Staffer Retro: Supernatural Mystery Quest Launches on Steam and Switch
Team Tetrapod and GamePia released the mystery adventure game Staffer Retro: Supernatural Mystery Quest on Steam and Nintendo Switch on July 23, 2026. The game is the second main entry in the Staffer series, following Staffer Case: Supernatural Mystery Adventure. It is set in Sicily a few months after the previous game. The protagonist, Velita Retro, a girl who runs a retro shop, suddenly takes on a large debt and searches for a powerful supernatural tool called a Step to pay it off. The game uses a document-matching deduction system inherited from the first title, but adds a Retro system that lets players overturn established conclusions and explore alternative sides of the truth. The story consists of six episodes with 11 endings and an estimated playtime of about 30 hours. Over 20 characters appear, and the main story is fully voiced in Japanese by 17 voice actors. The standard price is 3,500 yen, with a 10 percent discount on Steam until August 5. A demo is available. The game previously raised roughly 17 million yen through crowdfunding on Tumblbug and Campfire.
