About the Game

Redcrest: 1993 is a psychological horror set in the small town of Redcrest, CA. 

Fourteen years ago, a murder occurred in the woods, and you must deal with the consequences. Player, please read what I am about to tell you very carefully.

You play as Malaysia, who, well, maybe I shouldn't talk about her. I don't think I should talk about any of these people here. Why would you want to know about these people? They're all hiding something from someone. Even Malaysia's own mom and dad won't tell her about her childhood. All these people aren't who they seem. Well, not all of them, but that's not my job to figure out. 

Work tasks are completed in forms of arcade games, true to its style. Complete them to finish your workday at the arcade. Well, there is one game, hm, you probably shouldn't touch that. Point and click on objects to interact with them, you're able to open and play with many things. Maybe even, find something you weren't supposed to find. Keep your nose out of things.

It's made in pixel art with a top-down perspective and its music combines retro sounds with catchy beats to make for a score heavily inspired by Undertale. Okay look, I made this in pixel art so you wouldn't have to see the mutilation in graphic detail. That's for Malaysia to see, not you. You only see so much, you only understand a fraction of what Malaysia's feeling. The music will be your only way to understand her. Just. Listen.

Play the game right. If you play it wrong, you may acquire an ending that would tarnish Redcrest forever. Just play the game. Please just play the game. I beg you just play the game. Redcrest has ruined everyone. Play it with caution but do play it. There are some things you need to see here player. Please. Play the game.
