- A comic cooperative puzzle where you find matching wires and dismantle within a time limit
- Defusing bombs throughout the city in cooperation with 2–4 players… Voice chat and teamwork are key.
Sun Storm Studio, an indie game developer based in Warsaw, Poland, has officially announced its new cooperative puzzle game , ‘Red Wire’ .
‘Red Wire’ is an online cooperative game where 2 to 4 players form a team to defuse bombs planted throughout the city. Played from a first-person 3D perspective, the game distinguishes itself from existing games by utilizing the player’s ‘voice’ as the key tool for bomb disposal instead of conventional equipment.
Wires that must be cut in pairs, and a race against time.
The game takes place in a city planted with bombs by an unidentified supervillain. Within a time limit, players must locate electrical panels placed throughout the city and then find and cut two matching wires.
However, naturally, the wire display methods on all panels are not the same. Some wires are obscured by question marks, and in some cases, paired wires are scattered across different panels.
Players must move around the city, check the information on each panel, and communicate the location and characteristics of the wires to their teammates via microphone. Therefore, voice chat and teamwork serve as key elements of puzzle solving, as they must accurately listen to their teammates’ explanations and coordinate their information.
In particular, since there are more electrical panels than players in each level, it is difficult for a single person to keep track of the entire situation. Because an explosion occurs the moment the wrong wire is cut, it is crucial to quickly share information and make decisions within a limited time.
Even if you fail a mission, you can try again. The game progresses by coordinating with teammates through repeated play.
The key is voice chat… Comedy co-op where you can laugh even when it explodes
While ‘Red Wire’ deals with the tension of bomb defusal, its overall atmosphere focuses on comedy. It aims for lighthearted and enjoyable cooperative gameplay through the premise that players do not actually get hurt even if the bomb explodes and the entire team fails.
A single game round is expected to last from a few minutes to about 10 minutes, and it appears to feature short session-centered gameplay where players can enjoy multiple rounds in a row with friends.
The core mechanism highlighted by the developer is “voice chat.” Designed so that players must cooperate and frantically exchange information with teammates to defuse the bomb, the game constantly unfolds with unexpected situations and hilarious comic scenes that provoke laughter.
Along with this, humorous interactions were also arranged throughout the area, such as using signs to push away citizens blocking the city streets.
