Red Matter

Red Matter is a superb sci-fi quest set in an alternate near-future on one of Saturn's satellites.

Review

In the Red Matter setting, there is still a Cold War in which none of the opposing sides can prevail, both militarily and scientifically. The protagonist is an experienced astronaut who serves at the pleasure of the Atlantic Alliance (NATO).

The nations of the Western world are extending their influence into deep space and have colonized several satellites of Saturn. The purpose of this colonization is to conduct secret scientific research on red matter, a mysterious substance with hitherto poorly understood properties. Suddenly, communication with the research base on the satellite has been lost and the protagonist is sent there to find out what happened. 

Gameplay

Among the main gameplay features of the futuristic action Red Matter should be noted:

1. Incredibly beautiful virtual world, drawn in the spirit of the best sci-fi works.
2. Lack of combat mechanics and opponents as such - the gameplay is exclusively peaceful in nature.
3. Instead of battles, the player is offered to explore an almost entirely interactive world and also a huge variety of puzzles.
4. The ability to use fantastic mechanisms and gadgets to interact with the objects of the environment.
5. Unobtrusive storyline, which is not served directly - the user is obliged to find clues that can push him to the essence of what happened.
