April 2024

Play this game for the narrative and dialogue. The thought-provoking, deeply touching, unique narrative will make you question your own morals. My heart has been broken, my mind has been blown, and I need a moment to regather my senses. Characters and dialogue were 10/10 for getting me invested. I love it when games make me stop for a minute to figure out which dialogue choice I should make. That's how much this game made me care.

The Red Strings Club is a narrative-driven game that delivers a complex and tight story. Its futuristic exploration of themes creates an experience that is profoundly compelling. It has an imposing retro pixel art style, impressive sound design, and a remarkable soundtrack that captures the cyberpunk atmosphere. The gameplay is unique and fairly minimal, and the characters are intricate and captivating. Regardless of having a short runtime, The Red Strings Club is an astounding and engaging game with a lot of thought put into it.

"I'm claiming the right to be unhappy." It reminds me of the quote from the book <Brave New World> after the credits rolled. While this game may not have been the emotional powerhouse I anticipated, it is still a worthwhile experience. Its narrative depth and artistic style create a world that is both familiar and foreign, a place where philosophical musings on the nature of humanity (meaning of life, love etc.) are intertwined with moral choices that demand player's attention. The somber piano melodies and the sound of rain that thread through the game's atmosphere create a sense of melancholy that is both haunting and alluring. The dialogue options in this game are designed to evoke more than just player choice; they encourage moments of reflection. It's in these options or moments of philosophical exploration that the game truly shines, offering players a chance to consider their own place in this digital landscape. Anyway, "I love you so fxxking much." 🍺

The part that I love the most about this game is the world-building. It is realistic and relatable in a good way. The conversations push you to genuinely think about the decisions that you make as a person. The story writing is bold and leaves a lasting impact even after a short period of gameplay. Another part I love is, of course, the bartending. It is simple and engaging enough to complement the main character of the game. Highly recommended.

its such a good game and though i wish we had an option to change fate or even alter the storyline to get an alternate ending, its still very much a great game
