Description             : As the sun sets on the horizon, the last rays of light fade in the sky, like dancing ambers of a half-forgotten memory.
This place feels strange yet familiar in a nostalgic way. But you know not all memories are good, so steel yourself for the journey ahead.

Info:

Welcome to the Neon Circles of Hell! Nostalgic Entropy: Neo-Retro is a large non-linear Vaporwave map where the architecture twists and turns into familiar structures of a future that wasn't meant to be.
 
 - Experience a variety of combat scenarios, from classic coincidental encounters to gimmicky mini-game-like ones;
- All roads lead to your destiny: There are several options to reach your objective; 
- Only one of two keys is needed to exit; 
- Sunset Violence means hard. If you are having a bad time, don't be discouraged to lower the difficulty;
- Exploration is highly rewarded: More resources and challenges await you behind these sunset-kissed walls.

--------------------------------------------------
