Publisher indie.io and developer Head West have announced that the open-world survival game Retreat to Enen will launch on October 22 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Retreat to Enen first launched on August 1, 2022 for PC via Steam. In the game, you will “explore, forage, hunt, craft, build, and meditate as you unlock the secrets of Enen and build the retreat of your dreams.”
The game’s details:
Humanity is unrecognizable in the year 3600 CE. Centuries of war, socio-economic strife, and the impending climate catastrophe, put the apex species on the verge of extinction. Turning back from the brink, humans chose a different path, one of healing, peace, and reverence for the ecosystem they are a part of. As Earth heals, every human who reaches adulthood is now tasked with learning how to become one with Nature, on the island of Enen.
Return to Enen focuses on this rite of passage. Arrive at the legendary island to learn how to live in peaceful harmony with nature by surviving on your own, discovering the island’s secrets, and mastering the art of meditation.
