The Red Strings Club Reviews
Ultimately, The Red Strings Club tries and succeeds to be deeply thought provoking. Whereas other sci-fi games can tell a great story and make the player fear for a hypothetical future, few have made me question my personal definitions on fate, ethics and humanity.
The Red Strings Club deeply explores human emotions and feelings, giving the player the opportunity to play with them.

The Red Strings Club is a true cyberpunk classic. Pixel-art visuals and a cyberpunk world make way for fascinating gameplay and a truly compelling, well written story. The game will force you to make tough decisions while questioning your own thoughts about important, current day topics. This is an indie title you won't want to miss.
The Red Strings Club is a perfect example of how to create a sublime and intrinsic moral debate within a deep story and a great and well developed world. A masterpiece of graphic adventures, absolutely recommendable for those who are fans of the genre and for those who aren't. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ldb4'); });

The Red Strings Club is a deeply gratifying cyberpunk adventure whose strong writing and exciting scenarios enhance its themes about the manipulation of human emotion.
Old school adventuring has grown up!
The Red Strings Club is a vehicle for some of the most engrossing cyberpunk stories I've witnessed in recent memory. I don't know that I've had anywhere near enough of them, just yet.
The Red Strings Club is not a dish for all palates, or rather, it is not a cocktail that will please everyone. Because Deconstructeam, like Donovan, knows how to touch our deepest emotions in a cruelly beautiful way: they guide us to an impasse in which we must assume the consequences of what we have caused. We will be victims and executioners of the threads of destiny that, with our actions, have been weaving a tapestry rich in shades, full of lights and shadows. Believe me when I tell you that you will not easily forget this game: they will come out bruised and aching, but with the smile of the one who has known how to fight until the end.

Loaded with philosophy, The Red Strings Club is able to capture the player in a narrative that is deeply controversial and full of dualities with simple but satisfactory gameplay, reaching its pinnacle with one of the best endings ever in a game.

Few titles can take players on a journey with the ease and grace that The Red Strings Club does; its ability to do so much with so little is a ringing endorsement to the effectiveness of minimalism. The game will not—can not—appeal to everyone, but those seeking a title that takes narrative seriously should not overlook it. Although the gameplay is not challenging, the way it forms an integral part of the story is something that even the biggest, most practiced teams in the industry can learn from. In short, The Red Strings Club is unmissable.
If you've any interest in transhumanist philosophy or even ethics in general, then you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. If you don't, then The Red Strings Club should still hit the spot – and you might find you have more to say the next time someone asks you about the nature of happiness.
It's a great game to fill a contemplative afternoon. Buy it.
The Red Strings Club is a fascinating journey into the problem of free will
