Our take on Redswood VR
The emphasis on a living forest and multiple movement methods may suggest a broad exploration game, but the central structure remains a two-character retelling of Red Riding Hood with a story endpoint at Granny’s house.
What is Redswood VR?
Redswood VR retells Red Riding Hood through two playable perspectives.
As Red, players revisit the forest, learn more about its past, climb trees, and use a slingshot before reaching Granny’s house. As the Huntsman, players investigate Red’s disappearance while traversing the forest and facing danger. Movement options include walking, running, jumping, climbing, shooting, throwing, swimming, swinging, teleportation, arm-swing locomotion, and grappling. The forest is presented as an open area for exploration and traversal, allowing players to follow the story or explore the environment. The game examines the characters’ thoughts and motivations beyond the traditional fable.
