16 itemsAbout the Game
Retchid is an immersive, atmospheric, and methodically paced First Person Shooter, containing some cosmic horror influences and a pinch of Mesoamerican themes. The game has intense and visceral combat combined with exploration and light puzzle solving.
Retchid is being built by a small, passionate team of Indie developers with over 50 years of combined industry experience working in AAA, who are committed to delivering a fun and engaging game experience.
You're a TEC Engineer from Earth on a mission to a Mining Facility on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The Mining Facility is run by the Terra Excavation Corp (TEC), who have discovered something nefarious deep below Titan's surface.
Their research on this discovery is classified and has been placed into an offline encrypted data module deep within the Mining Facility. Your orders are to retrieve and return the classified research data and the encryption keys and return to Earth.
But, when you arrive on Titan, you realise you’re the only human alive. Fight through deadly enemies across multiple worlds to complete your mission and escape Titan.
Play through over 20 non-linear levels split across 3 episodes, full of atmosphere, exploration, and puzzle solving.
Each level has been hand-crafted to create a unique experience that is reminiscent of level design philosophies from older generation games.
Explore to discover secrets, find collectibles, weapon and suit upgrades, and find PDAs to learn what happened at the TEC Mining facility.
With 10 different weapons at your disposal, you can mix and match weapons to do maximum damage to your enemies.
Each weapon can be upgraded 2-3 times allowing you to use a secondary firing mode, changing the flow of combat. The players suit can also be upgraded with various upgrades, including larger armor capacity and ammo capacity.
