You’ve got 1 new friendship invitation.
Redshirt, a deep-space station sim game that’s a spot-on satire on social media “relationships”, as well as a smart Star Trek parody that should resonate nicely with the series’ fans, is available 40% off today on GOG.com. That’s only $11.99 for the next 24 hours.
Social Networks: The Final Frontier of human privacy and dignity. This is Redshirt, a comedic deep space life sim focusing on online social life of the crew of a space station. Their mission in life: to post the pictures of their odd looking, tentacle waving lunch on their Spacebook profiles, to stalk their crewmates private holograms, to boldly collect more “friends” than anyone collected before. Fair warning: in this game, your character is low-ranked deck hand wearing a red uniform. On a deep space mission. In space. Avoid being put on away teams at all cost! This game is an absolutely bonkers look at life in the future, mixes together strategy, interpersonal conflict, Sims-like professional development–and a fair measure of Machiavellian inter-station politics–into a solid bundle of fun that’s sure to amuse anyone who’s a critic of modern society’s habit of sharing, liking, posting, pinning, plussing, and friending so much that they miss the alien about to eat their face.
Every now and then we see that a game we fell in love with doesn’t quite get the attention we imagined it would from gamers and media alike. A game, that deserves to be featured again. A game that deserves your attention. A game that will bring you lots and lots of fun. A game like Redshirt, now for only $11.99 on GOG.com. The 40% off discount offer will last until Thursday, December 12, at 10:59 GMT.
