I would recommend this game HOWEVER with a warning. It's short. Very short.. What I liked: The scenery and characters are beautiful and the dark folklore elements are good. It's a dark fairy tale. The music is fantastic and I could just listen to the "chase" music all day. I liked the puzzles, they felt intuitive. What I disliked: Without giving the story away, the ending is too abrupt. What I thought was a pre-fight to the final boss or to bigger story was actually the final boss. So that was a big let down. The combat element is pretty terrible. I would say get this game on sale and have fun for about the 2 hours it takes to play it. And I would be interested to see what they do in the future.
A bit of a love-hate relationship As a Czech player, I was excited to support a small Czech studio, and the visual style immediately caught my attention. The embroidered art is absolutely gorgeous, the music fits the atmosphere perfectly, and I really enjoyed the dark, morbid story. That being said… I expected much more of an adventure game. Instead, a surprisingly large part of it is a platformer, in the dark cave and unfortunately, it can be pretty unforgiving. There were definitely a few moments when I just thought, "Oh, come on, not again." Despite that, there is so much I genuinely loved and I couldn't stop playing until the end. And obviously, I have to mention the most important feature: THE ANIMALS ARE PETTABLE. 10/10. Just for that! So yes, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Scarlet Deer Inn . It wasn't quite the game I expected, but I'm still glad I played it. It's beautiful, unusual and very distinctly Czech, and I really hope the developers keep making games like this.
My review of Scarlet Deer Inn after finishing the game. The Pros: - The visuals, for the most part, are gorgeous. It's one of the prettiest indie games I've played in years. - The soundtrack is superb. - The controls are very responsive, and the platforming parts of the game are very fun to play - The level design is mostly solid and very well executed. - The game also has some simple stealth mechanics, but they work fine. - The protagonist is actually a quite likeable individual, and her interactions with other townsfolk are, in most cases, very interesting to watch. - It has the right length for the amount of content it offers. We need more games that don't overstay their welcome with repetitive grinding and side activities. The Cons: - The torch mechanic is a bit counterintuitive. The dungeons in the game have secret areas that reward player exploration, but your torch needs to be always lit when you're in a dungeon, otherwise, you get damage and die. But the torch exinguishes too fast, meaning you actually get punished for exploring off the beaten path. In my opinion, The torch should last longer. - The combat mechanics are a bit underwhelming. The enemy feedback when being hit by the player could use some improvements. Also, the hit combat detection in the game definitely needs to improve. - Lack of enemy variety. There are only two types of enemy you can fight against using the torch, plus another one you have to sneak through. - The Final boss fight is very underwhelming, largely because combat itself is underwhelming. Overall, it's a very solid game, and an impressive work by a team of two people. Congratulations to Attu Games.
A short but beautiful adventure. I really enjoyed this, the embroidered art is very pretty and the atmosphere perfect. The music is really nice too. We really could use more games based on folklore too, the Czech folklore inspiration here is perfect for this. I am also really glad to see a game where the main character is a mother. I did run into a bug late in the game. The final boss fight would last forever somehow, repeating the boss sequence without progressing to the next phase. Restarting fixed it. I did also find this boss fight to be frustrating with how the spike pattern worked. Runs great on Steam Machine. I ended up playing this in a single sitting.
Scarlet Deer Inn can best be described as an interactive dark fairy tale. You'll spend roughly 50% of the game walking about and talking with the various townsfolk in your village, and the other half engaging with some very rudimentary platforming and combat, with the odd basic puzzle and stealth section thrown in for good measure. The game's most obvious strength lies in its lovely art style, apparently not based on frames that were simply drawn but actually embroidered. I'm not sure this information impacts the player experience, I imagine all this style could have been achieved without that, but it's a cool detail about the development process and the results are very pleasing. The other thing the game does very well is characterisation, you very quickly get a distinct impression of each person you meet. None of them feel like throwaway NPCs. The writing is very good too and the story is intriguing and deliciously macabre without being especially complex. It's a short game, not difficult at all, and the low level of mechanical depth is just enough to support its roughly 3-4 hour runtime without becoming stale. There's a few collectables to find throughout but they won't extend the runtime much. In summary, I enjoyed the short time I spent in this world (the ending wasn't that satisfying for me though). Some will not find it a good value proposition at the price but that really depends on what you are looking to get out of it.
