Long live the New Flesh!

New Flesh was just reborn in Red!

Enter the dystopian world of New Flesh, a future-noir roleplaying game where cyberpunk meets biological horror in the neon-drenched streets of Interzone. Set in then near future, when corporate power runs unchecked, this game draws inspiration from the works of William S. Burroughs, David Cronenberg, and other masters of transgressive fiction.

New Flesh embraces the surreal and visceral, biotechnology reigns supreme over chrome and

steel, transforming human bodies into corporate commodities. Underground labs conduct forbidden experiments, pleasure dens offer metamorphic experiences, and reality itself distorts in the wake of chimeric entities. In this haunting setting, player characters inhabit a world where flesh warps at corporate whim, consciousness fragments across biological interfaces, and survival demands moral compromise.

Note: If you purchased the previous Wretched versions of New Flesh you should have received an email with a code to get the product for free at the Red Room store. If for some reason you did not, reach out to us.

The End of Innocence – Released!


Quite possibly the least expected genre to come from The Red Room, a kids game!


Step into that golden moment between childhood and what comes after. Bike rides at dusk, secret clubhouses, and mysteries that grown-ups can’t quite see. Experience adventures in sun-soaked San Cristobal Bay or autumn-touched Oakbrook, where the supernatural whispers behind everyday life.

This d20 RPG captures that Bradbury-esque feeling of standing at summer’s end, when anything seems possible and magic still lives in the corners of the world.

Gothic – RELEASED

Gothic was just released, still in time for Halloween!

In gas-lit streets, behind the elegant façades of Victorian manors, and deep within the misty forests of the countryside, darkness lurks. In this game, science and superstition collide, the ghosts of the past refuse to rest, and madness is always a risk. Gothic draws its inspiration from 19th-century literature and the enduring legacy of gothic horror in literature, cinema and the small screen (328 pages). You can find it at the Red Room store and it will be soon available in print at Luludotcom.

Uncharted Seas: Released

Embark on a journey to the edge of the known world and beyond with Uncharted Seas, a role-playing game that takes you into the heart of the Age of Discovery. As the 15th century wanes and the 16th dawns, the maps of Europe end in conjecture and myth, their edges adorned with sea monsters and whispered legends:

Hic sunt dracones.
Here be dragons.

Built upon the framework of the Red game system, Uncharted Seas’ mechanics were tailored to the unique challenges of maritime exploration and exploration of the unknown world. As intrepid explorers, player characters navigate treacherous waters, facing both realistic maritime challenges and fantastical encounters. The game’s mechanics cover navigation, resource management, crew morale, naval combat, while also incorporating elements of the supernatural and mythical, such as miracles and alchemy.

Drawing inspiration from Luís Vaz de Camões’ epic poem The Lusiads, the game blends historical figures and events with legendary creatures and mystical locations. Players might cross paths with famous explorers like Vasco da Gama or seek out fabled lands like El Dorado. The possibilities are vast, ranging from uncovering historical mysteries like the fate of the Roanoke Colony to confronting mythical beings such as Adamastor, the spirit of the Cape of Good Hope.
