Retrieval Goes Horribly Wrong

RETRIEVAL

A dark fantasy video-game character runs through a ruined stone corridor, briefly displaying “RETRIEVAL,” then encounters a shield-bearing enemy and is struck in close combat. A rotating skull beneath the gameplay emphasizes the character’s impending death, turning a simple retrieval mission into an absurdly dramatic failure. The clangs and dark music heighten the joke by making the ordinary objective feel like a grim boss battle.
