What is RetroSpace?
RetroSpace is a disco-punk space horror immersive sim developed by The Wild Gentlemen and published by Kwalee. Players take on the role of an unassuming station janitor aboard the Aurora 5, a colossal research station and colony city-ship that has drifted into a sentient black hole, trapping its sleeping crew inside temporal distortions and cosmic mutations.
A playthrough tasks you with exploring interconnected decks, manipulating lighting, crawling through maintenance vents, and gathering tools. Survival involves balancing stealth evasion against firearm combat, installing biological Mutamods that grant powers with genetic side effects, and managing cloning pods that revive you with physical errors upon death.
