Cyberpunk point & click thriller ‘The Red Strings Club’ opens its doors
Independent developer Deconstructeam and pottery enthusiasts Devolver Digital have released The Red Strings Club on Steam, GOG, and Humble with a 15% off launch discount through January 30.
The Red Strings Club is a cyberpunk narrative experience about fate and happiness featuring the extensive use of pottery, bartending and impersonating people on the phone to take down a corporate conspiracy. The professed altruistic corporation Supercontinent Ltd is on the verge of releasing Social Psyche Welfare: a system that will eliminate depression, anger and fear from society. However, the bartender of a clandestine club and a freelance hacker don’t regard this evolution as an improvement but as brainwashing. Alongside unwitting company employees and a rogue empathy android, the duo will pull all the strings they can to bring down this scheme.

The team’s first effort went on to gain critical acclaim for its bold narrative and unorthodox approach to the point and click adventure genre. The team has continued their work with notable entries in the world’s largest game jam competitions with a few of these experiments coming together to assemble The Red Strings Club.
