Over the centuries, artifacts from different corners of the world changed their location, often ending up in places thousands of kilometers away from the locations in which they were created. A similar fate befell artifacts from Africa, which populated the collections of Western museums. The Relooted described here, a production on the borderline of action adventure and puzzle games, allows us to carry out heists aimed at recovering them. The title was developed by Nyamakop, an independent studio from Johannesburg.

Gameplay

In Relooted, we watch the action from the side. The game's driving force is museum heists, which are carried out by a heroine named Nomali. There are 70 real artifacts from Africa with cultural, historical and spiritual significance waiting to be recovered here.

Planning phase

In order to steal a specific artifact from the museum where it is held, we first need to do some reconnaissance, learning about its location, checking security measures, meticulously planning the entire action and preparing an escape route.

In addition, in order to prepare properly, we often also have to solve puzzles, make contact with potential allies to get the necessary help from them, and deploy allies in hot spots. We recruit the latter as we progress, and they are important because they have unique skills that can prove useful.

Action and escape

Once we have everything buttoned up, there is nothing left to do but to proceed with the thievery. At the moment of the theft, a countdown is triggered, and our task is to escape the scene as quickly as possible. Although Nomali runs fast and overcomes obstacles in a deft parkour way, her trail is followed by drones that will stop at nothing to apprehend her along with the stolen item.

The plot of

Relooted takes us to the end of the 21st century. After the Transatlantic Returns Treaty guaranteed the return of artifacts from Western museums to Africa, an amendment was voted in which only those items on public display were to be subject to it. Museums thus began to gradually withdraw antiquities intended for return from display. This led to a bold initiative in which the protagonist, Nomali, and her allies (led by her brother and... her grandmother), decide to reclaim African heritage on their own.
