About the Game

   Red grew up in a cottage with her family on the outskirts of a vast forest, safe and quiet. The woods are not as safe as they had always appeared from Red's window however... On one fateful day, Red finds herself alone, her parents consumed by a terrible floral curse that had crawled out from between the trees.

   Armed with an old lantern that her mother managed to give her before the curse took hold, Red must dive into the woods where the curse originated, seeking help from a certain family member that she had never met before.

   Cursed animals stalk these glades, and a wolf appears to roam amongst the shadows, never drawing attention, yet always watching... In order to survive Red must cling to the light of her lantern, fight back against the monsters and expose the secrets of the flower curse to free the forest and her family from its grasp.
