The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and whimsical scenarios, such as encounters with naked men and unexpected character transformations, which showcase the scriptwriter's imaginative flair. Players appreciate the blend of dark comedy and playful twists on classic fairy tale elements, resulting in a variety of humorous and surprising endings that keep the experience entertaining. Overall, the game's humor is both quirky and unpredictable, appealing to those who enjoy unconventional storytelling.
“In my first ending, I took mushroom pastries to grandma through the forest, witnessed a herd of naked men chopping a mushroom, narrowly outran a falling mushroom, and then had to escape the herd of naked men. Cut to grandma lying in bed, hearing a strange u-u-u-u-u-u noise, while she hides under the bed as mom runs in making rhh-rhhh-rhh sounds and laughing like a crazy person. Mom drops off the mushroom pastries and scampers off on all fours, leaving grandma to stay under the covers for the rest of time.”
“Having played this game for around a couple of hours to get all 50 endings, the scriptwriter of this visual novel has a very funny imagination. Some of the endings are expected, like the big bad wolf devouring Red Riding Hood, her mother, and/or her grandmother.”
“Among a few of the more funny and unexpected endings, there are Red Riding Hood's widowed mother marrying the woodcutter, the big bad wolf becoming a pet/friend of Red Riding Hood and her family, the big bad wolf starving and not eating anything, one or more characters, including the big bad wolf, getting food poisoning, and Red Riding Hood's grandmother mistaking her for a werewolf and chasing her out with a rolling pin. Then there's the big bad wolf turning into a handsome prince and marrying Red Riding Hood when she is older or another girl.”
