關於此遊戲

「生活的亂麻蒼白無色，唯謀殺的猩紅之線貫穿其間。」 —— 柯南·道爾

《朱線》——墨的世界裡，只有一縷紅。
煤氣燈年代，虛構的北方海岸，桑克利夫莊園。三十年前，一位上校從戰火裡帶回一件他本不該碰的東西——聖物「赤縷」，一束紅得不像人間之物的編結絲線。三十年來，它鎖在匣中，繩纏火漆，無人得見。今夜，繼承人的成年禮上，這隻匣子終於要開了。

老派的公平推理。
以維多利亞感官小說的筆法講述：一位敘述者接著一位敘述者，一份文書接著一份文書。讀老管家誠實的日誌，比對全宅上下的證詞，把疑點釘上線板、用紅線把它們收緊——「線索」二字，本就從線上來。

屬於那個世紀的謎題。
沒有硬貼上去的小遊戲。每道謎都是維多利亞客廳裡真實存在過的玩物，也都有它非在故事裡不可的理由：晚宴上的韻文字謎、席次的尊卑安排、守著亡者聖物匣的解環鎖、以及那縷線本身的纏與解。

特性

• 1-bit·單專色——手工調校的抖動世界，紅只留給那一縷線

• 真·時代謎題——字謎、席次、貨真價實的解環鎖、繩與結的儀式

• 柯林斯式結構——多位敘述者、可回讀的證據、一塊紅線線板

• 三種結局——慈悲、法律、大海

• 先演罪行——序章把三十年前的那樁僭越，交到你手上

AI 生成內容聲明

開發者針對他們的遊戲使用 AI 生成內容方式的說明如下：

Some of this game's content was made with the help of generative AI tools:

Music — all musical cues were generated with Suno, then edited by hand (trimming, level-matching, loop points, dynamics).

Art — a number of background plates and figure elements began as AI-generated images. Every one was then worked by hand — desaturation, tonal grading, cut-out, retouching and compositing — before being rendered through the game's 1-bit dithering pipeline.

Localisation — the game ships in ten languages. Eight of them (Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian) were translated with the help of an AI language model and then checked in-engine.

No AI generation happens at runtime.

Named characters' faces are never AI-generated — their speaking portraits are baked from public-domain paintings.

成人內容說明

開發者表示產品內容如下：

The Scarlet Thread is a Victorian-style murder mystery. It contains non-graphic depictions of death (bodies rendered in 1-bit ink, with no blood or gore shown), descriptions of wartime violence, an off-screen killing, insinuated alcohol consumption, and a plot involving the covert administration of laudanum, a period medicine. No nudity, no sexual content, no profanity.
