DESCRIPTION
REDLINE is a narrative horror game set in a metro haunted by the player’s past actions. Players embark on a journey that takes them into the mind of a person consumed by their past failures. It is an emotionally charged, atmospheric experience that delves into the complexities of remorse and regret.
Throughout REDLINE, the player must move from light source to light source, avoiding the dark. The dark causes the player to experience overwhelming panic caused by memories of their past. If they spend too much time with these memories, the player blacks out and resets their progress. Players must find a way to navigate obstacles within the metro, forcing them inevitably to confront their past.
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS
LIMITED COLOR PALETTE
REDLINE uses a limited color palette of black, white, and red. This color palette is used in circumstances to easily draw the player's eye with its contrast.
LARGE INTERIOR
Large interior spaces are used to make the player feel small and insignificant in comparison to their surrounding area. The vast interior space is deliberately used to create this sensation while using lighting to direct the player.
RECOGNIZABLE ENVIRONMENT
The interior of the space references well-known underground metro systems. This creates a sense of familiarity for the player to explore. The main references for this project were the London Underground and the New York Metro Station.
