The Red Strings Club starts, and ends, with a character falling out of a high-rise window. There’s no indication that you could do anything to stop this from happening, or even that you’re supposed to. The game is more interested in how you get to that point—and the web of lies, manipulation, and tough choices you leave in your wake. This cyberpunk point-and-click game, out today on PC, is by Deconstructeam, the developers behind 2014’s Gods Will Be Watching. Godswas a series of scenarios in which the player had to manage characters’ needs and unclear emotional states. The Red Strings Club is set up roughly the same way, but it’s not the brutal tightrope walk of life and death its predecessor was. It’s more forgiving, but it’s also more complicated. Its decisions open up into possibilities, nuances, and outcomes that don’t have clear rights and wrongs. https://kotaku.com/a-cyberpunk-game-where-you-manipulate-people-with-alcoh-1822305786
