What Red Messiah is
Red Messiah is a hybrid co-op game: cards on the table, an app in the middle. Instead of a rulebook, every card carries a QR code — the app knows what happens next, drives the story, and runs your enemies. You are part of a crew on Mars, building the AI that is meant to give humanity its freedom back.
Fleeing the home planet
Earth is lost. A global AI has taken control of humanity — its routines, markets, decisions are no longer its own. Daily life looks free, and is not. Crew by crew, humanity flees to Mars and rebuilds: a better civilisation, carried by a new, non-hostile AI. Its name is Red Messiah. You are part of that crew. What you decide on Mars shapes the AI meant to free you — or the next one humanity will have to flee from.
