The Spectrum Retreat is a desafiante puzzle in first person in the not too distant future. You’ll wake up in the mysterious The Penrose Hotel, a haunting retreat full of detail where you’ll soon begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding your stay. As we mentioned earlier, this game was released in July 2018, but despite being three years old, its graphics engine is still quite demanding and not all gaming PCs will be able to perform it satisfactorily, especially at high resolution. .
How to get The Spectrum Retreat for PC for free
As usual, this week’s free game can be found in the Epic Games Store, and the method to get it for free and forever is the usual method. You will need to be registered on the platform and you will have two options to access it: if you have Epic Games Launcher installed, simply launch it and you will see that the game is available in the “Free Games” section. Just click on the game and press the “Get” button to make the purchase as if you were buying another game. Until July 8th, you can do it for free.

Just enter the store page, log in and go through the same process you would from the launcher, the game will also be added to your digital games library.
Minimum and recommended system requirements
Next, we’ll list the system requirements you’ll need to run this game; The first two columns (minimum and recommended requirements) are as published by the developer, but the 4K requirements column has been added by us along with our estimates.
| Minimum requirements (1080p @ 30 FPS low settings) | Requisitos recomendados (1080p @ 60 fps high settings) | 4K requirements (4K settings @ 60 FPS max) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | AMD FX-6300 Intel Core i4 3.5 GHz |
AMD FX-8350 Intel Core i5 |
AMD Ryzen 2600 Intel Core i7-8700 |
| RAM memory | 4GB | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Graphic card | AMD Radeon RX550 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti |
AMD Radeon RX 570 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB |
AMD Radeon RX 6700 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 |
| Disk space | 8 GB | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
As you can see, the game is relatively demanding, even taking into account that the minimum requirements are to run it at Full HD resolution and 30 FPS with the low graphics settings; They don’t go too high for the game to run at 1080p and with the high graphics settings, but the requirements increase a bit when talking about 4K resolution at 60 FPS or higher and with everything at maximum, since The Spectrum Retreat is a game. with a scene rich enough in objects, glares and reflections.
Although it is not a very well known game and that it is not very expensive in itself (it costs 12.99 dollars normally), it must be said that it is not very well optimized and that the graphics load that this implies for the PC is quite high, so make no mistake about it as you will need a relatively powerful PC to function properly.
