RetroSpace

RetroSpace is a first-person immersive sim from The Wild Gentlemen, published by Kwalee. It is out now: released October 1, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, with a free demo on Steam since June 11, 2026.

You are the Nameless Man — a janitor aboard Aurora 5, one of the huge city-stations of the AURORA fleet. The station has been swallowed by a sentient black hole. Its corridors are infested with mutants, its systems are jammed, and the ship keeps jumping back and forth between two points in time. You are the only crew member still walking.

Return to a stuck campaign before restarting

Janitors' Patch #2, build 6584, repairs the Dahlia/Machine Brain softlock in existing saves and the Secret Weapon save/load problem in Marco's last quest phase. The later Medical Section hotfix repairs colliders in both timelines. Start with progression checks if one of those symptoms blocked your route.

The save guide explains three auto-saves, three quick saves and Save and Exit on the highest difficulties. PC and Deck settings covers the optional 30 FPS lock.

What this site is

This is an unofficial fan resource. It exists to make RetroSpace's systems legible — what Mutamods™ do to your character, why dying is a mechanic instead of a fail state, how enemy behaviour is meant to be read instead of memorised, and how Aurora 5's shortcuts open up as you push deeper.

Use the guide for the task in front of you: routing, Mutamods, save recovery or launch and platform details.

The three systems that decide your run

How the game wants to be played

Every obstacle is meant to have multiple solutions. Sneak past it, hack it, create a diversion, lure something into a trap, find the hidden route — or fight, and learn what each enemy does before you do.

So this site is organised around systems rather than a linear walkthrough: a room-by-room list would be obsolete the moment you choose the other door. The RetroSpace walkthrough covers route order and milestones instead.

Practising on the demo

The demo is still free on Steam and took two large updates during the demo period. The full game is out now, and the fastest way in is the same: get used to the PDA, the inventory and the wrench before the station gets harder.
