“THIS IS NOT A FAIRYTALE, THERE’S NOTHING FAIR ABOUT IT”



KEY FEATURES


  • A twisted fairytale – This take on the Red Riding Hood legacy is not an ordinary bedtime story. Four years ago, Red Riding Hood’s father Joseph, lead engineer for Woolfe Industries, died in a work accident. At least, that’s what his family was told. All grown up, our heroine is ready to unveil the truth and present the bill for her tragic loss.
  • A rich, visual experience – Woolfe's atmospheric artwork immerses the player in a rich fantasy universe centred on a city paralyzed with fear, occupied by tin soldiers. Sneak through the slums, descend into the sewers, run through the harbour and escape the city into the evil forest, where all manner of creatures are out to get you.
  • 2.5D action-platforming – The tale’s 2.5D levels combine the simplicity of side-scrolling gameplay with three-dimensional puzzle-solving.
  • Fast axe-wielding combat – Armed with her trusty axe, Red will need to skilfully execute combos to strike at her foes' weaknesses.
  • Deranged fairytale enemies – On her journey, Red faces some bloody encounters with “familiar fairytale faces”, such as The Pied Piper, tin soldiers, big bad wolves, scary fairies and (of course) her arch-nemesis, B.B. Woolfe.

STORY



Red leaves her Granny and her safe place, the forest, and heads back to the city, which she finds paralyzed with fear and scarred by a plague of kidnappings. B.B. Woolfe, CEO of Woolfe Industries, rules with an iron fist and maintains a constant state of fear through his army of henchmen. Our fearless young protagonist sets out on a violent vendetta against the megalomaniac, whom she holds responsible for her father’s death. Level by level, she learns more about her father and what happened on that dreadful night – and, ultimately, about Woolfe’s hidden secrets, which are even darker than Red could ever have imagined.

It's not bad despite the difficulties at some stages.

It has an acceptable aestethic and the double jump, the rest is sad and awful.

When people say, "I've already got so many games. Why buy new ones when I can work through my backlog?", this is the result. I was hesitant to even install this at first because it looked like malware disguised as eurojank. Even so, I thought it might scratch that American McGee's Alice itch, only with an edgy take on Snow White. The edge, though. It's so relentlessly forced that it starts sounding like a bad joke on repeat. Snow White spends the game masquerading as Batman, spinning some forgettable tale about a city gone bad and an unsolved murder. Thankfully, the game shows a rare moment of mercy by letting you skip the "I AM JUSTICE, I AM ALONE" monologue cutscenes entirely. Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries is one of those games I'm grateful never became a franchise. It ends on a lame jump-scare cliffhanger that, eleven years later, still hasn't gone anywhere. I'm sure that was a delight for the Kickstarter backers. I can only hope they're satisfied knowing this is where their money went. In the end, it's a janky, buggy, painfully edgy game. Thankfully, all I lost was about an hour of my time, and my backlog is one game thinner than it was before.

Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries is a dark fantasy platforming adventure that takes inspiration from the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale and reshapes it into a far more mature and sinister story. Developed and published by GriN Gamestudio, the game abandons the cheerful innocence of the original fairy tale and instead presents a world consumed by greed, industrial expansion, and hidden conspiracies. By blending action-platforming gameplay with a revenge-driven narrative, Woolfe attempts to offer players a unique interpretation of familiar folklore while delivering a visually striking journey through a corrupted fairy-tale universe. The story centers on Red, portrayed not as a helpless child but as a determined heroine seeking answers about the mysterious death of her father. Her investigation leads her into conflict with powerful figures connected to the influential Woolfe corporation, a company whose reach extends throughout the kingdom. The narrative explores themes of corruption, exploitation, and the consequences of unchecked ambition, giving the game a darker tone than most fairy-tale adaptations. While the plot follows a relatively straightforward path, it succeeds in mainta…

Lies of P multiverse before Lies of P. Played it probably somewhere close to when it released, and now replayed it. At that time, there was a trend for episode games, and this was supposed to be a prologue to a series of such compact games. However, it didn't succeed. I do understand why, honestly, because everything about this game is quite janky, the combat, the platforming, and the noir monologues of the Red, although they aren't too cringy. Trashy but can be fun. Wonder what could have come if the series had continued.
