Lost Words: Beyond the Page

Lost Words: Beyond the Page doesn’t offer much of a challenge in terms of platforming or puzzles, but that doesn’t make it any less compelling. The heartfelt story effortlessly draws players in right from the start while the charming visuals and moving soundtrack round out the package. The game tackles very difficult subjects in a way that both young and old can relate to while the charming presentation makes it even more memorable. It is more of an interactive experience than a game at times, but we wholeheartedly recommend Lost Words to anyone who can appreciate a great story.

Gameplay: Very easy and accessible, but it is the story that really sets this game apart.

Graphics: Both the journal and story sections of the game are beautiful.

Sound: The soundtrack is incredible and the voice acting superb

Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood

Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood

Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood is a great story-driven adventure with plenty of puzzles and beautiful visuals. The game also incorporates some action elements, such as evading enemies and hiding from a big bad wolf. However, its stand-out feature is how each area of the game can be completed in different ways, each with its own unique puzzles. This boosts the replay value considerably and provides extra incentive to unlock the different endings. It’s not the most challenging game on the market, but it is a lot of fun and we enjoyed it from start to finish.

Gameplay: An interesting combination of point & click adventure, visual novel, and side scroller.

Graphics: Beautiful hand-illustrated visuals with vibrant colors and detailed backgrounds.

Sound: The soundtrack is good, but only the cut-scenes feature voice-overs
