    Despite some excesses in the levels structure, and the evident low budget, The Spectrum Retreat is a real game design diamond, with a well-structured and engaging narration.

    Dan Smith begins his career with a fusion of walking simulator and a puzzle game that is quite attractive, but can still go deep much more.

    If you enjoy Portal-like puzzles and don't look for an interesting story, The Spectrum Retreat may appeal to you.

    The whole narrative was shallow. The game shows potential, but it is so incohesive and unimpressive that it flounders as a whole.

    It’s a shame that the two sides of The Spectrum Retreat don’t really come together, creating a cohesive narrative adventure filled with engaging puzzles to solve. But even though the Penrose Hotel quickly becomes boring to walk through, there’s still a lot to like – from the art direction to the story and the often-wonderful puzzle design.

    The Spectrum Retreat is a short psychological puzzle game with a subtle but thought-provoking story and comfortably challenging puzzles, although it can be repetitive at times.

    Combining a story-based exploration of a mysterious virtual hotel with an interesting colour-based, Portal-esque puzzler, The Spectrum Retreat doesn’t quite add up to the sum of its disparate parts.

В игре есть сюжет, но он скучен и банален. В игре очень плохой гейм дизайн. Вы эпилептик? Игра доведет вас до приступа сто процентов (постоянные вспышки, мерцающие текстуры(да да, это не глитчи это гейм дизайн такой) резкие смены цветов). Не игра, а нервотрепка сплошная. Брать только бесплатно, но играть не обязательно. Во такой вот токсичный отзыв. Извините, по-другому про плохие игры не могу. Один плюс есть - на ее прохождение нужно всего лишь 6 часов.… Expand
