The Commodore Plus/4 has recently received a playable build of Retrogods. Developed by System Syndrome, the title first generated excitement last year after debuting as a preview entry among five competing titles at the prominent Arok party game development competition. In this fresh tease, players control Grágel, a digital wizard who possesses the unique ability to rewind time by eight seconds, as he navigates a collapsing virtual realm. Grágel is joined on his quest by a small mouse companion named Rudin, who specializes in sneaking into tight spaces. Together, the duo must gather scattered runestone pieces to secure their escape while evading An Fuath, a massive, logic-driven Golem boss tasked with wiping out unapproved code.
The game blends deep lore with strategic stealth and clever time-distortion mechanics. Players must use the environment to their advantage, specifically leveraging lightning strikes to manipulate the relentless Golem adversary. While the current release offers a fully playable experience, creator Verona has confirmed that this is not yet the definitive edition. Fans of the plus/4 can look forward to future updates, as the development team is actively working on expanding the project with additional levels, deeper narrative elements, and multiple endings.
