RedRidinghood


In RedRidinghood Donna Leishman retells the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The story can be followed in multiple windows and although the story is mostly linear, there are several clickable objects that can be missed and affect how much of the story is shown. I really enjoyed this and am glad Leishman did not follow the same interaction that was in deviant. I did not have to search constantly for what to click on to advance and was interested and surprised on a second viewing to see new material. Discovering Red Riding Hoods diary added to the story but was not necessary to finish giving me enough time to play it again rather than get frustrated at how long it took to get through once. The diary reveals she had a crush on the boy who pursues her on his scooter however things went in a darker direction after breaking her heart and he is portrayed as the wolf. Giving him hairy arms was a particularly clever way of displaying the visual representation. There are many hidden clickables in this story to search for and is worth the time searching them out for new creative additions to the storyline.
