THE RED WEIGHT — DESCRIPTION
=============================

ONE-SENTENCE PITCH
------------------
A first-person arabesque noir narrative adventure set on Mars.


SHORT (one paragraph)
---------------------
A riotous journey into a noir narrative adventure set in Bab al-
Hadid, an underground Mars habitat in the late twenty-first
century. Arabs have come to colonize Mars. You play Fuad Al-Masry,
an Authority geologist fourteen months into a long rotation. One
night Authority security asks you to investigate a murder in a
service corridor at the scene of mysterious red dust. What you
find seems impossible. Can you carry the weight of another?


LONG
----
The Red Weight is a noir narrative adventure built on a single
unwelcome fact: in the dust around the body in Corridor Seven-Niner,
the spectrometry returns a mineral signature that has no business
being inside a sealed habitat, and no business existing on Mars
at all, not at this depth, not in this century. What Fuad reads in
his scanner is impossible. It is also undeniably there.

As Fuad, navigate the mystery and uncover the truth while enduring
the harsh Martian environment. Make allies, cross the wrong people,
but never step out under the sky that will kill you in three
minutes.

Great storms come to those of great resolve as the poet 
Al-Mutanabbi said.
