  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is largely criticized for being minimal and poorly executed, with users noting that it primarily consists of clicking through poorly written dialogue. While the game offers some additional gameplay elements and the option to bypass certain sections in subsequent playthroughs, overall, it fails to impress, with many aspects, including graphics and audio, being described as awful. Despite its shortcomings, some players found it mildly entertaining.

    • “You do have the option of bypassing this in your second gameplay if you wish to do so.”
    • “The gameplay is at least a little something extra than simply being a cruddy visual novel.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and unexpected scenarios, such as a herd of naked men and a grandmother mistaking her granddaughter for a werewolf. The scriptwriter's creativity shines through in the variety of endings, which range from hilarious to dramatic, ensuring that players remain entertained throughout their experience. Overall, the blend of comedic elements and imaginative storytelling contributes significantly to the game's charm.

    • “Like, my first ending, I took mushroom pastries to grandma through the forest, witnessed a herd of naked men chopping a mushroom, narrowly outran a mushroom falling onto me, then had to outrun the herd of naked men. Cut to grandma lying in bed and hearing a strange u-u-u-u-u-u noise. Grandma 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, and then finally grandma stays 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 where some of the endings are expected, such as 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 members, the big bad wolf starving and not eating anything, one or more characters including the big bad wolf getting the runs from food poisoning, and Red Riding Hood's grandmother mistaking her for a werewolf and chasing her out with a rolling pin, to the big bad wolf turning into a handsome prince and marrying Red Riding Hood when she is older or another girl.”

  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books to be tedious, likening it to a frustrating experience where the narrative unfolds slowly, requiring constant clicking to progress rather than allowing for a more fluid reading experience. This repetitive interaction detracts from the enjoyment of the story, making it feel laborious.

    • “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
