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.

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.
