Introduction
Retaliation is a exploration game with flashbacks, within you have to find object (keys, documents, pictures, etc.) and solve some puzzles in 8 buildings in a town named Verdant Creek.
Each building is marked by a red cross on the map:
  • Town hall: in the bottom middle of the map. This is the big building in front you when you enter the city. This is also where you find the city map, on the board in front of the building.
  • Verdant Creek Medical center: in the southwest of the town
  • St. Margaret's Church: in the northwest of the town
  • Verdant Creek High: in the top middle of the town
  • Murphy's Goods: in the northeast of the town
  • Verdant Creek Police department: in the southeast of the town
  • Drugstore: this building's name does not appear on the map. It is the crossed building just above the Town Hall.
  • Home: the only construction marked by a circle. It is a point of no return. So I recommend you to visit it lastly.

Once you entered a buidling, you won't be able to go back outside while you have not solved it puzzle or triggered all the character's flashbacks/speeches or found all objects.

I'm a French gamer, so if you find some mistakes in the walkthrough, please leave a comment.

Thank you!
Bugs and how to bypass them
The game presents some annoying bugs but nevertheless remains playable. How to bypass these bugs? Here are some pieces of advice below.
I hope they will be fixed.
  • Map bug
    At the start of the Verdant city, you will find a pickable map on the board in front of the Town Hall.
    A bug makes the map lost from your inventory if you enter/exit a building. So, in order to spare you to have to redo all the way to get back it, I put for you the map below (click the picture below to enlarge it).

  • Clipping bug
    Sometimes, you will be stuck by invisible wall on roadside. This is because of the pavement despite its low height. Jump over it by pressing spacebar key (by default).
  • Triggering events bug
    Sometimes, you will see open doors inside buildings but can't pass them, blocked by a invisible wall. This is because you forgot to do something (finding key/clue/object/document etc.) in the same building you are.
    If you follow scrupulously this guide, the invisible wall you encoutered will disappear and you will be able to go further in the game.
1. 1st March, 1996 - 10:17pm
You start in a small van driven by an unknown guy.
Follow the indications given by the game: move your mouse/touchpad and use the zoom (Z by default).
2. The forest and the gas station
Once taked out of the small van, go straight on towards a bench.
Near the bench is a advert and a bloodied handprint.
Interact with the advert by left click.



Take back the path and continue up to the gas station with a flickering lamppost.



Go into the gas station.
On the counter, near an other bloodied handprint is a new readable document.



Go in the back room beyond the counter and take the shining lighter on the table.



Exit the gas station and take the road on the left until you find a blue car.
Follow the big red arrows painted on the ground until you find a giant gate on your left.



Go through this gate to the next chapter.
3. Town Hall
Follow the road until you reach the first buildings.
Go to the big building in front you: this is the Town Hall.
You can take the green-shining paper on the board in front of the Town Hall. You picked up the map of Verdant Creek (this map is currently bugging, please read the bugs section of this walkthrough for more information).



Go into the Town Hall.

When you enter the Town Hall, a painting in front you falls and reveal a figure.
Write it down somewhere if you have a bad memory.



Take the corridor to the right of the fallen painting.
Open the left wooden door immediately after the second corner.
Get into the office (a flashback triggers). Once the flashback over, intercat with the picture on the wall in order to reveal another figure. Write it down or memorize it.



Take back and continue the corridor until you get to a crossroad of corridors.



Get into the first left small office.
Take back the corridor and open door immediately on your left.
Go into the new office and once the flashback is over, interact with the picture on your left.



Take back the corridor then go left along the new corridor until you reach a double door with a digital code panel.
Interact with the picture facing this door and you discover a new figure.



Go near the digital code panel and enter the four figures found previously.



If the digicode is correct, a green light ignites.
Go into the mayor's office and interact with the telephone on the desk and read the document next to the telephone.



Exit the Town Hall.

Go back and continue the corridor and turn left as soon as you can.
Use the hairpin on the door lock and play a very-mini-game.
Click and drag the grey square to the top of the lock in order to unlock the door.



Go into the doctor's office then read the document on the desk.

Go into the Verdant Creek High.

You have to find nine pieces of paper in order to complete a puzzle.

The first piece of paper is on the floor, under a wooden board, in front you as you enter the school.
As you pick up the piece of paper, you can see this is automatically sticked on the wooden board.
