Our take on The Spectrum Retreat
The defining detail is its first-person investigation through a near-future art-deco hotel, with color-based puzzles and physics challenges gradually revealing the mystery behind the stay.
What is The Spectrum Retreat?
The Spectrum Retreat is a first-person puzzle game set in The Penrose, a near-future hotel that serves as a quiet but unsettling refuge.
After waking inside the hotel, players explore its art-deco corridors and guest rooms while investigating the circumstances of the stay. Progress centers on color-based puzzles and challenges involving physics. As exploration continues, the hotel reveals mysteries connected to both The Penrose and the player character’s situation.
