Evaluation
Dear RED - Extended is a small indie RPG that launched on April 12, 2016 as a self-contained, story-driven experience with 16–17 branching endings. The store description explicitly frames this as a complete narrative package — an extended version of the original game with updated endings, improved graphics, bonus content (a digital artbook), and gameplay changes. There is no roadmap, no DLC, no season pass, and no announced future content of any kind. The only post-launch developer communication is a patch from August 1, 2016 that added Steam achievements — routine maintenance consistent with a finished product. The developer has not posted anything since August 2016, but given that the game launched as a complete, self-contained story with no post-launch content ever promised or delivered, this silence is entirely expected. This game shipped as a finished product.

About this game
Red had grown, she understood what happened, why he always mentioned those words although she couldn't stand watching and being overwhelmed by the old memories all the time. Now that he's dead, it doesn't have to be so anymore...
Dear Red is a game based on two choices: Truth or Lie. Each of your choices will lead to a different result. In the game, you are Red, a girl with a plan to look for her mother's murderer to end his life. You have planned this for a long time, but nothing goes as expected when you're facing the one whose neck you long to stab day and night.
There are 16 - 17 endings, and some of them are short, some are long. The playtime will be longer or not, it all depends on you and your choices.
[Extended Version]
- Endings changed
- Graphics changed
- Bonus content (Digital artbook included)
- Gameplay changes
