Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood

Adventures and puzzles with Red Hood and hungry wolf. Not bad, but do not expect too much.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood. Wonderfully storybook-esque, with a surprisingly moving story, and full of great humor, Scarlet Hood is a unique experience. If I had to nitpick, I’d say that some of the puzzles are perhaps a little too esoteric, but none of them are truly unsolvable. With multiple endings offering plenty of replay value, there’s a lot to recommend for Scarlet Hood.

A lacking homage to decidedly better content.

A delightful point n click adventure with unique visuals and an engaging story.

A magical adventure with some time-loop shenanigans, Scarlet is transported via violent tornado into a world unfamiliar. As it happens, she stumbles upon the remains of a powerful red witch, which transforms her into a makeshift magic manipulator. What will she do now that this power was provided to her?

Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood is a fun and quirky retelling of storybook faves packaged nicely in an adventure game. There are multiple paths you can take to get to your goal, and supposedly multiple endings too-so if you can get past the odd mouse-slash-keyboard controls and the occasional rage-inducing puzzle, it's a steal.

Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood is a solid adventure game. It features gorgeous art and intuitive puzzles with the curious concept of multiple paths depending on your actions. A few mechanics could definitely be refined with added optimization, but fans of the genre will easily have fun during this adventure as Scarlet.
