About This Game Red had grown, she understood what happened, why he always mentioned those words although she couldn't stand watching and being overwhelmed by the old memories all the time. Now that he's dead, it doesn't have to be so anymore... Dear Red is a game based on two choices: Truth or Lie. Each of your choices will lead to a different result. In the game, you are Red, a girl with a plan to look for her mother's murderer to end his life. You have planned this for a long time, but nothing goes as expected when you're facing the one whose neck you long to stab day and night. There are 16 - 17 endings, and some of them are short, some are long. The playtime will be longer or not, it all depends on you and your choices.[Extended Version]- Endings changed- Graphics changed- Bonus content (Digital artbook included)- Gameplay changes 7aa9394dea Title: Dear RED - ExtendedGenre: Indie, RPGDeveloper:Lee SangPublisher:Sometimes YouRelease Date: 12 Apr, 2016 Dear RED - Extended Activation Code [addons] dear red - extended. dear red extended download Let me start off by saying that I finished the game within the first 30 minutes and that my time-counter is higher, because I left it on stand by at some point. Ok, with this as a preface, you'd expect the game to offer quite the experience, especially since it costs 3 euros originally (thankfully got it on sale). Nope, not the case at all.The story is overly simple and just kind of pretends to be a mystery or "deep" to try and make you explore it further. The narration style ruined the story completely for me. Dying over and over again, in order to unvail such simple plot, just doesn't work. I can see what the dev was trying to do with this technique (anyone ever played "Hello? Hell...o?"), but it just seemed lazy.The characters... It is really rare for me, but I could not sympathize with any of them, to save my life. I did not care what would happen to them and when something, indeed, happened, it just left me indifferent.I finished playing the game and I neither liked it nor hated it. Just left thinking that I could have spent my time doing something else.This is, seriously, the first time I have ever considered asking my money back for a game. However it just does not feel right for me to do so. (wrote this review instead.)TL;DR: Don't buy the game, or buy it only, when on sale.. It looks nicely done and the story do seem interesting. Yet I took 10 second (this is NO JOKE) to get my first ending. And yes I red everything. No skipping. The other endings are as easy to gain as the first one and the story is rather confusing. You have to play it several times to understand even a little what's going on. In my first run (the 10 seconds) I didn't even understood in the slightest what was going on.. Terrable game.. PositivVery exciting.Very interesting.Kawaii Pixel Art ^-^ Like a visual novel :3-NegativGame is tooo short.The windows are too tiny.No motivation to play this game ,-,. I got the game out of curiousity in the SALE.But I wouldn't recommend it.It looks nicely done and the story do seem interesting. Yet I took 10 second (this is NO JOKE) to get my first ending.

This game has some really great potential, though it could definitely use some polishing. More than anything else, the game would greatly benefit from some fleshing-out of the characters and backstory. I like how the story is revealed in small pieces, but the pieces don't add up to much of a coherent story in total. I enjoyed the character of Red very much, she was a strong if not slightly psychotic protagonist- but it would be nice to have learned more about her. Perhaps if there were more interactive objects within the game, it would lend a little more to giving you a better idea of her inner thoughts and personality. I love the concept of "truth/lies" and the multitude of ways to get to various endings to the game; though some can be called more of a simple "game over" rather than an actual ending. It was fun to see how many different ways the game could actually end, especially when more elements of the story are introduced. I wish the endings had more of an impact, though, maybe with a cut-scene or more voicework of some kind, or at the very least some kind of title given at the end to differentiate them. I hope that the developer will consider fleshing out the game a bit more, but if not, this is a fine first effort in my opinion.
