Scarlet Deer Inn

wo, heard about it from a yt video was kinda nervous cuz of the maturity rating but its mor halloween scarry than actually scarry. good experience for sure!

Lovely game! Charming art, nice story (inspiration from Kytice is very refreshing to see), and the dialogues are perfect - Czech version anyway, I don't know how well the nuances of the language translate but the original is just great, I feel like I know exactly who Eliska would be and how she would talk. Also, I did not know I can *hear* subtitles but the pacing and emphasis (shaking words) along with the characters make it work like a charm, no voiceover needed. The soundtrack is also killer, especially how the music fits the gameplay. Also, I think I hear some inspiration from Hades and Witcher but it works very well. Minor spoilers ahead: Some of the platforming sections felt a bit long, fighting also felt a bit out of place (I would have probably enjoyed more puzzles). The final boss battle was quite nice even though I had to repeat it a few times but I'm unsure about who's the target audiance - up until that point the combat and platforming was relatively easy but the boss steps things up quite a bit (I actually did not know I can kill the dudes with the light up until then). Otherwise I've not encountered any real bugs, the only problem I had was that I got stuck at the start, when I went below for the fist time because I did not notice I have to crouch to progress foward (it looked like a solid wall to me). But anyway, I enjoyed the contrast between the bright and beautiful world above with quests and great dialogue, and the dark world below. However, I found myself wanting to explore more of the above, than jump around below. I wish the authors the best of luck and looking forward to play more of their games in the future :)

Absolute Cinema. No Notes.

To quote the classic: A raw fairytale horror, [strike]The Thirteen Mothers-in-Law[/strike] The Brave Inkeeper. I originally thought it might be a nice game for my eight-year-old daughter, but the visit to the beekeeper proved me wrong. As for the platforming gameplay, it's pretty much Hollow Knight from Wish. However, judging by the story and execution, I'm absolutely thrilled with the fairytale motifs, the art style, and the fantastic music. I even listened to the soundtrack on its own. In any case, I don't regret supporting such a unique title, which, thanks to its bold artistic concept, could be compared to the recently released Phonopolis by Amanita Design. - Czech - Slovy klasika: Syrový pohádkový horor [strike]O třinácti tchyních[/strike] O statečné šenkýřce. Původně jsem si myslel, že by to mohla být pěkná hra pro mou osmiletou dceru, ale návštěva u včelaře mě vyvedla z omylu. Pokud bych měl hodnotit arkádovou část, tak je to takový Hollow Knight z Wishe. Pokud bych měl hodnotit příběh a zpracování, tak jsem nadšený z pohádkových motivů, grafiky i skvělé hudby. Soundtrack jsem si pouštěl i zvlášť. Každopádně nelituju, že jsem podpořil unikátní dílo, které by se odvážnou výtvarnou koncepcí dalo přirovnat k nedávno vyšlému Phonopolis od Amanita Design.

A very enjoyable game with a compelling story. At first glance, the maze-like network of corridors seems quite complicated, but you only get lost or stuck occasionally. The game's biggest downside is its length. It takes only about three hours to complete, which feels a bit too short. On the other hand, the graphics are excellent, and the controls are simple, intuitive, and easy to learn. Overall, it's a great experience that's definitely worth playing.

It was a fun simple game! Love how the simple mechanic can be used for the whole game and I especially loved the chase part!! Beautiful and fun soundtrack as well!

En: It was incredibly atmospheric and beautiful! I really liked the unconventional choice of the main character (a single mother of two children) I don’t have children, but I felt as though Elishka’s children were my own, especially when I could hear the sound of a heartbeat in the background during the main character’s panic attacks and moments of fear. I played the game in Czech and managed to immerse myself 100% in the atmosphere and understand the lyrics of those amazing soundtracks, which give the game that atmosphere that kept me glued to the screen. I also really loved the storyline involving the girl who needed her eyes, hands, and legs restored. The unexpected execution literally left me speechless with surprise. Brilliant and breathtaking! I’m so glad Warhorse promoted your game, because you deserve a lot of attention! Thank you! :) Cz: Bylo to šíleně atmosférické a nádherné! Moc se mi líbil netradiční výběr hlavní hrdinky (samotná matka dvou dětí) – sama děti nemám, ale prožívala jsem s Eliskou její děti jako by byly moje vlastní, zejména když se v pozadí ozýval zvuk tlukotu srdce během záchvatů paniky a strachu hlavní hrdinky. Hrála jsem v češtině a podařilo se mi vžít se do atmosféry na 100 % a rozumět textům těch úžasných soundtracků, které hře dodávají tu atmosféru, díky které jsem se nemohla odtrhnout od monitoru. Strašně se mi líbila i dějová linie s ženou, které bylo třeba vrátit oči, ruce a nohy. Od nečekané ztráty jsem doslova oněměla údivem. Skvělé a ohromující! Jsem moc ráda, že vaši hru propagovali Warhorse, protože si zasloužíte velkou pozornost! Děkuju! :)
