Our take on The Renovator: Origins
The defining premise sends a museum investigation through paintings into another world, connecting each exhibit with its era and creator.
What is The Renovator: Origins?
The Renovator: Origins is a first-person psychological horror game set in a museum connected to a restorer's tragic death.
Playing as his son, search for memorabilia after the museum door closes and strange events begin. Exhibits contain mysteries linked to their eras and creators, and paintings provide access to another world. The investigation combines hidden-object searches, puzzle solving, and clues about the father's death. The setting shifts between the present and the USSR in the 60s. Environmental detail and interactive surroundings shape exploration, while random events can occur during the game. Partial non-linearity allows some parts of the experience to unfold in different ways.
