This is a free episodic Flash adventure series from the co-creator of the Alice Is Dead series. Episode 1 (Sep) - When a young girl in a red hood is accused of witchcraft, a hunter is dispatched to investigate the allegations. Has she really been consorting with the shades of the forest? Find out in this dark take on the story of Red Riding Hood. It has imaginative artwork and atmospheric film grain effect to the penchant for eerie, slightly-off-kilter musical tracks. Episode 2 (Oct) - While searching the woods for a lost girl (auburn hair, 17-ish, red cloak), you come across a peculiar metal ship. Like something the cat dragged in from a murky swamp. And that's not the only strange encounter in store for you. In this chapter of the series, your main focus is unlocking the secrets of the large tin machine—interrogate the local inhabitants and face unfriendly spirits who cast disparaging labels ("murderer!") upon you in your quest for answers. Episode 3 (Apr/2012) - The wolf finds himself in the village of Shadetale and, in character with its name, there are some shady dealings going on here. Take your time, toy with everything and don't remain focused solely on gameplay; exploration is well rewarded with intriguing discoveries. Episode 4 (Nov/2012) Find where the Hood went, why she's there, and if she can be saved. Questions are answered, loose ends are tied up, and a final confrontation is had. While the previous games had arcane spookiness, this conclusion adds an edge of the psychological that makes things deliciously unsettling. Of course, with Hood's undercurrent of whimsical humor, it's hardly a dreary experience: There's a snarky reply every time you try to use an inventory item on a piece of scenery illogically (especially when you're wielding your slightly-moldering friend Mr. Pumpkin), and the annoyingly cheerful fire sprite will crack you up. | ||
