Red Spider: Vengeance is a Hong Kong noir style visual novel inspired by many hong kong movies, especially Infernal Affairs series and Johnnie To's films.
There are 6 story routes with the different characters(approximately 105,000 words in total).
Yvet grew up as an orphan on the Mainland. She was taken in by a crime syndicate when she was young and trained as an assassin.
She killed many people, but she had her reasons for breaking out of that group. She escaped and married Francis, the leader of the Red Flower Society, an underworld mob that operated in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
One day, Francis was shot in a nightclub, and a doctor said that it was highly unlikely he would regain consciousness.
Yvet takes over his responsibilities and tries to find the person who was behind the shooting, with her bodyguards and a private detective she knew.
Multiple Choices / 6 Routes Total / Approximately 7-8 hours (Just over 1 hour per route)
The narrative of this game is a dedicated homage to numerous classic Hong Kong Noir films. Each character was written with a specific Hong Kong movie star in mind, imagining them to be the actor who would actually portray the role.
Details on which scenes reference which films, and which actors served as inspiration for each character, are all fully explained within the "Cyclopedia" included in the game.

Boring and dull.
Жена сказала, что если на этом обзоре наберётся 10 лайков и 5 наград, то она подарит ящик пива. Мужики, выручайте!
本作是《红蜘蛛》系列的第一作,但在整个《红蜘蛛》系列时间线上相当靠后,仅仅比3代靠前。 作者是一个非常狂热的港片爱好者。 由于是第一作,各方面都只是个起步,因此有种六条路线差不多一模一样的感觉。 导致除了主角之外的角色塑造都有些扁平,这些在后续的作品里改头换面。 本作(初代)可以当成乙游玩,但本系列严格意义来讲不是乙游,真的当乙游可能会雷死99%的乙游玩家。 全系列中恋爱感最高的,最不需要思考理解的就是这一作。 如果真的当乙游,女主角越儿(石蒜)基本肯定是乙游女主的战斗力天花板。而且基本上短时间内不可能有超越这个角色塑造的。 她的塑造在本作其实并不算太完整,仅仅体现了战斗力和强悍。 后续的作品更能体现出她有非常强的判断力、政治操作、为人处世、话术谈判、以及坚持“因果报应”的原则。 这个角色作为一个核心主人公,极具人格魅力。 而且这系列还不是众星捧月的作品,而是个群像剧,主角是需要跟各方势力交涉进退的。 她也让这个游戏获得了日本同人游戏大奖中的最佳女主演。 日语版才会有全程语音,不同语言存档不互通。如果懒得打了,官方的YouTube账号上有本系列的全程录屏。 另外可能有妹子不太能理解为什么女主会对丈夫要死要活,这个答案其实留在2代,且需要一定的理解能力。

"Kırmızı Örümcek" Hong Kong Noir temalı bir Görsel Romandır. Farklı karakterlere sahip 6 hikaye rotası vardır .Türkçe yok malesef.
Red Spider: Vengeance is a gritty, story-driven visual novel that dives deep into the underworld of crime, betrayal, and personal conflict. The writing is sharp and mature, filled with tension and moral ambiguity that keeps you guessing about everyone’s true motives. It feels less like a romance game and more like a crime drama with heavy emotional weight, which makes it stand out from most visual novels. The art style is clean and cinematic, fitting the noir tone perfectly. The characters are well-written, complex, and flawed in realistic ways. Every dialogue choice feels meaningful, and the story does a great job of showing the consequences of your actions. On the downside, the pacing can feel uneven, and some routes require patience to fully appreciate. The tone is dark and serious, so it’s not for players looking for lighthearted moments or happy endings. Still, Red Spider: Vengeance is a gripping, well-written experience that rewards players who enjoy mature storytelling and moral complexity. Rating: 8.5/10
真的是良作无人。。玩了那么多乙女看那么多小说,还是我见到的头一个如此有胆识的大女主,尤其是在过狗头线时和他有着一样的感受(目前过了狗头和阿陆的线)。游戏每条线篇幅不长但是十分精炼,感情线不突兀有理有据,在女主和每个男人交流的时候有埋下伏笔。真的不敢说太多我的感受,怕剧透了,但真的希望找到这个作品的国人不要因为没有立绘就放弃了这个优秀的作品。作者从14年开始到24年,十年了仍然在不断做续集,大多数都是免费的,所以制作简陋点完全可以理解,而且文本和音乐的质量很高的
Amazing story, pretty long too, I spend few hours for each route. Even though this isn't free, I will still buy it
This VN has some quality issues, e.g. rough engine, some texts are repeated and you cannot skip seen text, if it is in different story branch (after you make choice). Characters have no faces, which (apparently for some people) makes it harder to differenciate them. What I could add to this argument is that basically using "Lau" (twice), "Lai", "Lou" as names is also very unfortunate. This does not get updates and is very unpopular. But it is quite solid piece of thriller-ish "detective" story. Music was probably best part - sometimes I had game turned on just for the music. Graphics might be one of downsides, but for me personally there was ok.
剧情无聊,抄袭无间道严重
