Great, but short.

Great game made in a basement 👏. Finished way too quickly. It's not very difficult, keep clicking away, and you will get there. The nightclub was the best challenge. All said and done, I am looking forward to the 2nd game. I got both in the sale, so happy days. Keep up the good work.

Nice setting, but more like a demo

I like the setting but it's extremely short (an hour or so), so not very demanding.

Thanks, babubi76! We're really glad the world of Retropolis caught your eye, even if the first game's length left you wanting more. That’s a big part of why we made Never Say Goodbye - it's a much deeper and more expansive journey that builds on everything you saw here. We saw you left a review on the sequel as well, so hopefully it brought you the kind of longer deeper experience you looked for.

The Secret of Retropolis

Excellent game. My only criticism is length. Everything else was thoroughly enjoyable! Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much, Natman62! We’re thrilled you had such a great time with The Secret of Retropolis! We hear you on the length, and that’s exactly why we made "Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye" a much bigger adventure. Hope you check it out and enjoy the ride! 😊🚀

Awesome game

I love point and click games, and I love narrative and puzzle style games and this game has all of this. Amazing story, great soundtrack and humour. It gives me nostalgic feelings of point and click games I’ve played on PC but so much more fun in VR. Please keep making these types of games!! I do wish it was longer but heard the sequel is so I’m playing that now :)

Thank you so much, SKNYVR! It’s amazing to hear that Retropolis brought back that classic point-and-click nostalgia but made it even more fun for you in VR—that’s exactly what we hoped to capture!

We totally get wanting more, and it’s awesome that you’re diving into the sequel—it’s a much bigger adventure! Also, since you loved the soundtrack, you might enjoy revisiting the music from both games on all major streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. And if you’re curious about what we’re working on next, join our community—we’d love to have you along for the journey! 😊🎶

Witty and Artful

The voice acting is well done, and there are many moments where you can tell that intention and care has been given. Just that laser pointer from the hands that fits into the world should tell you how considered these devs are! Quite excellent!

Thank you so much, Rattyt! It means a lot to hear that the attention to detail stood out to you—that’s exactly what we strive for. We love crafting a world that feels thoughtful and immersive, so your words truly make our day! If you’re up for more, Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye takes things even further—we’d love for you to experience the next chapter and hear your thoughts!
