Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries Hits Early Access

GRIN Studio’s Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries, which is set to release on March 17th, is available on Steam Early Access. Watch the latest trailer featuring in-game footage below this report.

GRIN founder and CEO Wim Wouters said, that “The team at GRIN has been working hard on the game and we’re looking forward to receiving valuable player feedback through Early Access so that we can deliver an exciting experience that Red would be proud of.”

Take a look at the Key Features list:

A twisted fairy tale story – GRIN’s take on the Red Riding Hood legacy is not an ordinary bedtime story. Four years ago, Red Riding Hood’s father, Joseph, lead engineer for Woolfe Industries, died in a work accident. At least, that’s what his family was told. All grown up, our heroine is ready to unveil the truth and present the bill for her tragic loss.

A Rich, Visual Experience – Woolfe’s atmospheric artwork lets the player explore a rich fantasy universe centered around a city paralyzed with fear and occupied by tin soldiers. Sneak through the slums, descend into the city sewer system, run through the harbor and escape the city into an evil forest, where gravity, wolves and scary fairies are out to get you.

2.5D Action-Platforming – The tale’s 2.5D levels combine the simplicity of side scrolling gameplay with three-dimensional puzzles.

Fast, Axe Wielding Combat – Armed with her trusty axe, Red will need to skillfully execute combos to strike at her foes’ weaknesses.
Deranged Fairytale Enemies – On her journey, Red faces some bloody encounters with “familiar fairytale faces” such as The Pied Piper, tin soldiers, big bad wolves, scary fairies and – of course – her nemesis B.B. Woolfe.

The first of two fully fledged, stand-alone yet successive volumes, Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries is now available on Steam for $9.99, €9.99 and £6.99. Red’s journey will continue in Volume 2, which is scheduled for release on PC during August 2015. Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries is also planned for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year.

REMEMBER: Early Access only applies to the first volume of Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries.
