The Big Red Adventure is a point-and-click adventure taking place in Russia after Mikhail Gorbachev's Perestroika. You move your character over hand-drawn backgrounds, solving a big mystery that's taking place over an entire continent.

The story is split into three parts and in each part you control one of three characters in the game. You can play a nerdy looking guy, a brainless bodybuilder and a femme fatale.
