Hello, travelers!

Development of Red Passport: Deported is in full swing. Hitchhiking from Vladivostok to Moscow without a penny in your pocket is a tough challenge. To brighten up the loneliness of the road, today I’ve added a major new feature to the game: a dog companion.

Where to find them?
You'll meet your future four-legged friend near the very beginning of your journey. Keep your eyes peeled once you reach the first village — that's where you'll find your loyal companion.

How does it work?
This isn't just a random NPC for a single scene. Once you meet in the village, the dog will tag along with your character and stay by your side for the rest of the game. Wandering along the roadsides, waiting for a ride, and hopping on freight trains will feel much less lonely now.

I am currently polishing the dog's behavior mechanics so that it looks natural in the game world and doesn't get in your way while you're exploring locations.

What do you think of this idea? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Don't forget to add the game to your wishlist — it really helps with development!

Hello, travelers! 🎒

It’s only been a few days since the release of the Red Passport: Deported demo, but I’ve already received a ton of great feedback from you. I’ve been watching your YouTube Let's Plays, carefully reading your reviews (including feedback from my previous game), and I immediately got to work.

Today I uploaded an update for the demo that will make your tough journey to Moscow a bit more enjoyable and realistic. So, what's new?

🛠️ No more "pixel-hunting"
Judging by your YouTube videos, many of you were spending way too much time searching for quest tools, staring into every dark corner. After all, this game is about the harsh romance of the road, not an eye exam!

That’s why I’ve added outlines/highlighting for key quest items (like the lug wrench in the screenshot). Now you’ll be able to complete your odd jobs faster and keep moving along your route.

👀 NPCs now react to youThe game world needs to feel alive. I’ve significantly overhauled the behavior of random passersby:

• Head tracking: Now, when you walk past NPCs, they will turn their heads and follow you with their eyes.

• Reaction to obstacles: Before, bots would just go about their business, ignoring the player. Now, if you stand in their way, they will realistically stop and wait for you to clear the path.

🚂 The update is live!Just update the demo on Steam, jump into the game, and test the new mechanics for yourself.

A huge thank you to everyone who shares their thoughts, makes videos, and supports the project. Your feedback is my main compass in development.
