Our take on Red Tape
The corporate-hell premise is prominent, while the described activities are running, jumping, waiting in line, fighting through bureaucracy, and solving problems. The nine departments and their roles are specified, but the description provides little detail about how play differs between them.
What is Red Tape?
Red Tape is an adventure game set in Hell Incorporated, where an angel is trapped in Hell because of a paperwork error.
The angel must seek an audience with the Devil, clear their name, and restore balance between Heaven and Hell. Gameplay involves exploring nine departments, running, jumping, waiting in line, fighting through bureaucracy, and solving problems.
