Retro Relics is a passion game made by someone who does enjoy treasure hunting in real life, this new PC title is yet another addition to the long list of cozy games so sit back, relax, and enjoy the hunt. With your trusty Metal Detector, join your forces with local NPCs in the game and take up their requests to search for stuff buried on earth and in many other places. The whole idea of the game is doing something quite mundane that not many people would be able to do in real life due to many reasons. Although, treasure hunting does still remain an accessible hobby in real life if you have time for it.
Retro Relics is a blast from the past
The pixel art style does give it a more cozy and nostalgic look in a way, and since the idea is to search old objects from the past and collect all of them the art style makes total sense. This is based on the hobby of the developer who is actually treasure hunting, and many of the treasures found on the game are treasures he found in real life, so this game is quite a neat way for him to tell us about his experiences with the hobby. Retro Relics is currently sitting at a good discount, 20% to be precise, but you have to be quick if you wanna get your hands on it at this price.
As always indie games on PC provide a ton of variety, and while Steam does have many, including this game, there’s a ton of other storefronts and places to get your hands into more games. Itch.io happens to be yet another place that can be considered a treasure trove of indie titles nobody might be talking about, so maybe you can unearth some amazing games from there too like Retro Relics.
