graphics4 positive mentions
stability3 negative mentions
  • The game has an interesting concept and potential for a unique narrative, particularly with its twist on the classic fairy tale.
  • The graphics, especially the village at night, are visually appealing and create an engaging atmosphere.
  • Some character designs are well-received, and the music adds a pleasant touch to the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from poor execution, with buggy textures, low-quality models, and a lack of polish that detracts from the experience.
  • Many players find the use of AI-generated content to be off-putting and lacking in authenticity, leading to a disconnection from the game.
  • The story is criticized for being underdeveloped and the main character unlikable, which diminishes player engagement.
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the art style and specific elements like the village at night, while others criticize the overall quality, describing it as low and inconsistent, with issues such as poorly designed NPCs and a reliance on asset flips. Many reviewers express hope for improvements in future updates, suggesting that the game has potential if graphical issues are addressed.

    • “I like the art style and really loved how the village looked, especially at night with the lights showing in the windows and the torches.”
    • “Great graphics, but walking is made a bit difficult by the level of vision; otherwise, I would have liked to see where this was heading.”
    • “I know so far this has been mostly negative, with reason, but I genuinely think the game could be good if it gets more stories added, the graphics get fixed, and in general the game just gets developed.”
    • “The graphics aren't great, AI slop, and everything else is either horribly low quality or just your usual asset flips and plagiarism from the looks of it.”
    • “To top it off, there’s random AI art slapped in, which matches the aesthetic like pineapple on pizza—except worse, because I actually like pineapple on pizza.”
    • “The graphics are very poor - terrible NPC figures and these blue men for characters you can interact with.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has been criticized for being simplistic and lacking depth, primarily rehashing the Little Red Riding Hood tale with minimal twists that fail to engage. Reviewers noted that the main character's development feels flat, and the overall narrative is described as silly and poorly executed, leaving much to be desired in terms of enjoyment and coherence.

    • “And that the main character changes in the story.”
    • “The story is a tad bare-bones, just being Little Red Riding Hood with some twists, namely the hunter being with the grandpa, and the big bad wolf knowing this isn't how the story is meant to play out, which does have potential.”
    • “The story has potential but it seems like they're going for a collection of short stories.”
    • “I read other reviews about the story path, and I have to agree that having Red be selfish really fell flat.”
    • “The story is a tad bare-bones, just being Little Red Riding Hood with some twists, namely the hunter being with the grandpa, and the big bad wolf knowing this isn't how the story is meant to play out. It does have potential, but it seems like they're going for a collection of short stories, so I don't really know.”
    • “The story was silly and poorly written too.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it enjoyable and catchy, others criticize it for lacking atmosphere and becoming repetitive. Overall, it seems to be the standout feature amidst a generally disappointing experience, with suggestions to release the soundtrack separately.

    • “The music choices were wonderful as well.”
    • “This game is a mess, but at least the music slaps.”
    • “It’s not spooky or atmospheric; it’s just there, like elevator music in purgatory.”
    • “Honestly, just release the soundtrack and call it a day.”
    • “Sound-wise, it's just placeholder stuff (I assume... hopefully), so I won't say too much about it, but hearing the start of the same song over and over again when you start a different scene gets annoying fast.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is perceived as lackluster and uninspiring, likened to mundane elevator music rather than an engaging or immersive experience.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been criticized for buggy textures and unattractive models, leading to a visually unpleasant experience. While these issues are deemed fixable, many players feel that a simpler overworld design could have significantly improved overall stability.

    • “Buggy textures, ugly models, and colors that make my eyes hurt. It's not unfixable, but a simpler overworld would have been so much better.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I encountered numerous glitches that disrupted gameplay, which really detracted from my overall enjoyment.”
