What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Retro Horror Story is a short survival horror game that players appreciate for its nostalgic PS1-era aesthetic, fun chase sequences, and decent story, though most note it's quite brief and somewhat generic. Common praise centers on the engaging monster encounters and boss fights, while complaints focus on the brevity, technical issues like cursor management, and some audio concerns. Players generally view it as a worthwhile experience for those seeking a quick retro horror fix, particularly at a lower price point.

Retro Horror Story is a short, simple but relatively well made horror game where you must run from a monster while trapped inside a nightmare maze based video game. Pros + Decent Little Story/Dialogue + Intense Running Away From Monster + Not Frustrating To Play + Boss Fights Fun if Basic Cons - A little too generic but not bad for a small dev teams - Quite short Overall Retro Horror Story is a inoffensive horror game, with fun chases, simple puzzles and some good boss battles. For a small dev team it's a good effort 6/10 +3 found this helpful

R.H.S. is a nostalgia trip through memory lane. A creepy, unsettling voyage to a PS1 era of gaming. Absolutely recommend if you love a short but concise game. If you want to check it for yourself, press the link below: https://youtu.be/6nuQFJZ_UnY
Nothing too fancy. Just a simple little horror game that doesn't take very long to complete and I like the art style. The game doesn't really have any setting and I had to unplug my second monitor because the cursor was still active, but it's whatever. Also it sounds like the monster is saying a certain slur whenever it attacks you so maybe keep that in mind.
Love the style! Without giving too much away, I thought I'd out smarted the game but didn't get quite what I expected!
