What is Redshirt?
Redshirt is a turn-based social simulation aboard the space station Megalodon-9, where you begin as a low-ranking cleanup worker. You use Spacebook to post updates, build friendships, and pursue romance while developing skills for promotions, with limited time to improve your standing before a looming disaster.
