About Da Hood:
“A long, long time ago, a young orphan girl named Isabella set off for the forest to visit her grandma. Wearing her favorite red riding hood while humming a happy tune, she skipped down the forest path. As she entered her grandma’s house, a wolf suddenly sprang out, slaying her grandmother. Shocked, she tried to escape, only to find that the wolf was too fast foe her. As death loomed over Isabella, a hunter miraculously appeared, defeating the wolf and saving the girl’s life. Feeling pity for Isabella who just lost the last of her family, the Hunter adopted her. Desiring to become stronger to prevent future tragedies, Isabella asked the Hunter for training. She soon became a skillful and powerful warrior and spent many happy days patrolling with the Hunter. Years passed until one day, the Hunter was slain by a pack of varacious wolves. Devastated, isabella vowed to carry on the Hunter’s legacy to keep the fores safe and to protect the weak from harm.” “Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters” Collector’s Edition is a Fragmented Object game. The game was developed by Blue Tea Games and published by Big Fish Games Studio. “The Red Riding Hood Sisters” is the fourth episode of “Dark Parables.” Previous episodes: “Curse of Briar Rose;” “The Exiled Prince” and “Rise of the Snow Queen.” Since this is a collector’s edition game, it comes with extra features that are not available in its’ counterpart; the standard edition. The Game Review Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals for the game are nicely done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game’s option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game’s option menu as well. Gameplay There are three different game difficulty modes to choose from: Casual; Hard and Expert. There is no padlock feature that is available to lock the inventory panel in place. The inventory panel automatically comes stationary. There is a map in the game. The map is automatically given at the start of the game. The hidden object scenes consist of the following: Fragmented items. Some of these hidden object scenes may require a little or no interaction. The puzzles are fairly easy to solve without having the need to skip any of them. There are collectibles in the game: Parables. They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find. There are morphing objects (beyond objects) in the game. They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find as well. The morphing objects are used to refill the hint bar. Since this is a collector’s edition game, there is a bonus chapter, but it can be accessed only after the main story is completed. Miscellaneous There are extra features in the game: Bonus Chapter; Bonus Puzzles; Wallpapers and Game’s Strategy Guide. Most of these extra features can be accessed only after the entire game is completed. There are seven different trading cards to collect. Only four of those trading cards are given out by the game. There are several ways to get the rest of the trading cards: Purchased from the Steam’s Community Market; Trade with friends; Booster Packs and its Booster Pack Creator. Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game’s full price value.
