The game’s African Futurist aesthetic reimagines Johannesburg as a vibrant hub of resistance, offering a fresh narrative and visual perspective rarely seen in mainstream gaming. Relooted frames theft as an act of restorative justice, with all 70 targets modeled after real artifacts currently held in foreign institutions. The gameplay emphasizes strategic planning, with players scouting locations, solving puzzles, and coordinating team abilities before executing escapes using fluid parkour mechanics. A ticking countdown after securing each artifact raises stakes.
Players may be drawn to Relooted’s socially conscious premise, which educates on real-world issues of cultural appropriation and museum ethics through interactive storytelling.
