Our take on Through Abandoned: The Refuge
The point-and-click structure centers progress on investigation, item use, and puzzles, leaving little room for action-driven play. Its story also continues an existing series, so the Refuge is one stage in a larger narrative rather than a separate adventure.
What is Through Abandoned: The Refuge?
This third installment in the Through Abandoned story follows the search for a missing twin brother through the Refuge, a place hidden between parallel worlds.
The game uses a classic point-and-click format. Players investigate the location, look for objects, work out how to use them, solve puzzles, and play mini-games while trying to escape. The story continues the series’ account of parallel worlds, with the Refuge as its new setting.
