About
Space is Red is an alt-history sci-fi horror visual novel.
The game takes place aboard a Soviet starship in an alternate future where the USSR still exists and competes with the US for dominance in space. After a hyperspace jump to evade an ambush, the crew finds itself near a mysterious planet in a poorly explored sector of the known galaxy. Strange occurrences begin, and suspicion grows among the crew that a traitor may be in their midst.

The visuals are styled like a black-and-white comic book, drawing inspiration from retro-horror manga. Expect multiple endings, detective elements, numerous deaths, and, of course, an alien presence.
Space is Red is a radical reimagining of the first Russian full-length visual novel, «Красный космос» ("Krasny kosmos" or Red Space), originally released in 2007.

The original game, "Krasny kosmos", was never available digitally and was never translated into other languages. With Space is Red, this has finally changed.

Reviews
Overall, the game is enjoyable but lacks polish: [list] [*] Atmosphere is probably the strongest part of the game. The description does not present it well, but this is a cosmic horror experience, narratively similar to [i]Event Horizon[/i], [i]Alien[/i], or [i]The Thing[/i]. Everything non-essential for the genre is reduced to minimum; for example, there is little information about the world beyond the fact that the USSR still exists and is competing with the US for dominance in space. [*] The soundtrack is great and fits the atmosphere well. [*] Writing and plot are generally good, but the writing clearly received little to no proofreading and feels rough on a few occasions. [*] The visuals are mostly fine. The game draws heavily from Soviet aesthetics (military uniforms, stern facial expressions, functional environment design), while the overall style is influenced by seinen manga (such as [i]Ghost in the Shell[/i] and [i]BLAME![/i]). That said, a few of the assets are shoddy, for example certain facial expressions of Sokolovsky (which also suffer from noticable AI artifacts). [/list] P.S. There is no bug with ending #1. The game misleads players into thinking it can be unlocked the same way as the other five endings, but it actually requires more specific conditions.

主角就任舰长一职的太空舰队尤里·安德罗波夫号在一次为了躲避突然袭击在战场紧急撤退的过程中进入了超空间,但是舰上有多出受损,全舰通讯系统失灵,舰长需要亲自前去尽快查明各处损伤情况和人员伤亡,遗憾的是不仅只剩一位机械工程师而且超空间驱动器也出现了严重的问题,并且其所在舱室也因为之间的爆炸和起火温度过高无法进入进行维修,因此只能先行脱离超空间,但随之而来发生的一系列离奇的事件让我们不禁怀疑我们中出了叛徒 看了眼原版似乎是早期画风,人物形象都比较简单,欠缺细节刻画,该作是原作小说自2007年发布以来原版游戏的重构版,将画风进化为了更贴近现代审美的画风,人物更有张力一点了,同时色彩也从彩色变为了黑白的漫画风 刚进标题界面的BGM就能对该作的风格有一个朦胧的感觉了,进入游戏后的背景音乐更是渲染了更紧迫危险的氛围,那带着失真和杂音连续的不和谐音无疑也让人感受到了紧张感 顺带给没有认真看键位的玩家提一嘴,菜单(包括存读档)是鼠标右键或Esc,回滚对话是鼠标滚轮上滑,自动模式是Ctrl,其他的就没这么常用了 总的来说是部普通的太空题材恐怖视觉小说,比较可惜的是没有配音(想听舰长语气说话),另外中文化时部分选项也没有正确显示出来,比如是否进入马克莫夫的舱室出的两个选项的文字描述就没有显示出来,希望制作组有空可以修一下优化玩家体验 [quote][code][b]关注&加入[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44819229]『街角的咖啡屋』[/url],一起来探索各种趣味游戏,抢先体验各种游戏[/b][/code] [code][b]欢迎加入[u]Q群:929938747[/u] —一起评测讨论最新游戏[/b][/code][/quote]
[h1] 「♥Space is Red: 赤色太空♥」 [/h1] [h2] 「♥游戏介绍♥」 [/h2] Space is Red: 赤色太空是一款改编自长篇小说的视觉小说游戏,游戏画面采用了纯黑白画风来进行绘制,人物的设计也非常俄式,且该作品在2007年就有发行过,而本作则是重置版并添加了多种语言翻译,游戏的背景设定在平行世界的美苏冷战时期,在这个世界观中,科技高度发达,人类早就拥有了在太空遨游的技术,而这个无人知晓的故事,就发生在宇宙中的一艘舰船之内,游戏中玩家要调查各个地点,推进剧情,有多结局的设定。 [h2] 「♥游戏内容♥」 [/h2] 游戏的剧情讲述了一段发生在太空中的离奇故事,而在太空之中,这种事情,渺小到简直不能再渺小了,通过黑白的画风将孤立无援的氛围感烘托到了极致。在一个平行世界中,美苏冷战仍然在发生,而在宇宙中的某一处,一艘飞船遭遇到了莫名其妙的攻击,身为船长的你,必须要立刻进行搜索和调查详情,但是随着调查的进行,飞船上发生了越来越多的离奇事件,身为船长的你的压力也越来越大,随着调查深入,就能收集到越来越多的线索,最后直到一切的真相。 游戏的玩法就是到处调查,哪里能点点哪里,有剧情推进就能收集到新的信息,但因为玩家扮演的是船长,所以有些信息拥有局限性,就好像,我在这里调查,在某个角落又在同时发生一些我不知道的事情。游戏的多结局设定也让玩家能够更加投入思考和带入视角,氛围感和参与感都十分不错。 [h2] 「♥总结♥」 [/h2] Space is Red: 赤色太空作为一款小说改的游戏,这次在画质和语言上得到了加强,给玩家讲述了一段来自平行宇宙的渺小的一段小故事,推荐给喜欢该类型题材小说的玩家进行游玩,喜欢推理悬疑的一定不要错过。 [table][td]欢迎关注鉴赏家[url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45519015/]“无趣评测”[/url][/td][/table]
