(Update [2019-05-17] - a major new release - the Traumatic Update! Follow development via the posts on this page, or on my blog, or follow me on Twitter!)
(Also, I have a Patreon now, so if you really like The Red Market please consider becoming my patron!)
The Red Market is a narrative, text-based monster hunting, trading, breeding, and eating simulator:
Choose one of five characters with unique benefits (e.g. influence with high society as a result of your loveless cage of a marriage to a local captain of industry) and drawbacks (e.g. an empty, ravenous void where your humanity once was).Send out expeditions to capture dangerous and disquieting monsters.Cook them into disquieting dishes.Cross-breed them into arguably yet more disquieting offspring.Sell them for profit, or else be crushed, gored, dissolved, enveloped, consumed, or hollowed out and inhabited by them in turn; your limbs moving at their command; their eyes looking out through your own. Made in Inkle's amazing narrative scripting language 'Ink'. It's currently mid-development, with new major updates going live every fortnight.
