ART BY DENIMECHO

A PHYSICS-DRIVEN RPG.

Red Rooster is an incendiary, physics-driven RPG combining the best of cerebral, worldbuilding-rich RPGs with the genetics of physics-driven immersive sims.

Play as Redrick Roost, a white-collar inmate thrust into the role of an arson investigator and partnered up with an opiate-dependent mathematician to investigate a mysterious string of arson that all seems to connect to his brother, the city’s fire–chief.

Explore the fractalized “border archipelago” of the tri-partite city of Arta-Tantor in a political alternate-history setting with a strong science fiction undercurrent.

THE GOAL

The goal of Red Rooster is to advance the role-playing genre by placing the player in an environment as dynamic, reactive and consequential as the protagonist's rich inner world.

FIGHT FIRES TO GET TO THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORLD.

Events of Red Rooster take place in an our-world-adjacent magical realism setting.

It’s an all-new fictional world inspired by a fusion of the 1980’s sun-drenched Yugoslavian riviera and the Eastern Block, with influences ranging from the Ottoman culture to Scandinavian social-democracies and the colonial Dutch Empire.

This is not the “end of history”, but rather the “beginning of the future” in the tripartite city of Arta-Tantor.

In the last days of the longest summer on record, the city is hosting the 13th triennial Continental Summer Games while the region is ravaged by an unprecedented heatwave, sporadic power-outs and a troubling amount of domestic and wildfires.

SET FIRES TO GET TO THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.

Step into the ankle-monitor-clad boots of Redrick "Rooster" Roost, a white-collar inmate serving a life sentence in a minimum security prison for gross criminal negligence over a highly publicized auto-meditation device fiasco.

A week before your parole hearing, you're approached by a high-ranking official from a low-profile government agency with a proposal to infiltrate the local fire station run by your brother and identify the serial arsonist suspected to be operating amongst their ranks.

In exchange for your help, you're promised a blanket pardon for your crimes and a guaranteed return to the society you haven't been a part of for more than a decade.

FIND YOUR FLOCK.

You don't have face the flames alone. Join forces with an opiate-dependent mathematician, Dr Astrid Albers, and a nunchaku-wielding truth-activist, the district bus driver Rico. Three's a company after all.

And you're gonna need all the company you can get, as the fires you face become increasingly harder to explain and the destructive urges harder to ignore.

Maybe you shouldn't be alone tonight?

COME HOME TO ROOST.

Navigate the flames, the intrigues and the politics of Arta-Tantor as you prepare for the parole hearing, respond to fire incidents, follow the arsonist’s trail and try to blend in with the firefighters of Terminal 9.

Or give in to the seductive whispers of Redrick's dark alter egos in the bizarre 'chicken coop' he has constructed inside his head as you wrangle Redrick's mind in the signature psychological RPG fashion.

Who are you really when the lights go out?
