Red Awe is a short horror game where you take photos of a volcanic planet in the deep space to reveal out the conspiracy theory about a scientist.

Red Awe traps you in oppressive, claustrophobic environments where every sound and shadow weighs heavily on your nerves. With no weapons and no allies, your only tool is a malfunctioning, low-quality camera that flickers and distorts as you use it.
Your mission begins with a simple task: locate the data disk, insert it into the receiver, and use the camera to capture images of volcanic lakes. But the deeper you go, the clearer it becomes that this is no ordinary expedition. The lakes conceal a history, tied to the disappearance of a renowned scientist who ventured here before you and never returned.
Each image you take is not only a step closer to uncovering the truth, but also an invitation for whatever still lingers in the red awe to notice you. Patience and courage will be your only defenses as you navigate through the mystery of Red Awe.

A scientist who constantly observed and studied the planet Red Awe suddenly disappeared...
He had devoted his whole life to explore this planet. Some rumors claimed
that this planet was cursed and that the scientist was imprisoned there forever...
The biggest reason for these rumors was the strange eye drawings found in his room,
drawn over magma. He had written interesting texts and drawn a bizarre eye figure...
Some said he had gone insane, but this conspiracy theory was already on everyone’s lips...
After the public’s intense interest, pressure and curiosity
the space program sent another research scientist to this planet...
