Summary
The STAFFER series is an IP universe project built around the theme of “events that occur in a world where supernatural powers exist.” In this latest installment, STAFFER RETRO, we explore the question: “What is the true origin of mana, the force behind supernatural abilities?”
Game Highlights
ㆍ Created with the goal of expanding the STAFFER universe and presenting an original theme unique to this game.
ㆍ Introduces fresh lore and new settings not seen in previous entries.
ㆍ Offers deep immersion for returning fans and new, intriguing discoveries for first-time players.
Gameplay Overview
STAFFER RETRO features an omnibus structure with 6 unique cases, providing over 30 hours of gameplay. Each case includes two possible endings—one based on truth and the other on deception—resulting in a total of 12 different endings.
During Story Mode, players will encounter moments of doubt or decision, where the [Action Selection UI] appears. Here, they must choose one of three actions: Deduction, Dialogue, or Exploration.
The narrative will branch and unfold differently depending on the chosen action, and in Deduction Mode, specific conditions may dramatically change the story’s direction.
Unlike traditional detective games, where uncovering the truth is the only “correct” path, STAFFER RETRO presents a moral dilemma:
Choosing the truth leads to unhappiness for the protagonist, Berita.
Choosing deception allows Berita to continue living a peaceful life.
Through this process, we aim to continuously challenge players with one essential question:
“Why do we choose the truth?”
Core Philosophy
The central theme of STAFFER RETRO is “choice, and the sacrifice and responsibility that follow.”
Every critical decision demands a narrative consequence or sacrifice, encouraging players to reflect on, “What choice will I make?”
The conflicting situations and dilemmas presented in the game deepen the storytelling, enhancing immersion and elevating the game’s overall quality.
