The Spectrum Retreat: Redux

Welcome to The Penrose. Service is impeccable and the rooms are immaculate. You’re its most valued guest, but you can’t remember checking in.

The Spectrum Retreat: Redux is a first-person puzzle thriller created by Dan Smith, Winner of the 2016 BAFTA Young Game Designer Award.

You are Alex. You awaken inside The Penrose, an unsettling art-deco hotel cut off from the outside world. Its corridors are quiet, its staff endlessly attentive, and each day follows a familiar routine. Guided by the voice of a mysterious stranger, you begin searching for the truth about why you are here.

Your escape hinges on solving The Spectrum Retreat’s series of intricate logic and spatial challenges. Absorb and swap colours to slip through security barriers, redirect energy, manipulate your surroundings and rethink the rules of each space. But every puzzle solved brings you closer to something The Penrose would rather keep hidden.

Beneath the hotel’s facade lies a story of memory and grief. You’ll need to decide whether some realities are better left undisturbed.
