Redshirt

Redshirt is a comedy sci-fi social simulation game developed by Mitu Khandaker, developing under the company name The Tiniest Shark, and published by Positech Games for Windows, MacOS, and iOS. The game follows the player’s custom character as they work through a fictional social media account as they try to “climb the ladder” on a space station. The game’s title refers to a redshirt, a stock character in fiction who dies soon after being introduced.

The game is played from a top-down perspective, and the player controls their character by clicking on objects and people in the environment. The player can interact with other characters on the space station, complete tasks, and post status updates on Spacebook, a fictional social media platform. As the player progresses through the game, they can gain new skills and abilities, and they can also unlock new areas of the space station.

The goal of the game is to become the most popular person on Spacebook and to climb the career ladder on the space station. The player can achieve this by completing tasks, gaining skills, and making friends with other characters. However, the player must also be careful not to die, as redshirts are often killed off in fiction.

Redshirt was released in 2014 to mixed reviews. Critics praised the game’s humor and its unique take on the social simulation genre. However, some critics felt that the game was too repetitive and that the gameplay lacked depth.

Overall, Redshirt is a fun and humorous game that offers a unique take on the social simulation genre. The game is well-suited for players who enjoy science fiction, comedy, and social media. However, players who are looking for a deep and challenging game may be disappointed.
