Kwalee announced that RetroSpace, a space horror FPS by The Wild Gentlemen, launches October 1 (October 2 Japan time) for PC and consoles. Players control a janitor escaping a station overrun by human-animal-plant hybrids, using stealth, traps, or weapons. Mutamods grant abilities with side effects, and cloning revives the protagonist with degradation.
The Wild Gentlemen's RetroSpace pits a nameless janitor against a space station swallowed by a sentient black hole. Creatures that fuse human, animal, and plant traits roam the halls, and the new trailer shows the protagonist slipping past one in the dark while a robot tries to lock on with a laser sight.
Combat is optional. Players can hide, set traps, or fight head-on, and each enemy has distinct behaviors and weaknesses. Special Mutamods grant mutant abilities for combat and stealth, but powerful effects come with irreversible side effects. Death is not final: the protagonist revives as a clone, though severe degradation from cloning is a risk.
