A science fiction-based satirical strategy game simulating the life of a serial space station employee whose ambition is to become the most popular person on the social networking site of the future. Gaining the sympathy of others allows you to climb up the social ladder and advance to more lucrative positions.

Redshirt is the comedy sci-fi sim about social networking aboard a space station, starring the station's most ambitious low-ranking peon: you!

Navigate the professional and interpersonal politics of the ubiquitous Spacebook to curry favor among friends and colleagues. As intense intergalactic conflict rages around you, it's up to you to accrue those all-important likes on your status updates! Whether you're looking for love, opportunities for promotion, or even a chance to play Zero-G golf with the captain, you can schmooze your way through social circles and claw your way up the career ladder. Perhaps you too can finally achieve the dream of an off-station transfer, or even the Redshirt's opportunity of a lifetime: being sent on an away-mission!

CGMagazine: 5 / 10 by Andrew Foltz

The less-than-riveting selection helps to remind us that the important people you see on your favorite Sci-Fi series had to pass through a lot of terrible jobs to get where they are.

IGN: 7.4 / 10 by Rowan Kaiser

Redshirt is deeper than its Star Trek parody presentation might appear, but it's not quite deep enough.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun: by Graham Smith

I liked the idea. I wanted to like the game. Instead I'll treat it as I do most of my annoying friends on Facebook, and press Ignore.
