About

Gunsmoke, Neon, and Betrayal. A Hardboiled Revenge Story Dedicated to Classic Hong Kong Cinema.

Hong Kong, 2014—a city teeming with passion and conspiracy. The protagonist, Yvet, is a former assassin and now the wife of the Triad leader of the "Red Flower Society" organization in Kowloon. After her husband is suddenly attacked, the lone avenger finds herself isolated within the organization. Armed only with her old "killing skills" and a few trusted companions, she embarks on a solitary war against the ruthless culprits.

This game is a completely free, fully voiced visual novel created by an indie developer from Japan, made with deep affection for Hong Kong cinema.

A Solo-Developed Passion Project

A single developer handled the planning, writing, system implementation, and direction, bringing together a cast of 19 voice actors for full voice acting and a legendary composer's original score to create this cinematic drama that pushes the boundaries of the visual novel genre.

Key Features

Unraveling the Truth from Multiple Perspectives

The story branches based on the partner you choose. A character whose true intentions were initially elusive may be revealed in another route as someone driven by a profound, hidden motive. Only by completing all six routes will the true "full picture" of the incident be unveiled.

A Hong Kong Noir Film You Can "Read"

Francis

When I chose Yvet, I was prepared to accept everything about her, including any past I didn't know about.

Yvet's husband. He had pursued a legitimate career as a lawyer, but after his father Yang Kun's death, he reluctantly took over as chairman of the Red Flower Society at Yvet's request to quell the succession chaos. He was aware of Yvet's past and made it a condition of his succession that she become his wife. The attack on him reignites the succession struggle.

A Message from the Voice Cast

To all the "Red Spider" fans, it's been a while.
I'm Mizuho Kuzuhara, the voice of Francis.
I've been the voice of Francis since "Red Spider 2," so the original was the only one that wasn't me.
Because of that, I had always hoped that if I ever got the chance, I'd like to play the Francis from the original game.
Just then, around the end of 2024, Kelly-san contacted me about producing a remastered version and asked if I would be the voice of Yongxiao for the original.

"I finally get to play the original Francis!" I jumped at the chance immediately.
To prepare for this recording, I replayed the original "Red Spider" (mainly the Francis route), and I thought to myself, "for such a bloody story, it has a lot of romance."
I tried to be a little conscious of that aspect during the recording.
I hope you will enjoy my take on Francis.

The Ghost

You seem quite accustomed to dealing with the police. ......Please be careful not to provoke them too much.

He has served the family since Yang Kun's time. Highly loyal to the organization, he views Yvet with suspicion as she assumes the role of acting chairwoman. To strengthen Yvet's security amidst the succession dispute, he calls in the Luk brothers.

A Message from the Voice Cast

Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Eugene, and I will be voicing the character The Ghost starting with the Red Spider:Vengeance Remastered edition.

I have been given the honor of taking over a main role with a previous actor in the long-running "Red Spider" series.
I felt the pressure of inheriting a role from fans who already have a certain voice in mind from playing the past games, but I was able to enjoy the recording process while bringing my own style to the character.
In fact, if you think of it as being able to enjoy two different versions, doesn't that mean double the fun?
You can enjoy the differences by playing the remastered version first and then the original, and for those who have played the original, you can enjoy the new Ghost that I portray.
I poured my soul into this performance, and I look forward to your support.

There was a scene that left an impression on me during the recording, which I think became a point I focused on. It's the scenes where he makes several phone calls.
I was conscious of trying to convey the subtle difference between talking face-to-face and over the phone, so the phone scenes are my personal recommendation.

Well then, until next time.
Thank you very much.
Yvet's old acquaintance and a detective

Lai

This time, I want to be the one to keep that light burning. I don't want to let you go back to the world of shadows.

He was formerly a police officer. Yvet once saved his life, and out of gratitude, he assists in investigating the attack. He is wary of the Ghost, who seems to be hiding something from Yvet.

A Message from the Voice Cast

To those I'm meeting for the first time, and to those I'm not, hello.
I'm Mettan, and I had the pleasure of playing the role of Lai.
I am honored to say that with this game, I have now voiced Lai in all of the "Red Spider" titles.
This is the performance I'm most confident in to date, so I would be delighted if you enjoy it.

Luk

If you truly become a beast that lives by sipping blood, I will take responsibility and put you down.

Yvet's security detail, summoned by the Ghost. He possesses a trained physique, calm judgment, and high combat capabilities. However, he is less adept with modern IT technology and relies solely on his younger brother, Shawn, for information gathering. He was once part of the same assassination organization as Yvet.

Shawn

You told me not to kill people recklessly, but you have no intention of giving up that way of life yourself?

While not highly skilled in combat, he excels at information gathering using the internet. Cracking servers with weak security and developing information-gathering viruses are second nature to him.

However, he fell under suspicion of plotting Francis's assassination upon the former chairman's death, which subsequently diminished his standing within the Red Flower Society.

A Message from the Voice Cast

Everyone, it's been far too long. This is my first appearance since "Red Spider 3."
My name is Shusen Masaru, and I am the voice of Dog Head.
The remastered version of "Red Spider:Vengeance," a visual novel that wonderfully embodies the spirit of Hong Kong noir, has finally been announced!
This is a masterpiece that was nominated for the Doujin Game of the Year in 2014.
It was later updated with voice acting and has since spawned numerous sequels and side stories.
By depicting the Hong Kong underworld through the eyes of a female protagonist, this work masterfully re-imagines the genre while establishing its own unique identity.
And above all, it is filled with the creator's pure love for Hong Kong cinema.
I hope you will enjoy this title, which has been brushed up in both its visuals and direction.
