About the game
Recall is a deep engine-building and exploration game for 1-4 players from the designers of Revive, where each player leads a unique tribe equipped with a distinct gadget to shape their strategy. Players use keycards to activate action boxes, populate lands, explore ancient ruins, and construct workshops, vaults, and monuments while managing resource cycles through a recall action. With dig sites uncovering ancient civilizations, tech tracks, and pivotal path choices, it's a rich, high-complexity strategic journey with an optional digital companion for cross-game connectivity.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team is excited about Recall's ambitious blend of exploration and tech-tree engine-building, backed by the pedigree of Revive's design team. The variable tribes and gadgets promise strong replayability, and the archived-civilization companion feature is an inventive touch connecting player games together. As a newer, complex release, it will reward strategy gamers willing to dig into its many interlocking systems.
