The Red Ballet
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
We are at the fifth build of the horror visual novel The Red Ballet; currently at 123.000 words. The game will expand over time. (Some CGs in the game will be replaced in later builds. Loading a save prior to build 5 with a sprite on screen may cause issues.)
This game is only intended for adults, and content warnings can be found lower on this page.
Sid is a rat working a dead-end job at the corner store. But on the other side of the street is the ballet theatre, The Red Ballet. He dreams of being on that stage with the graceful ballerinas and ballerinos. But who would want to see a rat flail around his ugly tail?
His life starts to change when he meets Emilio - the easygoing goat stagehand - and the intimidating bear Misha, who runs the ballet.
In a world that does not look kindly on the big dreams of a small rodent, can Sid find his swan feathers? Or will he remain the simple prey the world tells him he is?
And can he survive the dance of The Red Ballet's sinister secrets?

So the game features specism, is that so?
It's an aspect of it. Particularly, it functions allegorically for class in this story.
This game looks absolutely amazing. I played a bit and already like the story.
Wish I could read, but it looks absolutely…
Badass😝
Fantastic. Love the writing and characters. Gave me strong Echo-vibes. Always a treat to find a VN like this.
Hey Yasha327… this is the only recent place I could find you at so I’m hoping you see this but, are you still developing your game or is it forever going to remain incomplete.
