Red Dwarf: The Interactive Video Game

Red Dwarf: The Interactive Video Game is a British point-and-click action adventure video game based on the British science-fiction sitcom Red Dwarf.

Written by Doug Naylor and produced by UKTV Media Ltd., it was released on September 22, 2020 to PC and Mac and later ported to the Nintendo Switch on May 5, 2021.

Playable Characters
Red Dwarf: The Interactive Video Game features the ability to play as all four of the main characters of the television show. They all have character-exclusive abilities that are necessary to solve certain puzzles and segments in the game.

Third Technician David 'Dave' Lister
Lister is the default playable character in the game. He is unique in the fact he can repair and fix most machinery when equipped with the proper tools usually scattered throughout the level or already available in the player's inventory.

He is, alongside the Cat, unable to access areas without oxygen or filled with toxic chemicals without dying. He is also the most vulnerable to direct attack as he processes no extra abilities and can die quickly when faced against numerous enemies. He is the most proficient pilot of the four, able to pilot every available aircraft in the game.

Like all four of the characters, his main weapon is the bazookoid; however he can also use his guitar as a secondary melee weapon.

Second Technician Arnold Judas Rimmer; BSc., SSc.
Rimmer is the secondary playable character in the game. He is unique in the fact he can switch from hard-light to soft-light; allowing him to pass through locked areas.

He is, alongside Kryten, susceptible to EMPs and other electronic-knocking hardware. He is invulnerable to direct attack, however he will never go one-on-one with an enemy in melee combat; when this occurs he will automatically switch to soft-light until the enemies have either been defeated or are out-of-range. He is usually the most convincing liar of the four and has great skill in passing speech-checks and dialogue trees.

Like all fours of the characters, his main weapon is the bazookoid; however he can also equip the smaller Mk2 variant which is more-weaker than the other but carries more ammunition. The Cat

Cat is the third playable character made available to the player in the game. He is unique in the fact he can crawl in-and-out of ventilation and can leap onto the ceiling of areas provided there is one.

He is, alongside Lister, unable to access areas without oxygen or filled with toxic chemicals without dying. He is the most combative of the four, able to perform melee attacks without the need of a weapon. However, he is the most unsuited for machinery repair, hacking, and general use of computers. He is also not the best character to pass peaceful speech-checks with; often refusing to lie and instead opting to attack.

Like all fours of the characters, his main weapon is the bazookoid; however, as mentioned previously, he can perform melee attacks without the need of a weapon. Kryten 2X4B 532P

Kryten is the fourth and last playable character made available in the game. He is unique in the fact he can upgrade himself; his melee, computer skills, and even the ability to have two lives through the use of spare heads are available through accumulated points awarded to the player as they progress through the game.

He is, alongside Rimmer, susceptible to EMPs and other electronic-knocking hardware. He is also difficult to pass speech-checks and dialogue trees with, as due to his great struggle to lie, he often fails them. He is also unable to kill or attack human enemies; however GELFs, Simulants, and other mechanical enemies are all fair game.

Like all four of the characters, his main weapon is the bazookoid; though he lacks additional weaponry he has the ability to heal the other three when he is with them.
