Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Hell with DreadXP and developer Pollaris Studios’ Red Tape, which is out now on PC via Steam. And hey, for those of you looking to get that special someone a gift, Red Tape is enjoying a 10% discount from now until February 21st.
Red Tape tells the hellish tale of an angel who was subjected to damnation due to a paperwork error. Now, in order to right this egregious wrong, you must traverse the nine circles of Hell to get an audience with Old Scratch himself: The Devil. Taking notes from Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy”, and originally conceived as a Ludum Dare Gamejam entry, Pollaris Studios’ Red Tape takes the idiom to literal lengths.
You’ll have to run, jump, queue, and experience corporate culture so hellish, you’ll be begging for a trip to the DMV. As if that weren’t enough, all manner of demons and hellspawn are determined to complicate matters further with their petty nonsense, conflated egos, and sadistic requests. All of this will require you to cut (metaphorically speaking) through the red tape in their fight to restore balance between Heaven and Hell.
And much like the poem, the deeper the ring, the more severe the sin, and the higher level of authorization required.
The nine circles of Hell are, of course, sectioned into familiar corporate departments:
- LIMBO – Reception
- LUST – Human Resources
- GLUTTONY – Cafeteria
- GREED – Accounting
- WRATH – Customer Service
- HERESY – Marketing
- FRAUD – Legal
- VIOLENCE – Planning
- TREACHERY – Administration
