Recoil: Retrograd is a third-person action-adventure game that puts the player in a universe where humans have learned to manipulate time. Humanity, which has been devastated in the future by war and other tragic events, tried to use time travel to go back and change the past in a way where the future wouldn't be so bleak. Unfortunately, power-crazed time travelers screwed everything up, launching the future into a second dark age, where steam-powered vehicles and early 20th century fashion are the norm. The game puts the player in control of another time traveler who is trying and set things right and make the future prosperous.
