    This was quite a short game--could probably have finished it in about an hour if I wasn't also watching TV. That said, $2 for an hour of play seems ok to me. This was basically a series of hidden object puzzles chained together by a story not worth reading. There's a lot of information about the story of Red Riding Hood in here, if that interests you. The HOP all took place in the same 5-6 locations. I'd give this a sideways thumb if I could, but since it wasn't appalling, I'll go with a…

    Not really much here . Your standard hidden object game no real extras to speak of with the exception of wolf symbols shown throughout the game that you can click on to find more information about the history of the red riding hood story . The Olney thing that was slightly annoying. Was that after you completed some puzzles you had to click on the bar on the top to show that you completed the puzzle. The game did not give you a signal that you had finished the puzzle…

    Well Worth the Money!! Very nice game with beautiful graphics, well designed hidden object scenes and puzzles, and around 3 hours play time. I really enjoyed all of the background information regarding The Little Red Riding Hood story, past and present!! I took screenshots of some of them, but there are many more! It was a pleasant surprise to also have to hunt to find all those tidbits of info, and well worth it! The puzzles are pretty straight forward and not too hard. Beautifully designed…

    pros + story basically sequel to original tale and it's fine. Red Riding Hood is an adult woman and she has a werewolf boyfriend in this game. + nice looking colorful background graphics and character models + nice background musics + the hidden object scenes enjoyable + hint system helpful + puzzles and mini games are enjoyable + there is auto save + game gives some information about Red Riding Hood, some tale adaptations and Charles Perrault + game is cheap cons - there are no voice overs…

    'Red Riding Hood - Star Crossed Lovers' is not a high-quality game but it's fine for the small price. Quite a lot of hidden object images, not worth mentioning puzzles and a love story between Little Red Riding Hood and a werewolf. Playable and ok. The game is quite short and stopped abruptly for me as well. The illustrated story is not told at the end of the game.

    A short, old school-style hidden object game based around repetitive HO scenes in a small handful of locations. I can't say it's particularly good, but the twist on an old story, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1646433854]incorporation of trivia, and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1649735843]bizarre design choices gave it an enjoyable charm, certainly worth the 49 cents I paid for it on sale.

    Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Curator Group for more reviews Red Riding Hood – Star Crossed Lovers is an adventure/hidden object game with a unique take on the classic fairy tale. I won’t be getting into major spoilers, but the game has a pretty bizarre premise. Immediately upon starting the game, it is revealed that in this version of the story, the “Big Bad Wolf” is actually a werewolf. As you can probably guess from the title, this game is a love story…

    BLAND. BLAAAAND. This has the most hidden object scenes of any HO game I've played yet, in the smallest amount of scenes I've ever seen. It's almost nothing but finding objects and it drags SO MUCH. Your time and money would be better spent on another game even if the HO part is your favorite part.

    Quit playing almost immediately; awful writing and the puzzles are so easy you might as well just click randomly to find objects. Hard pass; sometimes I love this genre, but this isn't one of those times.

    https://youtu.be/2bHLeZ_yDi4 Despite the claim of being lovers, Red & Wolf lack any real onscreen chemistry. Heavy on the Hidden Object puzzles the lack of minigame variety may exhaust players for repetitive play.

    Sound effects are really irritating and erroneous at times. There is a sound of creaking or fingers rubbing on a window that plays over and over during the HO puzzles. I had to turn volume down because it was distracting and repetitive. After awhile it made me angry because it was totally erroneous and made no sense to what was on screen. I realize this is Microids Indie, but for a studio that has made some very popular games, this game felt thrown together and poorly made. It seemed more…

    Red Riding Hood - Star Crossed Lovers is a mobile app-like hidden object/point and click adventure game with a Red Riding Hood theme (the Brothers Grimm are surely rolling in their graves as their stories are so badly exploited). Tap your iPhone screen through numerous pointless hidden object type mini-puzzles and wonder why you spent thousands of dollars on a GeForce card just so you can use your PC like a mobile phone. As usual, there's nothing here for serious PC gamers, it's just more…

    The puzzle aren't really challenging, and there's mostly just HOG. Also, while skipping dialogues, the game suddenly took me to the main menu and all my progress was wiped. Not gonna bother trying again.

    I’d probably go with a mixed review if I could. The gameplay was okay, but the story was pretty bad. There are plot holes and it ends abruptly. However, I got it on sale for forty-nine cents and the gameplay was worth that, so I’ll go with a thumbs up.

    Another great game that also made a game about Alice in Wonderland. The gameplay is really easy, but its cool that they added a feature in the HOS´ after turning. The infos and anecdotes to the fairytale red riding hood are really nice and cool. All in one a really cool game which consists most of HOS´. I can really recommend it.

    Pathetic !!! Originally tried to play this a long time ago but it kept freezing. Didn't experience any issues this time. No idea why it ran ok now. No achievements or trading cards. The music and sound options have no volume control, just on or off. No voice acting (probably a good thing), uses text dialogue boxes. It's a very short game with a weak story and abrupt ending. The HO scenes are repeated. Some of the items were impossible to see without using the hint option. Whilst the game…

    For such a low price, Red Riding Hood is a very nice game to play. No hard thinking required, just some chill hidden object searching. It took me a bit less then 3h to finish the game. Some things I liked: - The pictures are clear enough to find the objects. - The 'wherewolf eyesight' to find certain objects just adds a little extra - The puzzles/tasks in between are a fun variation during the game.

    Red Riding Hood – Star Crossed Lovers is a compact, unusual hidden-object adventure that reimagines the classic fairy tale through the lens of forbidden romance and dark fantasy. Rather than portraying the wolf as a villain, the story reframes him as a conflicted werewolf secretly in love with Red Riding Hood — a twist that immediately signals the game’s intent to blend fairy-tale whimsy with melodrama. The werewolf’s loyalty is tested when his clan demands he sacrifice Red Riding Hood to prove…

    This game has always been very special to me. I had it several years ago and moved on with life but never forgot it. I kept thinking of it and started an active search but couldn't find it back, one day I finally found it here on Steam and was thrilled. The atmosphere is fantastic! Game play is smooth and seamless. The graphics are more than acceptable. It's fairly long with tons of areas and puzzles to explore. The soundtrack is very relaxing and pleasant. I've owned and played countless…

    This game was bizarre. It was like a weird Twilight x Red Riding Hood fanfic. Would recommend checking it out just because of how weird it is. The dialogue made me laugh a few times. A few interesting puzzles, a few tedious ones (the skip button exists even though it's not well labelled, it's in the top centre of the screen). Mostly hidden object scenes with a few unique aspects. Nothing special, but worth it on sale

    It plays exactly like a $0.19 HOG. So if you're a HOG collector, pick this one up when it's near the $0.19 I paid for it. If you're looking for a similar experience for free, there's hundreds of these on the Microsoft store. I don't regret my purchase and I hope to play more of this game in small increments over time.

    This game tried but it didn't quite make it all the way, it had its ups but the downs unfortunately outweighed it all. One thing I thought was cool was on each scene there was faint wolf symbols you could find and when you clicked on them it would give you various fairy tale or Little Red Riding Hood facts. While this was a nice change form most HOGs this quickly got tiring because those fact texts used a cursive font which made it a chore to read on top of the character dialogues. The hidden…

    Red Riding Hood - Star Crossed Lovers is a Hidden Object game featuring a short well written story and many background anecdotes related to the fairy tale. The scenes are rich and colourful. The music tracks are nice but there are only a few and it gets repetitive. The hidden objects are sometimes hard to see and the game does not offer any options to change the resolution or the contrast. However, you are allowed unlimited clicks without penalties (except for the wolf growling) and…

    This is a rather short hardcore hidden-object game. It has lots of challenging, straightforward hidden-object scenes wrapped around a simple story and is peppered with lots of educational information about the history of the Red Riding Hood fable. I enjoyed it for what it is, but I think it would have limited appeal. If solving one difficult hidden-object scene after another is not your cup of tea then look elsewhere. My main criticism is that the music is very repetitive, and I'm also not so…

    It's a Hidden Object Game, so expect that. It's also $2, less then $1 on sale. At that price, I think it's fair. While an end is implied, I would have liked to see to continue on for a couple more scenes, just to finish things out.

    Just non-stop finding objects with VERY little puzzle solving involved. On top of that, those characters LOVE to chat, and you have no ways to skip conversations. I had the same problem as another player -- while trying to end the conversation as fast as can, the game just took me to the main menu and all progress was gone. It's too boring for me to play again.

Is no achievements except I you want to do screen shots, Cheap to buy so i suppose its least for for 3 hours or less.

As others have pointed out, some of the mini games don't close when completed successfully and sometimes the hints seemed vague at best. The mini puzzles asides, it's actually a HOG with a cute werewolf love story, a lot of search areas and you can even zoom in on the object hunts themselves, which makes playing much easier.

Length is short, but the price is low, so no biggie there. In the end, I enjoyed it and as a bonus, there are neat little trivial tidbits scattered throughout the game with lore and history about the Red Riding Hood story.
