About This Game
Redshift is a short solo developed psychological narrative horror game where you close your eyes to reveal a hidden layer of reality, the REDSHIFT.
You play as Samuel Chase, a field technician sent by Northline Communications to restore power to a long‑abandoned military relay tower deep in the hills. The job feels routine, but is quickly revealed to be something much more. By activating the tower and starting the REDSHIFT, you reveal things that were never meant to be seen.
Key Features
Dual‑Reality Exploration
Open your eyes to see the familiar world, or close them to uncover see into the REDSHIFT: hidden objects, shifting images, strange messages, and something else that's following you.
A Focused Single‑Sitting Experience
Designed to be completed in 10 to 20 minutes, REDSHIFT delivers a tight, atmospheric story that can be explored in one play session.
Immersive Storytelling
Uncover the past through environmental details, radio transmissions, and tense dialogue with your dispatcher as the tower grows stranger.
A Living Soundscape
Dynamic audio, subtle interference, and noise create tension and signal danger long before you see it.
Multiple Endings
Make your choices. REDSHIFT has two distinct endings, and it will be up to you what decision you make. Will you run, or will you face Tower 7?
