Buy The Golden Retreat PC key

The Golden Retreat is a psychological horror walking simulator in which you play a bartender trying to leave an art deco-style hotel after a night shift. The elevator keeps returning you to the 9th floor. To descend, you must identify paranormal anomalies and choose the correct elevator; interacting with objects is possible but not required to spot what has changed.

Find the anomalies

Anomalies range from small changes, such as a rotated object, to more noticeable disturbances, including some that may try to kill you. They become harder to identify as you progress toward the lobby. The game presents random anomalies, and not every one can appear on every floor.

A collection records the anomalies you have seen. Finding them all can take repeated play, as their appearances are random. Play time is about 30–90 minutes, depending in part on which anomalies appear.

Progress and endings

The game saves your current floor, mistakes, spoken monologues and discovered anomalies. It also has a second ending. Several settings can be adjusted, including graphics, VSync, window mode, resolution, resolution scale, view sensitivity, head-bobbing, depth of field, master volume and brightness.
