About this game
NOTE: This is in the Alpha Beta Phase, the game continues to update till it is out of ALPHA!
So expect bugs or some low content! The game will update based on feedback.
REDACT is a short indie game, where listening or not affects the path of your gameplay and story.
A singular button that can do so many things with a power of a cassette (and maybe a robot?)
Choices that can also affect your outcome of the game! Set in the 1980s
To expect; the game is short, and some replay value. I will be bug-fixing the game and polishing more off when needed and reported. This project is more of a personal project, so the game isn't meant to be taken seriously, so I recommended before playing this game.
To not have high expectations!
This game features;
Multiple Endings
Fun Narrative
Interactive Elements
And a robot friend!
Now what ending(s) or choices are you gonna make?

DEVLOG #1 | New Level Selection + Main Menu
DEVLOG #1Hey guys! I will now be doing devlog(s) to be more transparent with the next update!NEW MAIN MENUI decided to simplify the main menu as I thought too much was happening(?) If its not great or just eh, let me know in comments!NEW LEVEL SELECTION MENUOkay sooo... I decided to be very creative with it! Making it a map like a detective office!You hover over the selected buildings that represents the level and click and it will take you!So what are your guys thoughts about the changes!WHATS NEXT?I will try to be making a tutorial level that only plays that detects if you haven't done it before or new save file (Don't worry for those you already have save file, it will play if it detects if you haven't played the tutorial before!)Oh though it will take a bit... That is because: It will require a whole new level / map / interactable(s) / puzzles / voice lines / new music!Because I have a vision on how it will go, and I will cover the W.I.P. of that in the next Devlog (2)! So anyways! Let me know what you guys think of the changes! I will slowly be revamping the level to make it understandable, fun, interesting, and less repetitive before I move onto the next level! And I also have a way better story in mind! Till next time!Cheers!Read full article on Community Announcements (Xioanz)AnnouncementsOfficial
V1.5.0 + Future
Hey guys! So sorry I haven't active lately!But lets get with the update changes and start talking about the future!UPDATE V1.5.0New:Remastered and changed "The Store" room to be more straight forward and visually appealingReplaced "E', icon to the more default and preferred Interact button (LMB)You can now place items back down! (More visual update for this on later update)Bug fixes: Fixed where you can duplicate music discFixed you can spam Robot and gain money constantlyKnown Issues: Voices on cassette will overlap (gotta somehow find a way to replicate this) NOW THE FUTURE:So I've been stuck on what to do with the game recently and I will admit, my motivation was being slowed down a bit lately.With the next level I'm cooking up and updates as of recent!Now I've heard you guys loud and clear with the reviews on the store page. I understand the issue with how the game fails to communicate the controls/story and just everything in general Now I have a few ideas to fix this (eg. Like short first-time introduction tutorial, etc) BUT, I want to hear from you guys, as it can be challenging from the developer point of view, to see "first-time players" and more to see the issues from the other side. So please! Leave a comment/discussion under this post if you have suggestions or express your frustration with the game, anything! I want more than ever to make this a positive experience for anyone who plays this game!As usual though, I will see ya guys laterCheers!Read full article on Community Announcements (Xioanz)AnnouncementsOfficial
