Space is Red, an alt-history sci-fi horror visual novel game, has arrived on Steam today for PC, Mac, and Linux. Developed by Febrvvm and published by Dreamlore, it opens a portal into a shadowed alternate future, offering a story where deep space feels as unsettling as an abandoned corridor. You can purchase it right now on Steam for just $6.29 at a 10% discount.
The story unfolds aboard a Soviet starship in a timeline where the USSR endures and continues its fierce rivalry with the United States far beyond Earth’s orbit. After a hyperspace jump made to slip away from an ambush, the crew drifts into the orbit of an unexplored world tucked in a neglected corner of the galaxy. The silence around the planet carries a strange weight, and soon the crew notices events beyond our logic. Tension rises as the idea of a hidden saboteur begins to take shape, creating an atmosphere where every shadow feels sharper and every glance across a corridor seems charged.
Its visual style leans into black-and-white comic imagery shaped by retro-horror manga traditions. Players can expect branching paths, detective-style investigation, and frequent mortal danger. A well as an ominous presence that settles over the ship like a slow-moving eclipse. Every choice guides the story toward one of several endings. Each one of them is carved by the player’s ability to interpret the ship’s unraveling mysteries.
Space is Red also serves as a bold new interpretation of Красный космос, the first Russian full-length visual novel released in 2007. The original work never received an English translation and never appeared in digital form. This release serves both as a revival and reintroduction. So, what are you waiting for? Embark on an epic sci-fi adventure right now!
