What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“RED FLAG is a game about people, their decisions, and their behavior under stress.
The best way to make it feel truly alive is to let players influence the development process.

We want to launch the game in Early Access so we can gather feedback, test mechanics, scenarios, and balance, and work together with the community to shape the game into something as engaging and unpredictable as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to continue developing the game in Early Access as we add new content and improve existing systems.

We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months, depending on the scope of future updates, player feedback, and how close the game comes to our vision for the full release.”

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

“We plan to gradually add new catastrophe scenarios, each with its own conditions and survival challenges. The game will include more character traits, events, and varied situations that affect the course of each match and the decisions players make.

We also plan to expand the meta-ability system, deepen the endgame mechanics, and continue refining the balance based on player behavior and community feedback.

And of course, the cockroaches will be getting their treats too ;)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, RED FLAG already offers a complete core gameplay experience. Players can take part in multiplayer sessions, communicate through voice chat, reveal information about their characters, discuss what is happening, and make decisions through the voting system.

The game already includes the initial Early Access scenarios, events that affect the condition of the shelter, and endgame mechanics that determine the outcome of each match.”

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

“We do NOT plan to increase the price as new content is added and the game’s features expand.”

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

“We want to build the game together with our players.

We plan to gather feedback and suggestions, discuss ideas for new scenarios and mechanics, and grow the community through Discord and Reddit.

It is important to us that players do not just play the game, but directly influence what RED FLAG becomes.”

About This Game

🚩 RED FLAG 🚩

A global catastrophe has struck the world. A small group of survivors has taken shelter in an isolated bunker, but there are not enough resources for everyone. Take your seat at the negotiation table and present yourself in a way that convinces the others that you deserve to stay.

Lie, pressure, manipulate, and decide who gets thrown out.

🔻 HOW THE GAME WORKS 🔻

Welcome!

You find yourself sitting at a table with other survivors, from 4 to 12 players.

Everyone has hidden information about their character: their pre-catastrophe profession, skills, phobias, and much more.

Starting Circumstances

At the beginning of the match, the system will explain the circumstances of the catastrophe and the group's current objectives inside the shelter.

Keep this context in mind when making your case, as useful traits may affect the final outcome.

Character Reveal

During the first round, your profession is revealed along with several traits of your choice. Share your information wisely and explain why you deserve to remain in the shelter.

Tell the truth, hide inconvenient details, or turn a useless trait into your greatest advantage.

Discussion

After everyone has revealed their information, players can argue, ask questions, and choose a candidate for elimination.

Still Unsure?

During the first round, players can vote to skip the elimination. Raise your hand before the timer runs out.

If the elimination is skipped, two players will have to leave the shelter during the next round. If the majority does not support skipping, the readiness bar for the normal vote will appear.

Voting

When the discussion ends, voting begins. Someone must leave the shelter.

The remaining players continue until only half of the original group is left.

Life-Support Systems

You will need to watch not only the other players, but also the condition of the shelter. As the game progresses, its life-support systems gradually begin to fail.

Every event changes the conditions of survival and can completely turn the game around!

Finale

The rounds continue until the shelter reaches the permitted number of survivors.

During the finale, the system determines whether the remaining group can survive. The outcome depends on the condition of the shelter, professions, skills, health, and even the traits players kept hidden.

Getting into the shelter does not guarantee victory.

And do not worry: even if you made the wrong choice, the cockroaches will survive anyway!!!

🔻 CATASTROPHE LOCATIONS 🔻

Nuclear Fallout Shelter

The world has been destroyed by nuclear war. The surface is contaminated with radiation, cities have been wiped away, and mutated creatures roam outside the shelter.

Going outside means almost certain death.

But not everyone inside the shelter will survive either.

Space Station

An unknown threat came from space. Attempts to save the planet failed, and the remnants of humanity were evacuated to orbital stations.

What exactly destroyed Earth remains unclear.

But if the same mistake happens again, there will be no escape.
