hero, it is necessary to use an illegal chip that provides him with previously impossible opportunities. At the same time, the regular use of the chip overheats, turning off the vision and consciousness of the hero.The goal of the game is to find a way to deactivate a dangerous chip by continuing to investigate smugglers and obstruct technology traffickers' plans.
The game world is represented by several parts of Moscow that have been influenced by traffickers in prohibited machinery. By examining each of them, you get access to the next one.
MICROCIPA’S CAPACITY
Reading «technology memory»:
Chip allows an in-depth investigation, for example, to play and record recent events recorded on built-in robot cameras.
Technology management:
With a chip, you can connect and change the angle of view of surveillance cameras in areas where you are not expected, or deactivate alert audio columns to prevent detection.The use of a chip causes it to overheat and causes the hero to have visual impairments or complete demobilization. If the chip overheated, the mission would fail.
