Madotsuki's Story: Retrograde

About

Madotsuki's Story: Retrograde is a side-scrolling platformer from Ebriosus Beati that throws you into a world of shifting dreams and deadly puzzles. Navigate labyrinthine levels filled with hazards and enemies while gathering Relics to unlock new areas. The game leans into retro pixel art and tight controls making each jump and dash feel precise. Levels are dense with hidden paths and recurring traps requiring memorization and timing to progress. The challenge here is no joke, levels are designed to test reflexes and patience. With a single community vote it’s already labeled "Intense" which fits given the steep learning curve. Released in 2018 it’s a niche title that mixes exploration with punishing platforming for those who crave a test. The Relic system adds a layer of incentive to revisit stages but doesn’t soften the difficulty much.
