'''Retrocadia''' is a [[:Category:Recognized Myths|recognized myth]] which is best known for their myth game of the same name. They gained some popularity after a few videos on YouTube about their myth were made. Most YouTubers would describe Retrocadia as one of the most underrated myths ever. 

Their games are also very unique compared to most myth games, because it focused more on scripting rather than building, this however doesn't mean the building quality was low as it wasn't bad at all and thanks to Retrocadia's big focus on scripting cool mechanics it made them stand out a lot more amongst the myth community, giving them a massive increase in recognition in a very short amount of time, around early 2023 they were pretty unknown but it was during around late 2023 that they started getting recognition due to videos about them spreading around.

==Biography==
The story of Retrocadia remains largely unconfirmed, leaving much to the imagination, but the game itself offers intriguing hints that allow players to piece together aspects of their character and life. From what we can gather, Retrocadia appears to be a deeply introverted or possibly even anti-social individual. This is suggested by a key detail within the game: if you attempt to open the door leading outside their room, a message pops up stating, "Going outside is a bad idea." This cryptic warning implies a strong aversion to the outside world, hinting that Retrocadia might be grappling with fears, anxieties, or a profound disconnection from society. However, the reasons behind this reluctance to leave their room remain shrouded in mystery.

In addition to their reclusive nature, it seems that Retrocadia has an intense passion for video games. Their room is starkly minimalist, containing only the essentials: a bed and a computer with a gaming console. This setup suggests that their life revolves almost entirely around gaming, using it perhaps as a means of escape or as their primary source of fulfillment. The fact that the game is centered on these details suggests that there may be more to uncover about Retrocadia’s relationship with the virtual worlds they so deeply immerse themself in. Yet, despite these hints, much about Retrocadia's true story and the reasons for their behavior remain unknown, leaving players to speculate and wonder about the deeper layers of their character.

==History==
Retrocadia’s journey in game development began on January 25th, 2023, when the account bearing the name "Retrocadia" was first created. This marked the initial step in what would soon become a series of mysterious and interconnected games. Just a month later, on February 26th, 2023, Retrocadia (the game) was conceived. Although the exact release date of this game remains uncertain, it is speculated to have been launched sometime between May and July of 2023. This ambiguity only adds to the enigma surrounding Retrocadia and its creator, drawing players deeper into the mystique of the games. 

Retrocadia’s portfolio consists of four distinct games, each contributing a unique element to the overall narrative and experience. The first game to be developed was Betacadia, which was completed on February 20th, 2023. Betacadia laid the foundation for what would come next, offering players an initial taste of the world Retrocadia was beginning to craft. Five days later, on February 25th, 2023, the second game, Asylucadia, was created. Asylucadia expanded on the themes and mechanics introduced in Betacadia, further immersing players in the eerie and compelling universe.

The third game, and arguably the most significant, is Retrocadia itself. Created just one day after Asylucadia, on February 26th, 2023, Retrocadia quickly became the centerpiece of this growing collection. It serves not only as the primary game in Retrocadia’s library but also as the central hub from which the other games can be accessed. This interconnectedness suggests a deliberate design choice, inviting players to see Retrocadia as more than just a standalone experience. Instead, it acts as a gateway to the other titles, enhancing the sense of a cohesive and intricately woven narrative.

The fourth and final game in the series is Officocadia, which was developed a few months later, on May 5th, 2023. Officocadia, like its predecessors, adds another layer to the evolving story and gameplay. However, what sets Retrocadia apart is how these games are accessed. Unlike traditional gaming collections where each title stands independently, Retrocadia's other three games: Betacadia, Asylucadia, and Officocadia, can only be played by launching them through the computer within Retrocadia. This design choice not only deepens the player's immersion in Retrocadia’s world but also reinforces the idea that Retrocadia is the central narrative thread tying all these experiences together.

In essence, while Retrocadia boasts a total of four games, Retrocadia itself is the cornerstone of the entire experience. It acts as both a game and a portal, blurring the lines between individual titles and creating a unified, immersive world that encourages exploration and discovery. This approach makes Retrocadia much more than just a game; it’s a complex and mysterious journey that invites players to delve into its depths, uncovering secrets and connections that bind all four games into a single, enigmatic universe.

==Appearance==
Retrocadia is instantly recognizable by their signature "Retro 3D Glasses" which give them a nostalgic, vintage flair making their appearance a resemblance of Roblox's 2008 era. Their arms are a soft beige, providing a warm contrast to their dark grey torso, which exudes a cool, understated vibe. Their cyan legs add a pop of vibrant color to the ensemble, making them look dynamic and eye-catching. In the past, Retrocadia was also known for sporting a unique t-shirt accessory called "Retro Roblox" enhancing their classic style.
==Personality and Traits ==
The character of Retrocadia remains largely enigmatic, with few concrete details known about them. However, based on their interactions on Discord, it’s clear that Retrocadia communicates with a strong command of grammar, suggesting a level of education or at least a careful attention to detail in how they present themself. Moreover, Retrocadia is notably reserved in their communication. They tend to speak sparingly, and when they do, it’s often to share cryptic teasers or subtle hints about their myth or the myth-based games they're developing. This selective approach to communication adds to the intrigue surrounding them, making every message feel purposeful and leaving much about their character up to speculation.

===[https://www.roblox.com/games/12618656793 Retrocadia]===
Retrocadia is really unique compared to other myth games, the gameplay and mechanics of the game are really well-made, but it focuses more about scripting rather than building, which slows down a lot of updates that are gonna come when Retrocadia will work on the game again. Despite this, Retrocadia is still a really interesting and cool myth.

Retrocadia is Retrocadia's main game, created in February 2023 and released supposedly around May or July, 2023 (this isn't confirmed yet though). Once you join in this game you will find yourself in a small neglected room<ref>''As seen in image 1 of the gallery.''</ref> with a bed, a computer and a door which says "Going outside is a bad idea." if you point your cursor at it. When joining, you'll automatically receive a cartridge called "INTRA Cartridge", which you can insert in the console next to the computer, once inserted the cartridge, the computer will start up and it'll load a file called BETACADIA.exe, to open the game you just have to type in the Input bar<ref>''As seen in image 2 of the gallery.''</ref> "BETACADIA" or "BETACADIA.exe", this will teleport you to Betacadia.
Once you join Betacadia, you'll find yourself inside of a dark room with a giant static monitor<ref>''As seen in image 3 of the gallery.''</ref> and a console, behind you you'll find a cartridge called "Obby Cartridge" which you can pick up and insert in the console, this cartridge will load an obby, once you beat the obby, you'll see another cartridge called "Bruce Cartridge", once you insert it in the console a giant dog called "Bruce"<ref>''As seen in image 4 of the gallery.''</ref> will appear, if you interact with him a dialogue will pop up, if you have a good conversation with Bruce, he will become your friend and will give you the next cartridge which is called "Squares Cartridge", once you insert it a hole will appear which reveals a really hard and time-taking minigame in which you have to collect many orbs while avoiding the yellow squares, once you beat the game you'll receive a new cartridge called "Duck Cartridge" which opens a very easy minigame in which you have to shoot birds, once you got 100 points, you'll get a new cartridge called "Maze Cartridge" which, once inserted, will reveal a maze, it looks small at first, but becomes bigger as you play it, in the maze, after a while, you'll find the last cartridge and that's how you beat Betacadia. 

After you beat Betacadia, you'll get teleported back to your room, this time a new file appeared on your computer called ASYLUCADIA.exe, just like the way to open Betacadia, you have to type "ASYLUCADIA" or "ASYLUCADIA.exe" to load the game, once you're in the game, you'll be locked inside an Isolation room, after a while, two walls will open which reveal the cartridge and the console, the first cartridge is called "Level 1", once you insert the cartridge in the console, the minigame<ref>''As seen in image 5 of the gallery.''</ref> starts and a hole will open which will drop five diamond plate orbs which you'll have to put inside another hole, it has a total of five levels, each of them being harder, but after you beat all of them, you'll get teleported back to your room and get access to a new file called OFFICOCADIA.exe which you need to use to open OFFICOCADIA, I don't think I need to explain how to open it, you already know the drill by now.

Anyway, once you open Officocadia, you'll find yourself inside an interrogation office<ref>''As seen in image 6 of the gallery.''</ref> which will have a table with two chairs, and a small hole in a wall with the computer and console being on it, you'll also have a cartridge which you need to insert inside the console next to the computer, the computer will then ask you some tricky questions, if you answer them all in the right way the room walls will disappear revealing a big white room<ref>''As seen in image 7 of the gallery.''</ref>, if you walk straight in the white room for a while you'll eventually hit an invisible border and you'll be teleported to your room again and will hear a knock from the door, if you point your cursor at the door, it'll prompt a message saying "Who is that knocking?" and when you open the door you'll see a white van and your screen will slowly become black and you'll get teleported in a small room<ref>''As seen in image 8 of the gallery.''</ref> with slate walls and it seems you can't do anything past that point, meaning you probably finally beat Retrocadia.

==Group==

===[https://www.roblox.com/groups/32680260 The Gaian Federation]===
Retrocadia's involvement with The Gaian Federation is unkown, with the exact date of them joining remaining unknown. However, it is believed that shortly after becoming a member, Retrocadia established a group that bears their own name, "Retrocadia." This group has since become an integral part of The Gaian Federation, now operating under its jurisdiction and ownership. The group's association with Retrocadia reflects their significant influence within the Federation. 

Currently, Retrocadia holds the rank of [ RETROCADIA SYSTEM ] within the group, a title that not only aligns with their name but also suggests a deeper connection to the very systems and structures that define the organization. This rank may symbolize their central role in the group's operations or perhaps hint at a broader, more complex identity within The Gaian Federation. As with much of Retrocadia's story, the full significance of their rank and their group's creation remains a subject of speculation and intrigue.

==Relationships==

[[File:P. Priestly, Retrocadia.png|right|270x270px|alt=|PresidentPriestly in Retrocadia's friendlist.]]
Not much is known about PresidentPriestly, aside from the fact that it is another intriguing myth associated with Retrocadia, with its creation dating back to mid-2023. Both PresidentPriestly and Retrocadia are prominent members of the same enigmatic group known as "The Gaian Federation." Within this group, PresidentPriestly holds a distinguished rank as [PRESIDENT], which signifies a high level of authority and importance. Interestingly, PresidentPriestly also features the same distinctive "Retro 3D Glasses" that are famously worn by Retrocadia, reinforcing their connection and shared identity within the mythos. Despite the limited information available, the shared elements between these two myths and their association with The Gaian Federation contribute to a sense of mystery and depth in their collective narrative.

== Theories==
*'''Retrocadia is socially awkward, often stumbling over their words and misreading social cues.'''
**Many people speculate that Retrocadia’s social awkwardness stems from their game spawn being a locked room, which may have limited their social interactions and contributed to their difficulties in navigating social situations.
*'''Retrocadia is addicted to video games, often losing track of time and neglecting other responsibilities'''
**Many people believe Retrocadia's addiction to video games is due to their environment: in their room, apart from a bed, the only other item is a computer, which likely contributes to their excessive gaming.
==Trivia== 

*Retrocadia confirmed in Retrocadia's discord server that Retrocadia wasn't originally a myth, they actually wanted to make a normal VHS styled game and made some mechanics to make the game look like a SNES game.[[File:Retrocadia origin.png|right|467x467px]]
**This would later become the main mechanic used to develop Retrocadia.
*They're the owner of a group called Retrocadia, which seems to be affiliated with another group called The Gaian Federation, both seem to be against the INTRA.exe group.
* Retrocadia seems to be affiliated with another myth called [https://www.roblox.com/users/4698229901 PresidentPriestly], which is also the owner of The Gaian Federation.
*Retrocadia is followed by MythWiki, NotableMyths, Followmyths, MythCatalog and many other small myth following accounts.
