Retrace the Light

Retrace the Light is set in 3323, after humanity and the super AI Primus create the Meta Mirror Project. The project aims to stabilize society and ensure security by repairing the consciousness of people experiencing intense emotional turmoil. You play as Enforcer Decem, who enters Mirrormazes formed from human minds to solve puzzles and confront the powerful entities within them.

Decem and the project

After a mission leaves Decem severely injured and without memories, they begin to rediscover who they are and relearn their abilities as an Enforcer. As Decem lives alongside allies on the Motherboard and ventures into Mirrormazes, conversations and pivotal story decisions reveal more about the Meta Mirror Project. Those decisions influence the story’s multiple endings.

Retrace and combat

The Retrace ability lets you teleport back to locations you have already visited. You can use it to evade enemies, attack from blind spots or solve puzzles. Mirrormazes also contain bosses born from human obsessions, including colossal mechs, foes that obstruct your view and shape-shifting entities. Each has a weakness to discover: analyze its tactics and use Retrace and other skills to counter its attacks.

Modules and Mirrormazes

Defeating bosses earns Primary Modules, while hidden Secondary Modules are scattered throughout the Mirrormazes. You can choose from 7 Primary Modules and their variations, with options focused on counterattacks, raw power or charged attacks, and complement them with over 20 Secondary Modules to shape your combat approach. The Mirrormazes range from ancient ruins to bustling urban panoramas, presented in a soft, vibrant art style.
