Red Haze

Red Haze

Released Feb 2017

You know, my dear, it isn't safe... To wander and creep while oh so weak. In the abandoned, the rotten, the decayed. Society has forgotten you; it won't lift a finger for that which is tossed away. You're just prey that the true prowlers who lay in shadows await to feast upon.

Evaluation

Red Haze launched in February 2017 and has been receiving content updates for nearly a decade, with the developer progressively building toward a complete version of the game. A major update on July 11, 2024 added three new endings, dozens of new rooms, new monsters, and expanded voice acting, completing what the developer called the "Main Area" of the game. On August 7, 2025, the developer announced a final content update targeting December 2025, which was subsequently delayed due to a family health situation. On September 10, 2026, the developer posted a news update confirming that the Final Update will release on September 24, 2026 as a free update. This update adds Ending A, unlocks the A-Z Door (accessible after collecting all 26 regular endings), adds new secrets and random events, expands the "Bruises Glimmer in Starlight" DLC with new Chapter 1 content, and adds a new Chapter 2 to the DLC. The developer explicitly states this is "the final update of Red Haze outside of fixing any bugs found afterward." This is a direct developer statement that Red Haze's content development will be complete upon this update's release on September 24, 2026. The game will be content-complete as of that date, with only potential bug-fix patches remaining.

About this game

It isn't safe...


Falling into the dark pits of society, Rockette turned to drugs to give meaning to her miserable existence. Squatting in an old apartment complex, she finds herself at her last pump, and decides to venture from her shanty abode to locate her dealer, an older woman by the name of Aunti G. However, a creeping feeling takes hold; something is following her. A voice begins to talk to her from within the walls...

A semi-sequel to Close Your Eyes, something of a loose retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Featuring a cryptic, surreal, and morbid story where not everything is as it seems, perception is important, and choice matters.

  • Something always watches you in the dark places of your mind; different people may perceive things differently.
  • A harrowing experience featuring an original soundtrack & art.
  • An unsettling and slowly-building atmosphere, paced to keep things interesting.
  • A cryptic and harrowing tale exploring the dark corners of society.
  • Voice acting that may be turned on or off.
  • Multiple endings, many secrets, and multiple pathways support replayability.

What soft skin you have, my child...
