Description

Retreat to Enen is a base building simulator and survival game unlike any other. Rather than fight your way to prosperity, you’ll be living off the land in balance with nature. Three vast biomes await you. Explore, forage, hunt, craft, build, and meditate as you unlock the secrets of Enen and build the retreat of your dreams. Unlock and gather over 160 unique items as you explore.

Experience a relaxing and engaging survival game, where you can build a huge home with over 50 unique unlockable building modules and dozens of furniture pieces and decorative items.

  • Gather, craft, and build over 160 distinct items on your journey across the legendary Enen.

  • Map out the island of Enen, forage for food, hunt game, and collect supplies to build a retreat, using over 50 unlockable building modules.

  • Seek out the ancient ruins and find meditation points to learn the secrets of humanity in the 37th century.

  • Roam across three vast, distinct biomes. Dive deep and explore breathtaking underwater environments off tropical beaches.

  • Stalk deer and other game through dense redwood forests and the thick undergrowth.

  • Feel the snow and ice crunch underfoot while seeking ruins in the chilly Arctic.

  • Lay back and stare at the dancing stars, thanks to a complex weather and day/night simulation system.

  • Unlock the secrets of Enen in huge cave systems in each biome.

  • The mediation mechanics have been created in collaboration with licensed mental health specialists in order to provide the most relaxing experience for the player.

  • Meditation points in Retreat to Enen offer breathing exercises and allow players to participate in optional guided meditations IRL.

  • Along with the chance to ponder humanity's fragile relationship with the world it currently inhabits today…

Humanity is unrecognizable in the year 3600 CE. Centuries of war, socio-economic strife, and the impending climate catastrophe, put the apex species on the verge of extinction. Turning back from the brink, humans chose a different path, one of healing, peace, and reverence for the ecosystem they are a part of. As Earth heals, every human who reaches adulthood is now tasked with learning how to become one with Nature. Your tribe has chosen Enen for your adventure.

This is an excellent relaxing game. As long as you don't mind dying a LOT. The food is non existent. Banana trees are useless. Never enough variety to stop going hungry. Takes way way too many resources to get anything

I'm incredibly annoyed and aggravated by this game, I regret buying it. On the surface it looks like a well done polished game, but there are so many stupid decisions I ended up rage quitting and just installing mods.

Not recommended at full price or even half price. This game should still be in Early Access. QUALITY: ~ Graphics & animation along with general audio provided great overall ambiance. ~ Player movement, notably swimming

As a survival game, it looks easy; however, the start is far from it. Those YouTubers who recorded themselves starting were not wrong. Build one thing, get sick die, build another thing, get bitten die, and consume a

Load of QOL missing, Product is still in development (building like green house has no description how it works, you build it, it dose not clear the land inside, and if you want to move, rebuild you lose 50% of mats)
