The Spectrum Retreat: Redux

Check In to The Penrose Hotel

The Spectrum Retreat: Redux is an atmospheric first-person puzzle thriller set inside The Penrose - an art-deco hotel cut off from the outside world. Unsettlingly quiet corridors make its endlessly attentive android staff seem all the more uncanny. Guided by the voice of a mysterious stranger, you begin to search for the truth of why you’re there.

Your progress hinges on exploring the hotel and completing a series of logic and spatial challenges. You’ll absorb and swap colours to slip through security barriers, redirect energy, and attempt to rethink the rules of each space.
Beneath the hotel's facade lies a story of memory, grief and loss - one that reckons with a family failed by systems meant to protect them. It's a prescient narrative that resonates even more sharply today than it did on release.

Rebuilt for Nintendo Switch 2 

A Redux of the original, including: 

  • Overhauled lighting and reflections - with new volumetric effects, adding even more atmosphere to The Penrose’s extravagant spaces

  • Increased fidelity with HDR support 

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Mouse Controls - precise, tactile aiming for faster, cleaner colour-swapping 

  • HD Rumble 2 and Enhanced 5.1 surround sound

  • Quality-of-life additions - chapter selection, faster traversal, plus performance and gameplay optimisations throughout

Speedrun with ‘Express Checkout’ and mouse controls

Redux also includes Express Checkout, the game's puzzle speedrun mode - now elevated by Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls. Their added precision lets you shave seconds off every stage, rewarding clean lines and quick thinking for anyone chasing the fastest possible run.
