REDM Chapters: New Orleans, Episode I |English - ZX Spectrum +3

A Retro-Style Supernatural  Graphic Adventure in Modern New Orleans

Set in 2008 New Orleans, REDM Chapters is a classic-style graphic adventure that puts you in the role of a vampire agent working for the mysterious REDM organisation. Investigate supernatural occurrences while managing your vampire nature using a traditional verb-based interface reminiscent of classic adventure games.

Note: this is not a "choose your destiny adventure" or a narrative novel.

Key Features:

• Classic verb-based interface with keyboard  or joystick controls

• Scanned retro-style pixel art graphics (ZX Spectrum 15 colours)

• Multiple interaction verbs including:

  - Go/Push, Examine, Take/Give, Use, Talk ...

• Inventory management system

• Quick travel system

• Vampire powers and blood management

• Modern story in a classic presentation

• Ambient text to expand the story and the different situations

• More than 35+ locations, many taken from the authentic New Orleans, puzzles, NPCS and a rich original story that will take you hours to complete. To give you an idea, completing the game using a walkthrough and taking the minimal steps takes more than 30 minutes.

• Episodic story: This package will contain the first two episodes, one available now, and the second in the summer of 25, which are included in the present price. The third will be released as a different single episode.

 Format

The version you have in your hands is exclusive to ZX Spectrum +3 in a disc format.

You can play it in many ways:

- The original machine. Note that the file provided is an image of the disk (".dsk"),  intended for emulation, even if it is an actual machine, like the Next, the N-Go, etc If you want to run it on a 3-inch disk, you need to convert it. If you own an original ZX Spectrum +3, I recommend getting an internal or external GOTEK unit, though.

- On the Spectrum Next, N-GO, clones, and any hardware that runs the +3 core (does not work on “The Spectrum”, though)

- Emulators like Zesarux, Retro Virtual Machine, Fuse, Speccy, etc...

A good option is to emulate the game on your mobile phone, for instance, using the "Speccy" emulator. The on-screen interface is sufficient for playing the entire game, and you can get it up and running in under five minutes.

Team

Original idea, script, programming and graphics - M.J. From an original idea and a conversational game I developed in 2007, when I joined" the London-UK retro-scene. 

Engine

I've used a custom version of the C&D engine, modified by me, to fit the game's needs.
