Features a large number of branching paths and approximately 50 different endings, offering varied and often surprising storylines.
Contains a surreal, bizarre, and comedic retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale that can be entertaining and amusing, especially for fans of weird or 'so bad it's good' media.
Easy to play with simple point-and-click and visual novel mechanics, suitable for short sessions and accessible for many players; includes achievements and trading cards that appeal to collectors.

Graphics and audio quality are generally low and often described as crude or awkward, with dated 3D visual style that some players find unsettling or unappealing.
Writing and translation quality is inconsistent and at times poor, with clunky and broken English that detracts from the narrative experience.
Gameplay is limited, mostly restricted to clicking through text with minimal interactivity; the point-and-click sections are very simple and can feel repetitive or flimsy.

The story of "Return of Red Riding Hood" is a playful, branching retelling of the classic fairy tale, presented as a bedtime story told by a boy to his sister, with humorous and unexpected twists influenced by player choices. While some find the narrative cheesy and short, its multiple diverse endings and creative "what if" scenarios keep the experience engaging and entertaining. The mix of humor, drama, and inventive storytelling is central to the game's charm despite its simplicity.
- “It's cheesy, each run-through is short, but the amount of branches and endings on the story is staggering - this is clearly where the creativity comes in.”
- “Little red riding hood has always been my favorite fairy tale, and this wacky little game has a bunch of wild "what if" decisions you can make to change the outcome of the story, like befriending the wolf or aiming a shotgun at him when he tries to eat granny!”
- “Some parts of the story will be very short, while others are longer (but without dragging on, which is good), some parts are funny, and others dramatic, which keeps you well entertained.”
- “If it had beautiful hand-drawn art, it would be a bummer to see it wasted on such bad storytelling.”
- “So the story, like an original, is quite short.”
- “The storyline is absolutely bonkers.”

The graphics in Return of Red Riding Hood are widely considered poor and low-budget, often described as cheesy or appalling, but this rough aesthetic oddly complements the game's quirky and humorous tone. While not visually impressive, the art style adds charm and suits the strange retelling of the story.
- “Don't be fooled by the cheap-looking graphics in the screenshots... this is one of the strangest tellings of "Red Riding Hood" you'll ever come across.”
- “You can tell even from the screenshots that this game is not going to win any prizes for graphics, but the cheesiness adds to the charm.”
- “The game has nice artwork (the 3D model of the big bad wolf was comical and brought out the humour in the story) and classical background music.”
- “Return of Red Riding Hood has awful graphics that add to the low budget vibe of the game.”
- “On one hand, the graphics are awful, the audio is awful, the gameplay is awful, the menus are awful.”
- “First of all, I find the 3D graphics appalling.”

The game's humor is characterized by its quirky, imaginative, and often unexpected twists on classic fairy tale elements, resulting in a variety of hilarious and memorable endings. The comedy ranges from absurd and playful scenarios to clever subversions, keeping the experience entertaining without overstaying its welcome. Overall, the humor is a highlight, contributing to the game's charm and replayability.
- “The scriptwriter of this visual novel has a very funny imagination, with some endings where the big bad wolf devours Red Riding Hood, her mother, and/or her grandmother, while others feature hilarious twists like the big bad wolf becoming a pet/friend or getting food poisoning.”
- “Among funny and unexpected endings, there are scenarios such as Red Riding Hood's widowed mother marrying the woodcutter, the grandmother mistaking Red Riding Hood for a werewolf and chasing her out with a rolling pin, and the big bad wolf turning into a handsome prince who marries Red Riding Hood.”
- “Like, my first ending: I take mushroom pastries to grandma through the forest, witness a herd of naked men chopping mushrooms, narrowly outrun a falling mushroom, then a herd of naked men, cut to grandma hiding under the bed as mom runs in making strange noises and laughing like a crazy person before dropping off pastries and scampering off on all fours, with grandma staying under the covers for the rest of time.”

The gameplay is generally criticized for being minimal and unengaging, mostly involving clicking through poorly written dialogue typical of visual novels. However, some players appreciate the presence of minor gameplay elements that add slight variety, making the experience somewhat entertaining despite its flaws.
- “You do have the option of bypassing this in your second gameplay if you wish to do so.”
- “This isn't a good game, but honestly it kept me entertained and at least had some gameplay elements so I can't really be mad at it.”
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
- “On one hand, the graphics are awful, the audio is awful, the gameplay is awful, the menus are awful.”
- “The gameplay is at least a little something extra than simply being a cruddy visual novel.”
