62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From the monochromatic black-and-white background with red accents, to the unique art style and sound design, this short and sweet game was beautiful and fun to play.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzle elements are a nice touch to the side-scrolling exploration platformer, slightly challenging by themselves, but are simple enough for anyone to figure out. (i.e. collecting items, riddles, Simon Says)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Either way, the sound design, and character design tie together to make this fun play-through.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To Red's lovely character design, to the ominous scenery, and of course the monsters with bizarre features- it's the perfect combination of charm and horror.
