Relooted: A High-Tech Heist About Reclaiming African Artifacts
Relooted is a thought-provoking puzzle platformer that combines high-stakes heists with a critical narrative about cultural heritage. The game centers around reclaiming 70 real African artifacts from Western collections, which currently hold an estimated 90% of sub-Saharan African cultural heritage. This premise alone makes the game a powerful statement on colonialism and repatriation. In the game, players lead a crew of vigilante-thieves in three-phase heists: scouting, infiltration, and escape. The gameplay trailer showcased impressive parkour elements, including sprinting, vaulting, and sliding under closing security doors—a visual feast for platformer fans. While the concept is ambitious, the execution may face challenges. Will the puzzle mechanics match the game's bold vision? Only time will tell. Still, Relooted offers a fresh perspective on both gaming and cultural restitution. - Unique narrative tied to real-world issues - Clever heist mechanics with parkour elements - Visually stylish and atmospheric Pre wishlist Relooted on Steam for updates.
