Backstory;
A handful of tribal groups make peace after finding a special artifact allowing them to technologize their society. At a certain point the society
reaches a post-industrial stage and three races emerge: Human, Hybrid, and Robot. However due to imbalanced advantages of the racial differences the society based on work and innovation has its cohesion threatened.

Redaxium isn't going to be most people's cup of tea. But if you can leave your preconceptions at the door, you'll find yourself immersed in a singular experience from an idiosyncratic artist and developer. Is it strange? Is it clunky? Yes. It's also a genuine work of expression amidst a zeitgeist of inauthenticity. For that reason alone I recommend it.

I believe the there's just too much shit in this world. Whether it's video games or cereal, there are endless variations on the same few basic concepts. This has made us complacent: we stay squarely in the middle of our comfort zone, scared of the unknown, unwilling to explore the outer rims of this rosebud of life. Well how about for once you strap in, jack off, take a chance and head straight into the danger zone? Welcome to Redaxium, population: you. Perhaps you'll discover yourself there. Perhaps you'll discover that the game sucks. Does it really matter? Only one way to find out.
Redaxium is the uncompromising brain-child of a visionary solo developer formerly known as Prosper. I first got acquainted with Prosper some decades ago when he was getting started with 3D modelling. He has certainly come a long way since then, but where has he arrived? Has he arrived? I don't think anybody knows, really, but I'll try to describe the game a bit.
Redaxium is some sort of a RPG but it's unlike anything I've ever played. I've only played the game for maybe a few hours, and don't really understand anything about it. Besides I keep getting killed by rats. Everything looks bizarre and uncanny, nothing quite works as you'd expect it to work, all in all the whole experience is very surreal. Regardless of the developer's intentions, for me this game is nothing less than a work of art and I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth. Give it a try unless you're a chickenshit coward.
An unexamined life is not worth living, said some old coot, maybe it was Saint Proverbius. I think it's a load of horse shit really, life in general is not worth living, but Redaxium is definitely worth playing.

This game is obviously the work of a visionary auteur and/or lone madman. It is very much an acquired taste. It plays with about the same ease as piloting a nuclear submarine by yourself. It consists almost entirely of "unconventional" design elements. It promises a great experience for those who dare enter Redaxium with an open mind.

I promised an old friend I'd buy this and kept my word. It got me to turn on my steam deck so that's an amazing feat. I will never play the game but I'm sure it's a masterpiece. I rate it 13 and a half ham n cheese Hot Pockets out of 5 hydraulic spools.
