Explicit Adult Content: No

Personal Favorites: Wolf, Tenko, and who wouldn’t love a grandma who can kill people with her shoe!

Geeze, I got soooo many bad endings and some of them ridiculously fast! My first 5 minutes in, grandma killed me with a shoe and that was just one of the many ways I managed to disastrously end my journey. The game itself is an interesting adaptation of “Red Riding Hood” in a totally fictitious world. It had me hooked and simultaneously crying in frustration at all the bad endings. I did manage one good ending of my own before I reached for a guide! I swear!!

The storylines were not terribly original, but had some unique character aspects I really enjoyed. Unique being very deliberately used here - no guy is the same type. We’ve got a human, a fox, a wolf, etc. Even though the last guy was quite unexpected. The art was clean and beautiful, and I liked the touch with some of the chibi cgs that are thrown among the endings.
