Redshirt
Redshirt is the comedy sci-fi sim about social networking aboard a space station, starring the station's most ambitious low-ranking peon: you! Navigate the professional and interpersonal politics of the ubiquitous "Spacebook" to curry favor among friends and colleagues. As intense intergalactic conflict rages around you, it's up to you to accrue those all-important "likes" on your status updates! Whether you're looking for love, opportunities for promotion, or even a chance to play Zero-G golf with the captain, you can schmooze your way through social circles and claw your way up the career ladder. Perhaps you too can finally achieve the dream of an off-station transfer, or even the Redshirt's opportunity of a lifetime: being sent on an away-mission!

I couldn't pull myself away from the addictive nature of Spacebook. But every time I check out a real-life status update, I'll be remembering Redshirt's digs at corporate culture and life in a cold, anonymous system. Redshirt was reviewed using downloadable code provided by The Tiniest Shark.

These are all the worst bits, of myself and of Facebook: the push towards less privacy, towards superficial relationships and walls of meaningless birthday greetings. Redshirt is a version of social media without, you know, the social part. It is the ultimate form of solipsism. If most life sims are imperfect reflections of life, Redshirt is, instead, an imperfect reflection of Facebook, itself an imperfect reflection of life. I am in a hall of mirrors and all I see is myself. Redshirt was developed by The Tiniest Shark and published by Positech Games.

Definitely worth a play if you like the idea of a Star Trek/Facebook parody game, but don’t expect any longevity from it. Now, make it online and fill the game with real people then you might just draw me back... Top Game Moment: Getting that juicy promotion to Bridge Turbolift Concierge.
