Retrace The Light

Your path is your weapon. Dash. Retrace. Outmaneuver.

Retrace the Light is a stylish 2.5D sci-fi action-adventure where every step can become part of your next attack, escape, or solution. Use the unique Retrace mechanic to outmaneuver enemies, solve reality-bending puzzles, and journey through a striking AI-controlled future filled with mystery.

You are Decem, an Enforcer inside the Meta Mirror—an AI-controlled realm designed to cleanse humanity’s most dangerous obsessions. But after a mission leaves your memories shattered, the system begins to feel less like salvation and more like a prison.

Explore handcrafted Mirrormazes ranging from ancient ruins to gleaming modern cities, master exhilarating boss fights, unlock customizable combat modules, and uncover the truth buried under the Meta Mirror.
