    The Red Strings Club lands on Nintendo Switch offering an experience worthy of the one that was originally released on PC. An adventure whose clearly reflective intentions build intense moral debates for the player through charismatic and unforgettable characters.

    The Red Strings Club is a meaningful journey for mature audiences that can teach us a thing or two about morals. It is a game with lessons to be learned and stories to be shared, as we too have important decisions to make in our own lives.

    The Red Strings Club stands out for its good story, its narrative, its charismatic characters, a great atmosphere and its simple but successful gameplay based on dialogues and mini-games. A title that invites us to reflect and replay it to explore all its stories.

    Sit down, fix yourself a stiff drink, and get ready to open up. The Red Strings Club is an establishment worth visiting.

    The Red Strings Club fits into a niche, a cyberpunk narrative with a touch of noir bundled with in a adventure game. If any of these genres grabs your interest then you should pull up a seat, make a drink and soak into the electronic synth tunes as The Red Strings Club gives you something to really think about.

    The Red Strings Club tells a brilliant cyberpunk tale that's full of big ideas and tough moral questions. Its gameplay sections are a little too flimsy and repetitive to keep pace, but you'll want to play through this memorable adventure nonetheless.

    Even though The Red Strings Club is in a pixelated genre which is oversaturated, the story all but makes up for it. I would recommend this despite its controls for anyone on a budget looking for a great story-telling game, and for all sci-fi/cyberpunk fans.

    It’s not perfect, and is slightly hobbled by a slightly imperfect port to the Switch, but it is an indie darling if ever I saw one, and it is one that’ll have a huge fan following.

    I would still heartily recommend The Red Strings Club to fans of cyberpunk or crime stories or those who enjoy narrative games with a fair amount of choice and minimal gameplay. I’m not sure if I will be returning to this bar right away, but I’ll certainly be thinking about it.
