About Redshift
Redshift is a Ren'Py visual novel with 3D CG art, created by Sleepyten. It places you in the role of a custom-named crew member, called Cole by default, aboard the colony ship Amenonuhoko. Its goal was to reach a star system near Earth and see if an extra-planetary colony could work, but the outcome remains uncertain when you wake from cryostasis under strange circumstances. The story draws on space exploration fiction and games, while imagining a post-apocalyptic situation in which Earth is no longer reachable, focusing on how people behave rather than on ruined cities or zombies.
The current build is version 0.01, released on December 1, 2022. It is an initial release, not a final version, so development is ongoing. The latest changelog lists only this initial release. The game runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is written in English, and is uncensored. Its themes include science fiction, a male protagonist, and harem relationships.
Developer's description
You play as a custom-named crew member (defaulted to Cole) on the colony-ship Amenonuhoko. The Amenonuhoko's mission was relatively straightforward: travel to a near-Earth star system to test whether or not the idea of an extra-planetary colony was feasible. Whether or not that mission has and will succeed is still in doubt as you wake up from your cryostasis under mysterious circumstances. Spoiler: More information It was inspired by space exploration novels and games, as well as a slight lean in to an alternate view of what a post-apocalyptic world would look like. It is not a crumbling Earth and zombie-infested vision of a post-apocalyptic world, but more an idea of how a group of humans would act if the Earth they knew and loved was no longer accessible to them.
