The story of "Red Riding Hood - Star Crossed Lovers" presents a unique twist on the classic tale, featuring a werewolf in love with Red Riding Hood, blending whimsy with melodrama. However, many reviews note that the narrative feels underdeveloped and abruptly concludes, leaving players wanting more depth and resolution. While the game includes interesting trivia about the original story, its short runtime and simplistic storytelling detract from the overall experience.
- “Rather than portraying the wolf as a villain, the story reframes him as a conflicted werewolf secretly in love with Red Riding Hood — a twist that immediately signals the game’s intent to blend fairy-tale whimsy with melodrama.”
- “Great storyline with the added bonus of lots of fascinating Red Riding Hood fact nuggets along the way.”
- “The art style is beautiful and the story is interesting; however, the ending seems to have stopped short. I hope they conclude the story in another game, but right now it's a good value for money and a fun game.”
- “The story’s potential — rooted in a darker twist on Red Riding Hood — feels only partially delivered because of this lack of narrative refinement.”
- “It's a very short game with a weak story and abrupt ending.”
- “There are plot holes and it ends abruptly.”

The gameplay primarily features traditional hidden-object mechanics with a simple structure that caters to casual players, emphasizing object identification and minor actions. While the inclusion of a unique "special sight" mechanic adds thematic depth, it does not significantly enhance puzzle complexity, resulting in a generally basic experience. Despite its shortcomings in depth and production values, the game offers decent value for its price, appealing to those seeking a relaxed gaming experience.
- “The game’s structure revolves around traditional hidden-object and puzzle gameplay.”
- “Good gameplay with some great puzzles.”
- “A notable mechanic involves using the werewolf’s 'special sight' to uncover objects invisible to ordinary characters, a feature that feels thematically appropriate even if it doesn’t meaningfully deepen the puzzle complexity.”
- “The gameplay rhythm is intentionally simple: scan the screen, identify required objects, complete minor actions, and progress to the next area.”
- “Its shortcomings — including shallow gameplay, limited length, uneven writing, and modest production values — prevent it from standing out among stronger hidden-object adventures, but its distinctive premise and approachable structure give it a small niche appeal.”
