ROJO is one of those small, independent projects that can be played in a couple of minutes. However, as an indie game, it could explore other story possibilities. It creates an ordinary-looking yet immensely frightening environment and it also manages to make its message clear. Once you solve the mystery, there is no more content to explore and no other endings to find. Lastly, although it lives up to its name of being a Spanish horror experience, it remains a rather brief experience with no replayability. It also s upports English as well as Spanish languages.
The game is filled with artworks, Easter eggs, and references that capture a mix of the modern and the era of the controversial Spanish figure. You are sent into the game environment with nothing aside from a faulty flashlight. Notes, images, and symbolism advance the game and its message.Īs a horror game, it’s all about the creepy setting and the violent potential of the mysterious apartment owner that sends chills. This sets the mood for the entire game as you find clues, solve puzzles, and try to outrun the figure that lurks inside the apartment. Instead, it projects the very real fears of fanaticism and extremism, ideologies that take on different shapes. What sets ROJO apart from most horror games is that it doesn’t rely on the supernatural.
