The Red PC

Prepare for an immersion into a mildly cynical first-person-shooter experience with tower-defense and adventure gaming elements that unveils the true essence of corporate exploitation. Embark on a journey as an unwittingly indentured security associate on Mars, trapped in the clutches of a heartless megacorporation demanding you work for peanuts defending their assets while occasionally trying to kill you for the insurance money. Your role? Collect and defend dirt. Literal, unadulterated dirt, from the ground. And before you assume there's a fun euphemistic meaning behind "dirt," -- perhaps corporate espionage? -- nope, think again!; it's plain ol' dirt. Fancy, astronomically-priced dirt, sure, but it's still just dirt. Yet, don't let that dampen your spirits because the pay is nothing short of extravagant. You'll get a slice of the pie for every ounce of soil you muster forth. Upon your triumphant return, assuming you survive, a generously meager fraction of your collected dirt's value will be transmuted into your earnings, and it will be a lot more than you'd ever have made on Earth. Quite possibly surpassing the net worth of your entire hometown. If, against all odds, you survive the scant days it takes to clear your debt, and provided you don't splurge at the company's convenience store, Earth will welcome you back, a wealthy dreamer. So, flash us that team-player smile, security associate! A few days of hard work on Mars, and, one way or the other, you'll never work again.

Players can expect to:

• Enjoy free coffee! (Note: charges may apply)
  
• Build and place a variety of turrets, light-walls, proximity mines, and energy shields at strategic locations to protect both main base and resource extraction points from waves of enemies.
  
• Use a variety of first-person weapons to help shore up defenses and personally protect high-value assets.
  
• Repair damaged extractors to keep the 'fab flowing.
  
• Use your extracted resources to build new extractors and use specialized equipment to determine optimal locations to place them based on resource density in the surrounding areas.
  
• Earn enough money to pay for a trip back home to Earth. Earn even more to live the good life when you get back home.
  
• Be in constant threat of danger at all times, from both the local wildlife who will rip out a player's lungs before they can scream, and from their employer who took out a hefty life insurance policy on them. Should have read the fine print, sucker!
  
• Have a pizza party every thursday! (Note: pizza parties may be canceled until further notice)

The game is easy to enjoy for its stress-relieving alien-murdering properties, but is extremely hard to win. It begins at a breakneck pace which eventually evolves into complete mayhem. There are horrifying secrets to discover if you're willing to break the rules, but you may not like what you find. Dying often is expected, even on the easiest difficulty. The hardest difficulty is intentionally unfair and quite possibly unbeatable. If you do survive, however, you will have earned more than you could have ever hoped to see in your entire lifetime. So, what are you waiting for? An application?
