Drink your sorrows away in THE RED STRINGS Club.
Camdyn Lashawn is having a crisis. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to grow her follower count on social media. And that’s why she’s currently hanging in front of you, naked, waiting to be fitted with a specialised implant to fix that. You are an android created by the Supercontinent megacorporation – a brand-new model that’s capable of empathy – and your job is making Camdyn happy.
The Red Strings Club is a cyberpunk adventure with multiple playable characters and a focus on dialogue over puzzles and exploration, whether it’s bartender Donovan teasing information out of patrons, hacker Brandeistricking people on the phone with a voice changer, or Akara manipulating emotions with implants.
