Red Spider: Vengeance Remastered is a fully voiced visual novel set in Hong Kong in 2014. After Francis, leader of the Red Flower Society in Kowloon, is attacked and left with no hope of regaining consciousness, his wife Yvet—a former assassin—takes on the role of acting chairwoman. She must navigate a succession struggle, direct her bodyguards and a trusted detective, and uncover who was behind the attack.

Story and characters

Yvet was orphaned as a child and trained in assassination techniques by Spiderweb. After escaping the organization, she was sheltered by Yeung Kwun, the former chairman of the Red Flower Society, and married his son Francis. Francis had pursued a career as a lawyer, but took over the society after his father’s death to calm the succession dispute. The attack on him renews the struggle for power, as ambitious executives scheme and the Hong Kong Police plan to intervene in the investigation.

Yvet’s allies and opponents include the society’s bodyguard, the Ghost, who is suspicious of her; Lai, a former police officer and detective whom Yvet once saved; and the Luk brothers, summoned by the Ghost to protect her. Luk is a capable fighter who once belonged to Spiderweb, while his younger brother Shawn specializes in gathering information online. Dog Head, a society executive and fighter once trusted by its members, falls under suspicion of plotting Francis’s assassination after Yeung Kwun dies. He has a son, Johnny, with his deceased wife.
