Nightmarish story in spaceīut it shouldn’t sound as if Returnal has nothing to offer apart from the demanding action. Housemarque even goes a step further by incorporating a number of surreal and chilling PT-esque first-person segments where Selene must explore her memories and nightmares.
Selene is able to find logs left by her former selves, which slowly starts to peel back the layers of Returnal’s central questions. Of course, this all serves to contextualize the fact that this is a roguelike and built on the idea of repeated runs through the same environments, but it’s also a clever storytelling device. As she emerges from her ship and tries to locate the origin of a mysterious signal, things start to get very weird and time-loopy very quickly.
Returnal tells the story of Selene Vassos after she crash-lands on an alien planet called Atropos.
