The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl

Let me start with the fact I own most games by this dev and I love their style. Won't claim I get it all but it's somewhat similar to weird stuff in my own head and I love that. Now with that out of the way just as the description states this is a short visual novel/walking simulator of sorts based on the Red Riding Hood fairytale. It's not about quests or running around (well, a tiny bit) but more about the presentation itself. If I were to compare it to something it'll be an art-house movie. So if you like those - go ahead. While listed as horror there's no screamers or chasing scenes, just the atmosphere and the plot itself. Also be warned that the starting location is painfully bright (second to last screenshot).

That's one messed up castle full of lies. A walking sim for an hour long experience. It's okay, there's not much going on though other than I assume metaphorical storytelling. Something-something about a girl in a crimson hoodie trying to grow up to become a woman but gets dragged into a tangled mess. There's some disturbing moments but not much to talk about.

The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl was an interesting take on the story of red riding hood, honestly the way it played out felt more like a VN with walking segments, as always Yai does a great job of giving a feeling of discomfort over a possibly rather dark topic? I know I could take two things away from this myself but as for which one is the reality only Yai knows XD still it's very short if the play time wasn't a big clue but it was entertaining and interesting despite that with some interesting art work and scene usage dood.

this game reminds me of my child hood :D

I enjoy most of Yai's game's and this isn't an exception. I really love the multimedia aspect in this game even if I don't necessarily get it.

It's a perfectly fine experience (I wouldn't really call it a "game") but I just wish the way of speaking was consistent. Sometimes it felt like the dialogue was attempting to mimic an older classic fairytale way of speaking, other times it felt too modern, and those two clashed HEAVILY. I don't mind an interpretation of Red Riding Hood in the modern day when "mental illnesses" and "social hierarchy" are terms that can come up in conversation, nor do I mind more classic adaptations of Red Riding Hood which the art style, manner of speaking, and even the live action grainy footage of a classic interpretation of Red Riding Hood were clearly trying to convey. I just think this story's attempt at trying to do both didn't work for me. But the art is good and the csa worked as shock value, so whatever, like I said, perfectly fine.
