  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beautiful artwork and atmospheric design, particularly the folk art style set in a mysterious forest. While the visuals are considered the standout feature, some players noted that the horror elements do not seamlessly integrate with the overall aesthetic. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's charm and enjoyment.

    • “Set in an atmospheric forest, the game combines folk art styles with mystery.”
    • “The graphics are just gorgeous!”
    • “The artwork was fanciful, and the animation fun.”
    • “The graphics are pretty, but the scene exit button can sometimes be a pain to see.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is centered around a child seeking revenge for their father's death at the hands of a dark wolf, blending elements of cute and horror. While some players appreciate the narrative and its integration with puzzles, others find it obscure and confusing, detracting from the overall experience. The game's lack of clarity and visual cues further complicates the storytelling, leading to mixed reviews on its effectiveness.

    • “The story revolves around a child whose father was killed by a dark wolf.”
    • “This game was a beautiful puzzle game; it was easy to follow and had an amazing story.”
    • “Just when I thought I had completed the game, there was another final section and then another few scenes taking you back to where your quest began in order to put the world right and tie up any loose ends.”
    • “The story is extremely obscure, trying to find a balance between cute and horror.”
    • “The puzzles themselves seemed just as unusual as the story.”
    • “Ultimately, I found the story weird (not in a good way) and it tested my patience with its lack of a hint option and obscure puzzles.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is characterized by its repetitive nature and abrupt transitions, lacking proper fading or length, which disrupts the flow of cut-scenes. While the musical cues are appreciated and the art style is charming, the overall execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “The art style is endearing and the musical cues are nice.”
    • “The music is repetitive and stops abruptly before looping.”
    • “Unfortunately, there is no thought to fading or length of the music, which leaves the cut-scenes feeling totally abrupt.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay emphasizes exploration and puzzle-solving, encouraging players to immerse themselves in the environment. However, some users found it challenging enough to rely on gameplay videos for assistance.

    • “The gameplay leans more on exploration and puzzle-solving, allowing you to absorb the setting.”
    • “For a game that lasts about an hour, I heavily relied on gameplay videos to get through.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a captivating atmosphere set in a mysterious forest, blending folk art styles with elements of darkness and folklore. It is particularly appealing to fans of puzzle games who appreciate an immersive and enigmatic environment.

    • “Deep in the woods is a great pick if you’re into puzzle games with a dark, folklore-inspired atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, often feeling overwhelmed by repetitive tasks and slow-paced mechanics. The lack of engaging gameplay elements leads to a loss of interest, with many users ultimately giving up due to the excessive clicking required.

    • “It's rare to see a mobile game without grinding, and I could've used a break from it, so I eventually gave up, as both my mouse and my patience got worn out from all the tedious clicking.”
    • “There's never welcome tile-sliding, just a tedious maze with a slow-moving bug, interspersed with more arcade nonsense, like catching water drops with a skull.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been criticized for its lack of replayability, with users indicating that there is little incentive to play it multiple times.

    • “The replayability value is nonexistent.”
