Relooted reclaims stolen artifacts through puzzle-like heists

Relooted casts players as a crew that breaks into Western museums to take back African artifacts locked away after the Transatlantic Returns Treaty. In the game’s late-21st-century setting, museums exploit a loophole that forces only items on display to be returned, so institutions stash the rest in storage.

Rather than wait for bureaucracy, Nomali and her team move to repatriate pieces themselves. You control Nomali, a former parkour specialist, and recruit allies such as Cryptic, a teenage hacker, and Ndedi, a nimble acrobat. Levels play like puzzles: scout sites with a drone, plan routes, disable robot guards, reposition objects and place teammates to clear an escape.

The game treats its in-world artifacts as real pieces of history — sometimes even human remains — and uses objects like Benin Bronzes, the Bangwa Queen statue and an Ejaghaw Headdress to argue these items belong with their people, not behind glass.
