Developer BlareByte announced CLEAR RED, a roguelike action game for PC via Steam with no release date. Players defend an underground missile base from alien attacks, mining resources to power defenses, crafting equipment, and ultimately launching an ICBM to destroy the alien mothership. The game draws inspiration from Metro 2033, Deep Rock Galactic, Amnesia: The Bunker, Dome Keeper, and the first Alien film.
BlareByte's CLEAR RED puts players in a Cold War-era underground missile base under siege by aliens. The goal is to launch an ICBM at the invading mothership, but doing so requires two launch keys hidden somewhere in the base, and the aliens send waves of attackers to stop it.
Between assaults, players mine voxel-based underground deposits with a drill, gathering resources like coal to fuel generators that power lights, radar, and turrets. Crafting lets players build new drills and turrets from blueprints found in the base, and resources also repair damaged equipment. Mutated miners roam the tunnels and react to noise, adding a stealth element to the mining phases.
