Description

This is a theory about a newly released indie game titled Rusty’s Retirement. Rusty’s Retirement is a Stardew Valley-like idle farming simulator that sits at the bottom of your screen. Beneath its cutesy art style hides some much darker lore.

Ranging from the abundance of livestock fossil littered around for you to revive using biofuel, to the mysterious coordinate at "Patarei 10a" that summons an NPC from Haiku, the Robot, all signs point to the game having a post-apocalyptic setting. What horrific scenario has this world had to endure, and why did all living things die out, except for plants and butterflies? Rusty has a sinister history to hide, and I am here to uncover it!

This video covers the origin of Bulblets, the purpose of the robots, origin of "spare parts" and the giant shiny metal pumpkin, my speculations on the game's backstory, and world-ending events in the past involving desertification, heavy metal pollution of soils, and an all-out global nuclear warfare followed by a nuclear winter that humanity did not survive.
