Scarlet Deer Inn

Great game.

This game is truly like an interactive fairy tale. The hand painted background, the embroidered characters, the way it tells the story and when the music bursts onto the scene all blend into something truly magical. Love details, like the music starting in a chase sequence with the beat of Elise landing on the first platform. I didn't even care when I died it was such a joy to play. I'm definitely going to replay it since it's not a long game and I want all the secrets and the best ending. Ps. Extra points for being able to pet multiple animals. Even the glowworms.

Už od vyzkoušení dema na GDS jsem číhal na to, až hra vyjde. Nádherná hra se super hudbou, která kombinuje adventuru, plošinovky a puzzlovku. Hra je docela krátká, ale ani chvíli mě nenudila. Příběh má hlavu a patu a je zábavné ho sledovat. Určitě můžu doporučit.

Zajímavý příběh Výtečná hudba Krásné animace

YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'll be honest the only reason that i'm leaning towards the positive side for Scarlet deer inn is because of the insanely unique art style. What this two person dev team has achieved here is nothing short of commendable from a creative point of view as well as the amount of work it must've taken. Their efforts did not go unnoticed as the embroided frame by frame animation for the characters looked very fluid and paired well with the smooth controls. This unique art style looks stunning and made the game feel memorable. It's the primary reason i picked the game up along with the pretty painted backgrounds. Musically the game is also rather strong but unfortunately music is rather rare because most often you won't hear any. You will hear nice ambient SFX though, especially in the village which made the place feel very lively. It's when exploring said village and talking to all the npc's that the game was at its most fun imo but unfortunately that is a little under half of the runtime. The other half is spent in an absolutely dreadfull, bland and boring cave section that drags on and on. In said caves you will be mostly platforming, which is mostly fine except for the drawn-out chase sections that send you back to the start if you fail a jump or run into spikes. You'll also fight some critters here which was really cumbersome as the combat feels really stiff. There's also a final boss which was equally cumbersome and a bit of a dissapointing end to the game. Speaking of dissapointing endings i can't say the narrative left me particularly satisfied. The game ends really abruptly and open ended which rubbed me the wrong way but at least it was engaging up till that point. On a technical level the game ran well but it felt a bit buggy sometimes with repeating dialogues. Loading times were also rather lenghty even on SSD. For its VERY short runtime and numerous issues i won't say this game is worth it at full price, wait for a serious discount.

good
