RetroSpace offers a huge sci-fi playground for inquisitive space janitors, but I'm not that System Shocked by the tools at your disposal

In my years playing video games, I have ventured through roughly three billion air vents. Possibly even more than the sum of all the dinners I've eaten. Consequently, any game that excites me about opening a locked door and trudging into a narrow passage is doing something right. The new immersive sci-fi sim, RetroSpace, from the Wild Gentlemen, delivers on this promise.

It hides air vents throughout its dilapidated, winding corridors, challenging players to find them. One moment you're strolling along a crumbling corridor, the next you spot a shadow hidden behind pipes, prompting the question: "Can I fit behind there?" As you discover that a shortcut leads to the head engineer's office, you're rewarded with a sense of achievement.

RetroSpace excels at hiding secrets in even the tiniest chambers. Often these secrets are extravagant items like rocket doughnuts or other inventory-consuming debris. The prospect of finding these rewards and pursuing them is a thrilling experience. It's hoped that this excitement will continue throughout the game, perhaps shedding a few of its more apparent influences.
