Staffer Retro is a detective adventure that explores past events related to supernatural powers.

Staffer Retro is the 4th title in the Staffer series, a mystery game series developed by Team Tetrapod.
At the heart of the Staffer series lies mana, the phenomenon that binds each story together.
Join Verita on her journey into this mana's past.

The game will clock in at around thirty hours, totaling six episodes, each with endings that split depending on the results of the player's deductions.
Each player will travel alongside protagonist Verita Retro as she crafts her own story using logic and choices. Along the way, you'll find documents relating to supernatural abilities and maps with all sorts of clues left behind.

Combine information from the documents in order to get closer to the truth buried in the past!

A world where supernatural powers exist—

In this world, supernatural powers are called “Skills,”
those who can use them are called “Staffers,”
and the tools that draw out those powers are called “Staffs.”

However, for the protagonist of this story, Verita Retro, this was a world that felt somehow distant.

She is an ordinary Sicilian girl who has taken over the retro shop run by her family  and wishes to live a peaceful life, cherishing her quiet daily routine.
But one day, due to a sudden incident, she finds herself burdened with a debt she cannot possibly handle alone. Her peaceful daily life is turned upside down,  and she sets out on a journey to trace the origins of supernatural powers. Amidst a series of choices, her fate begins to shift dramatically.
