What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“To get feedback from a wider player base. Retchid’s development has already had a large engagement with player feedback and it has helped sculpt a great game, with Early Access it’ll help make the game become even better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is approximately 18 months of Early Access. If anything changes, we’ll reevaluate and update. Our goal is to release the best possible version of the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current state of Early Access version is only Episode 1.

With the full release we plan to add Episode 2 and Episode 3, each containing over 7 levels each, new enemies, weapons, puzzles, and features such as achievements and cloud saves.

Over the course of Early Access, we plan to polish and tune the entire game until release. You’ll gain access to additional game features as soon as they’re available.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We currently have a complete 1/3 of the game available to play.

Most systems are in the game. Episode 1 is the first episode to be available in Early Access it includes 7 levels, 8 enemy types, 5 weapons, and various features such as finding collectibles, upgrades(partially implemented), PDAs.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will remain the same”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will continue to collect player feedback across multiple platforms such as Reddit, Discord, and Twitter, and assess how it fits in to the game.

We are committed to reading and considering all feedback, and will endeavor to respond to it when possible.”

Roadmap

About This Game

Retchid is an immersive, atmospheric, and methodically paced First Person Shooter, containing some cosmic horror influences and a pinch of Mesoamerican themes. The game has intense and visceral combat combined with exploration and light puzzle solving.

Retchid is being built by a small, passionate team of Indie developers with over 50 years of combined industry experience working in AAA, who are committed to delivering a fun and engaging game experience.





You're a TEC Engineer from Earth on a mission to a Mining Facility on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The Mining Facility is run by the Terra Excavation Corp (TEC), who have discovered something nefarious deep below Titan's surface.


Their research on this discovery is classified and has been placed into an offline encrypted data module deep within the Mining Facility. Your orders are to retrieve and return the classified research data and the encryption keys and return to Earth.

But, when you arrive on Titan, you realise you’re the only human alive. Fight through deadly enemies across multiple worlds to complete your mission and escape Titan.




Play through over 20 non-linear levels split across 3 episodes, full of atmosphere, exploration, and puzzle solving.
Each level has been hand-crafted to create a unique experience that is reminiscent of level design philosophies from older generation games.

Explore to discover secrets, find collectibles, weapon and suit upgrades, and find PDAs to learn what happened at the TEC Mining facility.





With 10 different weapons at your disposal, you can mix and match weapons to do maximum damage to your enemies.


Each weapon can be upgraded 2-3 times allowing you to use a secondary firing mode, changing the flow of combat. The players suit can also be upgraded with various upgrades, including larger armor capacity and ammo capacity.



Use the Personal Data Assistant to track various items:

  • Collect TEC employee PDAs to read Emails and Logs about what took place at the facility
  • The equipment tab keeps track of all your weapons and suit upgrades
  • Keep track of your current Primary and Secondary Objectives
  • Various collectibles that are collected in the PDA can be read about
  • All your favourite gameplay stats are tracked and stored in the Stats tab such as kills, player deaths, health packs found, ammo found, etc.
