About REDACT

NOTE: This is in the Alpha Beta Phase, the game continues to update till it is out of ALPHA! 
So expect bugs or some low content! The game will update based on feedback.

REDACT is a short indie game, where listening or not affects the path of your gameplay and story.
A singular button that can do so many things with a power of a cassette (and maybe a robot?)
Choices that can also affect your outcome of the game! Set in the 1980sTo expect; the game is short, and some replay value. I will be bug-fixing the game and polishing more off when needed and reported. This project is more of a personal project, so the game isn't meant to be taken seriously, so I recommended before playing this game.
To not have high expectations!This game features;
  • Multiple Endings
  • Fun Narrative
  • Interactive Elements
  • And a robot friend!
Now what ending(s) or choices are you gonna make?

I obtained the magnet from a playthrough and then could not use it on the little flying robot. Bugged?

i feel bad leaving a no recommend but sadly i can't in the state the game is in for me anyway, as there seems to be no way to progress. leaving this in case it helps make the issue more visibile? fully aware this might be my potato acting up but i can run most things just fine so i don't know whats happening here. especially since reviews seem to make it sound like im the only one who's experiencing this. anyway, the issue is after inputting the second tape and the robot says te three colors in order i have to press the problem is no panel to the right opens. i think i can make out which, is it the one with the triangular caution symbol? i assume so but since nothing opens i can't verify. regardless because nothing opens i can't play the game which sucks cause it seems neat. maybe its a texture thing since im playing on medium to high settings?

Had a pretty good time with this one. The gameplay is fairly simple right now, but it was enjoyable enough to keep me engaged until I had seen everything it had to offer. I especially liked going through the different endings and seeing how things played out. The visual design was another highlight for me. The robots looked great, and the environments had enough personality to make exploring them interesting. It definitely feels like a game with a solid foundation already in place. Overall, it's a promising project that already has some good ideas working in its favor. There's definitely room for it to grow, but what is here was fun, and I'm interested to see where future updates take it.

An interesting puzzle game that kind of nods to the meaningless of work without a greater meaning. Currently, we can only play the first level, but I hope the dev adds more! It was fun trying to discover all endings by finding ways of deviating from the set path. I am genuinely curious to discover more about the world and the story! Like, why are we even there and what is our true purpose?

Great story and mechanics but there are some stuff what needs to be done, other than that its a good puzzle
