Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced experience may find the action and platforming focus a poor match.
- Those who want a broad range of play styles may find its focus on side-scrolling action limiting.
- Players looking for a multiplayer game for more than two players may not find the described co-op format suitable.
Our take on Scary Girl
Its side-scrolling action and platforming keep the focus on a compact style of play, leaving less room for other genres or broader multiplayer formats. Co-op adds a second character, but the described setup centers on Scarygirl and one supporting player.
What is Scary Girl?
Scarygirl is a side-scrolling action game about a girl adopted by an intelligent giant octopus who seeks the man appearing in her dreams.
The game combines 2D and 3D platforming across colorful, surreal environments. Play alone, or add a second player to control Bunniguru, a kung-fu rabbit who fights alongside Scarygirl and can join during play. Combat starts with basic attacks; as the story advances, players can spend in-game currency to acquire new moves and weapons, including attachments for Scarygirl’s tentacle arm. The game also includes secrets to find and a standalone story in which Scarygirl encounters the mysterious figure from her dreams.
