  • Summary: Red Rope: Don't Fall Behind is an allegorical local co-op game: the two protagonists are the archetypal couple, united by a rope that represents their bond.

    Red Rope: Don't Fall Behind is an allegorical local co-op game: the two protagonists are the archetypal couple, united by a rope that represents their bond.

    Their link has a double meaning: it surely is a restriction, a promise, a limit to their liberty, but it is also an alliance, a pact, a synergy.

    Without their link, the rope, they wouldn't be able to survive the insidious labyrinth in which they move, they would be defenceless facing the macabre presences that torment them, they would be indiscernible from the roaming shadows they themselves sacrifice to strengthen their bond.

    Red Rope is a terrifying, enigmatic adventure for 1 or 2 players who want to test their bond. Explore the Labyrinth, get acquainted with its bizarre inhabitants, its secrets and its rules. Face enemies, traps, puzzles, and ferocious bosses. Only the best will find the way out and become heroes.

    Red Rope is a very original experience, taking the risk to develop an unusual idea, which is based on few themes and gameplay elements, that are perfectly executed.

    An original and truly difficult game, that gives its best if played with a friend through the local co-op. However, the game can still be played and enjoyed in single player, but the lack of a partner may bring a certain frustration and a sense of repetitiveness.

    This game is a masterpiece. Period. The game is exhilarating through its innovative game design and clever mechanics. I played with my brotherThis game is a masterpiece. Period. The game is exhilarating through its innovative game design and clever mechanics. I played with my brother and through the frustratingly hopeless despair of a defeat and the glorious triumph of victory we tied our way to victory and the experience is something I'm not soon to forget. The only complaint I can muster for this game is one I'm not bothered by but I assume many others will be, it is the painstaking difficulty. Patience is key and should you play with an easily angered partner the game will likely end in a fight. however, this was not my case and Red Rope truly delivered an amazing experience! 10/10 Expand

    This game is a hidden gem and I certainly enjoy it, but it definitely isn’t for everyone. The thought put into the dungeons and their themesThis game is a hidden gem and I certainly enjoy it, but it definitely isn’t for everyone. The thought put into the dungeons and their themes is incredible, and the main gameplay mechanic is extremely innovative and very interesting to work with. Unfortunately, the difficulty is pretty severe and almost requires a co-op partner, but if you’ve got one handy, it’s a great deal of fun trying to communicate with a friend and get things done.
