Red Bow - Steam Game

Odd game. Graphics are so low resolution that it interferes with the game; hard to identify what some items are. Several misspellings (in English version). Too easy to accidentally start a new game making the current game inaccessible.

*Bow As In The Accessory* When I first saw the game’s name, I thought it involved using a bow & arrow to fight against hordes of enemies. Oh boy, I was wrong. The bow actually referred to the clothing accessory. I think they took inspiration from Little Red Riding Hood since the game’s protagonist is a small girl with red highlights. The game was far from what I expected. You’ll understand while you read through this review. **About This Game** *Storyline* The game gives the player very cute & cheery vibes when they jump into the game. Man, I love how they manipulated us into thinking those vibes would stay throughout our gameplay. After like a few minutes, everything became so dark (not literally). The first “dark” thing you encounter is a woman trying to (TW) hang herself. Welp, this game is obviously not child-friendly. There are still a lot of horrors awaiting you as you progress deeper into the lore. So, what is the plot we follow? The game is obviously extremely story-driven. It would be evil of me if I spoiled even one bit. Hence why I will try to give a very short gist of it without any spoilers?!? Pardon me if it’s hard to comprehend. Wait, the game’s store page has a spoiler-free description that explains the game way better than I ever can. Let me just "steal" borrow it for a bit: Play as Roh, a young girl trapped in a strange nightmare filled with dark and eerie creatures. Will you be able to escape this endless nightmare or remain a prisoner for all of eternity. Now, let me talk about my opinions on the game’s plotline. As I mentioned before, the game builds up to a very eerie & dark theme. I loved the sudden change in vibes, they executed it perfectly through well-written transitions. The overall story is pretty basic but it is worth a playthrough. The one thing I don’t like is how they suddenly throw information at you. It’s pretty hard to understand what’s going on due to the absence of a solid base or any sort of introduction. It kinda feels like you’re suddenly thrown into a battlefield the instant you wake up in the morning. This is not the case here but you get the expression. But yeah, you will understand what’s going on the more you play. It’s not recommended to abandon mid-game. If you start it, at least try to finish it. *Gameplay Mechanics* This game can be considered a point & click RPG. The controls are pretty basic & very easy to master. You legit just move around & interact with interactables. What makes it...
