Relooted, an innovative heist game, invites players to envision reclaiming looted treasures in a dystopian 2099. The game's narrative centers on Prof Grace and her grandchildren, Nomali and Trevor, who team up to recover historical artefacts that were plundered during colonial times. Unlike typical heist stories, the characters aren't criminals and are driven not by greed but by a desire to restore cultural integrity. While evading high-tech security, players leverage their unique abilities — from parkour skills to hacking — to achieve their goals and learn about the significance of each object they seek. With a focus on awareness, Relooted highlights the ongoing conversation about cultural repatriation, making it a unique blend of entertainment and education.
