What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Red Chair is a case-solving game that gets better with real investigations: how players interpret clues, share notes, and reach conclusions together.

Early Access lets us refine the core investigation loop—evidence clarity, pacing, case variety, and replayability—based on community feedback.

You won’t just play new cases as they arrive; you’ll help us shape how cases are presented, how conclusions are reached, and which features make each investigation feel fair, tense, and satisfying.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re aiming for an Early Access period of around 6 months. This is a goal, not a guarantee.

We’ll move to full release when the game meets our quality targets: stable online play, a stronger variety of cases, and a consistently satisfying investigation experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access includes the core experience: investigating cases with friends, analyzing evidence, and solving mysteries together.

For full release, we plan to expand and polish this core with:
- More cases and higher scenario variety
- Improved case presentation (clue readability, flow, and resolution clarity)
- More roles / options where they meaningfully support the investigation
- Ongoing improvements to balance, UI/UX, and replayability based on feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Red Chair is already playable end-to-end. You can jump into online cases with friends, investigate, compare findings, and reach a conclusion.

The current version focuses on delivering a solid foundation: core case flow, cooperative investigation, and a satisfying ‘connect-the-clues’ experience. We’ll keep improving stability, clarity, and content throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Red Chair is available at a lower price during Early Access. As we add more content and improvements toward full release, we plan to increase the price accordingly.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll gather feedback through Discord, polls, and regular update posts.

We’ll prioritize community input on: case clarity, difficulty tuning, pacing, online stability, and which new case types players want next.”

About This Game

Will you trust your instincts or the evidence?

Red Chair is an online case-solving game for 2–6 players. Choose a case, investigate scenes, study reports and statements, analyze evidence with your tools, and piece together the truth as a team.
But in every investigation, misdirection is possible so conclusions are only as strong as the evidence behind them.

How to Play?

  • Choose a case new cases are added regularly.

  • Pick your equipment to support the investigation.

  • Read the case files: reports, statements, and scene materials.

  • Analyze evidence using your tools and compare findings with your team.

  • Discuss your theory: connect contradictions, confirm timelines, and narrow suspects.

  • Submit the case with the correct evidence and reasoning.


Choose Your Equipment!

Before each case, select the tools you’ll bring. Every item has a cost, so planning matters.

The right equipment can reveal details others miss and help your team validate what’s real.

Analyze the Evidence

Every case includes evidence collected from the scene. Your job is to examine it carefully, cross-check reports, and build a consistent theory.

Some tools give faster insights, others provide deeper confirmation. The key is connecting clues into a solid conclusion.


Stay Sharp!

In Red Chair, rushing to judgment is the fastest way to lose the case. Pay attention to details, question inconsistencies, and keep your notes aligned.

When tension rises, the table can turn chaotic but evidence still wins.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

"Red Chair uses AI-assisted tools (such as ChatGPT and Midjourney) during development.
AI was used to help generate story materials, detective case files, and narrative texts, as well as some promotional artworks and store capsules.
All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by our writing and art team before being included in the game.
No gameplay logic, detective mechanics, or interactive features were generated by AI."

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

During gameplay, cases may involve crimes related to violence, sexuality, or the use of prohibited substances, depending on the scenario. Participation in such cases is entirely at the player’s discretion.
