How it feels

A tense, pixelated sidescroller where you quietly spread rebellion through stealth and puzzles in a dystopian city under a dictator's thumb.

What players say

Players say Red Man is extremely hard and confusing, with no guidance on what to do or how to control it. The punishing difficulty and lack of walkthroughs are called part of the point, and there appears to be only one ending.
