About "Red Spider: Vengeance Remastered"

The first entry in the series, Red Spider: Vengeance (Remastered), is also available now on Steam.

Just like this game, the full story and all endings of the first title are completely free to play.

About This Demo

Some lives were never meant to be saved. 
A full-scale Hong Kong Noir cinematic novel told through over 1,000 visual cuts.

A hardboiled, fully voiced visual novel set in Hong Kong and Thailand in 2007. While this game serves as a prequel to the 2014-set Red Spider: Vengeance, it is structured as a standalone story and can be fully enjoyed by newcomers to the series.

Features

The Outcomes of Destiny Are Unalterable

Uncompromising violence, love, hate, and betrayal. This work is a heavy, mature noir piece reminiscent of masterpiece Hong Kong movies. Featuring a "pure multi-story" structure with almost no common routes, the narrative branches off into completely different directions based on the chosen partner. Whichever path you choose, the "fatal destiny" of those who cross paths with the protagonist, Lycoris(Yvet), remains unchanged. Within this inescapable doom, her karma as an assassin and her way of life are relentlessly exposed.

The Defining Moment Where a Cold Bond Is Born

What is revealed at the end of these harsh battles is the "origin" of the entire saga—why she, a former assassin, and Yongxiao—two individuals from completely different worlds—came to choose each other as unique partners. Discover with your own eyes how they gazed into each other's darkness and forged an inseparable bond.

Cinematic Full-Still Presentation

Traditional character sprites have been replaced with over 1,000 dynamic visual cuts and fluid camera work, delivering a highly immersive, movie-like experience.

A Feature-Length Story Tracking Six Destinies

Your choices branch into six distinct character routes (Wolf, Zhang Lei, Sam, Chase, Lai, Francis), each revealing the cruel truths behind the incidents from a different perspective.

A Gem of a Soundtrack

A beautiful, atmospheric score composed by Yasunori Shiono (Lufia series) and Yukio Nakajima (Puzzle & Dragons) perfectly colors this world of blood and gunpowder.

"CYCLOPEDIA" feature full of love for Hong Kong cinema

Filled with homages to countless Hong Kong noir classics. Through the "CYCLOPEDIA," which unlocks as you progress, you can enjoy the deep charm of Hong Kong cinema by exploring the explanations of the homages scattered throughout the story.

A Fruit of Passion from Solo Development

Fusing 3D modeling with digital art, this cinematic drama represents a single developer's passion pushing the boundaries of visual novels.

*In this game (Demo / Free ver.), you can play through the entire story and experience all endings.

Story

Set in 2007. Lycoris, a cold-blooded assassin raised in the underworld organization "Spider Web," is ordered to eliminate her acquaintance, a police officer named Lai. Instead, she defies the order, kills the client—Lai's superior, Lau Kin-ming—and goes on the run from the organization.

With Lai's help, she finds refuge with the triad syndicate "Red Flower Society." Arranged by their leader, Yeung Kwun, she flees to Thailand. But her past refuses to let her go.

Zhang Lei, the head of a rival syndicate who knows her tragic past. Wolf, her fellow assassin and soulmate who shares her darkness. And the relentless police force closing in on all of them.

Set across Thailand and Hong Kong, the blood-soaked fates of those living in the underworld intertwine. For a woman who could only ever live as an assassin, what kind of fate will she choose at the end of this endless cycle of bloodshed (karma)?

Characters

Lycoris (later Yvet)

A cold-blooded assassin raised within the assassin organization "The Web". After murdering her client, she flees to "The Red Flower Society" and escapes to Thailand. However, behind her advanced IT knowledge and combat skills lies a hidden, horrific childhood memory. Her reunion with Zhang Lei, the head of the "Hung Hing" syndicate, triggers a turbulent drama.

Wolf

Lycoris's soulmate who grew up alongside her in the assassin organization since childhood. He is the one whose "soul is closest to her," yet he possesses a nihilistic indifference to life, carrying a dangerous edge that makes him casually risk his life.

Zhang Lei

The head of the criminal organization, the "Hung Hing" syndicate, and a solitary emperor who continues to walk a lonely path. He was once a KTV customer who frequented Lycoris, and at the same time, he is a man of deep karma intimately connected to the deaths of her parents. Beneath his ruthless demeanor, he secretly cares for her well-being.

Sam

An officer at the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. Lai's colleague, tasked with investigating the murder of Lau Kin Ming. He possesses high deductive skills and a mysterious ability to see into the true nature of people. Noticing what lies behind Lycoris's cold mask, he finds himself torn between his duty as a detective and his awareness.

Chase

An officer at the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. An intellectual detective and colleague of Lai who is investigating the Lau Kin Ming murder case. In reality, he is a mole embedded deep within the police force by the "Hung Hing" syndicate. Due to past events, he harbors a fierce distrust of women, but as he involves himself with Lycoris—who is unlike any other woman—his emotions begin to shift.

Lai

An aloof and good-natured police officer. He is Lycoris's benefactor, struggling to rescue her from the darkness of the underworld. While pursuing the truth behind the case, he closes in on the darkness within the police department, making a grave decision near the end of the story.

Francis

The son of The Red Flower Society's leader. He had kept his distance from the organization, living in the straight world. Initially harboring a strong aversion to Yvet as a member of the underworld, he gradually finds himself drawn to her as he gets entangled in her cruel fate, ultimately making a shocking choice.
