Reviews

“While Retention doesn't last long it is a worthwhile experience, and you'll need to play through three times to see all the photographs. I found it to be intriguing and engaging during my short time with it.”


“Retention is the only game I have ever seen try to create an experience consisting only of photos, it does so remarkably well, and creates an interesting game out of it.”


“Retention is a stylish staging of hundreds of photos, turning the collection into a character building exercise somewhere between “Memento” and “Choose Your Own Adventure” titles. Can a man be truly defined by frozen moments of his history? Is identity really just a question of perspective?”
