Get ready to be rebooted by a heartwarming (with a hint of laser blast!) adventure in The Redundant. Developer 7Gizmo is delighted to announce a new action-adventure game that puts you into the metallic boots of CF5, a darling little robot (well, not so little – he’s kind of bulky in a totally adorable way) who has been left behind in a mysterious facility.
But fear not! CF5 isn’t letting a little planned obsolescence hold him back. When a nasty virus starts turning his fellow robots into rusty, rampaging menaces, CF5 knows what he has to do. As the pint-sized robot fights for his life, the darkness at the heart of the virus will be laid bare.
As CF5, you’ll explore the facility whilst fending off hordes of killer bots, using an innovative mix of CPU upgrades, an energy drainer, and bombs. Or, if you’re more Wall-E than Terminator, embrace pacifism by making use of The Redundant’s stealth options and sneak through the game’s ominous factory setting undetected.
“We were inspired to create a game that combined exciting action with a story that tugs at the heartstrings,” says 7Gizmo. “CF5 might be a bit outdated, but he’s full of surprises and his determination to save the day is truly inspiring.”
Set in 2073, The Redundant is an action-adventure game. Sneak or fight your way around the facility, uncover its secrets, and isolate each section from the network — before it’s too late!
- Blast your way through infected robots with a variety of exciting tactics
- Become a master of stealth, using the shadows to your advantage and avoiding detection.
- Think like a brilliant inventor! Manage your resources and overcome obstacles with creative problem-solving.
- Expose the sinister truth lurking behind the facility and the origins of the virus.
- Battle mysterious bosses guarding the web of deceit surrounding the unleashed contagion.
Developer 7Gizmo are excited to unveil their flagship title to gamers worldwide. “The Redundant is the showpiece game from our studio, a story-driven experience that implements dynamic mechanics to create unique experiences,” says 7Gizmo. “It’s been a labor of love for us and we can’t wait for players to experience the heartwarming story and exciting gameplay firsthand.”
The Redundant will release on Steam in November 2024, with a demo landing in Steam NextFest’s October edition.
