Scarlet Deer Inn

Pros: Beautiful and unique artstyle good story great soundtrack Cons: Ending, which felt like this is part one. Very short for linear experience

One sentence review: Scarlet Deer Inn should be viewed as more of an interactive short horror film than a game, and as long as you know that’s what you’re in for, it’s good. I wish I could give a fully positive review of this game, because it has so much to love. The art overall is great, from the unique embroidered visuals to the music. The story is creepy but fun and pulls you in very quickly. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is really lacking. There’s a lot of fairly tedious running back and forth between the few places to explore, and the game doesn’t challenge you much. Also, the game is quite short. I’m pretty on the fence, but ultimately I recommend it for the artistry and story, despite the fairly significant shortcomings.

Fun little game that's easy enough to complete without major difficulties. It looks incredible and has amazing music! [spoiler] the "side quest" in the middle of the game was fun and it was great to basically play fairytale like that. I just hoped outcome would have bigger impact on the story (especially the ending)[/spoiler]

A beautiful little adventure with amazing art direction, music and atmosphere. It portrays its origins very well, including the very realistic characterizations of some NPCs. It's also very nice to see some old folk tales "preserved" in this modern medium in such an approachable manner. The final encounter was also a surprisingly formidable challenge, I likely spent an hour just on that! Thank you Attu, best of luck on your future endeavors.

Definitely a labor of love, but the narrative is mid and ends abruptly. Thumbs up for the art, music, and chase sequences

Nice aesthetic. The music is nice and the mistery hooks you up. A little short, but fun experience

A beautiful, dark, sometimes quiet and sometimes fast and dangerous game with an incredible soundtrack. This game has been surprising and wonderful. Give it a try!

首先，这游戏的独特治愈系画风很吸引人，音乐也非常好听，不管是农村休闲曲还是追逐的战斗曲，玩的时候总会让我想起KCD，看下资料，居然也是捷克那边的工作室。但是抛开画风和音乐，其他方面简直灾难，游戏性接近没有，还贼难，剧情和任务更是莫名其妙，我甚至时不时总能遇到卡关BUG。

The whole animation sprites being embroidered was what drew me in. The creativity of that along with the beautiful picturesque backgrounds really makes this a beautiful game and honestly, something I would love to see more! Which makes the moments where the story progresses a chilling surprise. The music is lovely and the ambient sounds really adds to the overall experience of the game. Would definitely recommend this game to friends and families!
