Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood is a story-driven adventure about a young witch named Scarlet who has to guide a group of clumsy Munchkins through a dangerous forest. The wood belongs to a Black Witch named LeFaba, who does not welcome visitors, and things go badly. Scarlet soon discovers she is trapped in a loop, living the same day again and again.
Your choices shape what happens, and each loop gives you new knowledge to try something different. It is a single-player narrative game from Devespresso Games, suited to players who like dialogue choices, dark fairy tales and piecing together how to reach a better ending.
