Retrograde



Retrograde is a world in The End is Nigh which can be accessed from The Split and is followed by The Machine. It is some kind of irradiated city overgrown with plants and Mother, where Slags and Irises can also be found. One of the lower secret areas is flooded and all of the lower secret areas have much more Mother than the regular levels. The theme for Retrograde is a remix of Johannes Brahms's Hungarian Dance.
