The Golden Retreat is a compact psychological-horror walking simulator set in an art-deco hotel where you play a bartender trying to leave after a shift. What starts as a simple ride down in the elevator quickly turns into a looping nightmare: you keep returning to the 9th floor and must identify paranormal anomalies and pick the correct elevator to descend. The atmosphere is the game's strength - moody environments, quiet dread, and small visual oddities build tension as you inch closer to the lobby.
