Our take on Red Haze
The defining detail is its loose Little Red Riding Hood framework, recast as Rockette’s search through a decaying apartment complex while an unseen presence and a voice in the walls distort her perception.
What is Red Haze?
Red Haze follows Rockette, who leaves her home in an abandoned apartment complex to find her dealer, Aunti G, after turning to drugs for meaning.
As she explores, something appears to follow her and a voice speaks from inside the walls. The game presents a cryptic, surreal, and morbid story loosely retelling Little Red Riding Hood, with perception and choices affecting the experience. Its atmosphere builds gradually through original music and artwork, while multiple pathways, secrets, and endings give the narrative several possible outcomes. Voice acting can be switched on or off. Achievements are available only on the Windows PC version; the game is playable on Mac, but achievements cannot be unlocked there.
