About This Game

Redswood VR is a virtual retelling of the Red Riding Hood story. In this tale, you play as both Red and then the Huntsman, each separately tasked with making their way through a dying and unrecognizable forest from their pasts to the inevitable conclusion at Granny's house.

As Red, you recount the past and discover new things in the forest, while rekindling your love for tree climbing and refreshing your skills with your old trusty slingshot. Granny's house awaits, as does the forest.

As the Huntsman, you must uncover the mystery of what happened to Red, and why she hasn't returned. Hired for a job, you soon discover this gig is far more personal than you realized. You must use your skills as a huntsman and former woodsman to traverse the forest, avoiding or plowing through danger, and finding out what happened to the missing girl.

Play as both, play the story, or play around in living, breathing forest. Walk, run, jump, climb, shoot, throw, swim, and swing.

Key features

-Various forms of world locomotion, including teleporting, arm swinging to walk, climbing rocks and trees, and grapple hooking around like your favorite wallcrawler. Choice in movement designed to maximize flexibility and provide comfortable options for all players.
-A deeper look into the characters of Red and the Huntsman, exploring their thoughts and motivations beyond the context of the fable.
-A forest playground from both character's past, completely open to exploration and traversal.

I'm sorry......why again isn't this a spider man simulator? If you took these exact mechanics and made a spiderman game with having web instead of a hook, and a large city with baddies to punch, I'd give you 100 bucks. Seriously guys, most unique mechanics i've seen in a Vive game. And I play alot lol I love the vive. The trailer for this does no justice. It should start the trailer off showing you can climb 1000 feet into the air and skydive and pretty much fly. along with hulk like jumping abilities and more than one character with bonus levels. WAYYYYY underated game. 100/10 MAKE A SPIDER MAN GAME. CALL MARVEL!

This is the first time I've went to the trouble of writing a review for a game. The reason is because this is one of the few vive games that has actually completely immersed me inside of another world, one that I am very fond of. There are very few vive games that focus more on atmosphere and exploring a large and beautiful world rather than throwing hundreds of enemies at you or focusing on high speed gameplay. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of exploration and atmosphere in fairytail type experiences.

I enjoyed this game much more than I thought I would, and it is well worth the $4 price tag. If you are a fan of the Little Red Riding Hood story, or want to try out a range of VR locomotion methods, buying this game is a no-brainer. The game is fairly straightforward, but that is a good thing. This allows you to experiment with the great number of locomotion methods to reach the end in your own pacing. Traditional teleportation is an option, as are swinging your arms to move, free climbing on any surface, jumping, floating, and using a hookshot. I personally found the arm-swinging method to be my favorite, as I could use it while walking in place to slowly meander through the forest in the manner I would were I actually walking through a forest. This game is a immersive as you want it to be. Combat is a bit frantic, but not unsatisfying. I definitely felt unsettled at certain parts of the game, which is proof enough to me that the atmosphere was exactly what it needed to be. With th...

FINALLY!!! A game that allows you to walk by swinging your arms! I hate teleporting (although it lets you use this option if you want to) and directional pad locomotion(this is the worst). Anyway, at first i was kinda saddened by the low polgon count of the scenery but once you get out of the beginning area it gets much better and you realize this is probably a compromise because everything is open world. The art direction is nice and I love the voiceover. I still havent beaten the game but so far its really fun, I feel like I am really walking/climbing through some dilapidated forest to find grandma's house. for $4 bucks this is a no brainer, definitely get it. This is the kind of game I hope more devs will make.

Very cool little game. It has platforming, collecting, and some combat. The visuals are alright for what they are, a little barebones but workable and they create a pleasant atmosphere. My only issues are minor ones, such as there not being better ambient sound and fall damage not being a thing, despite the game providing you with a mean of avoiding it. It makes the mechanic pointless. Other than that, it has some cool systems like arm-swinger locomotion and climbing/grappling. Definitely worth a pick up for the price.

there are definitely things to like about this game, and the asking price is not particularly high, but in the end, the negatives outweigh the positives for me here. you can check out gameplay and reaction [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeRZMuSjRL8]here[/url] the chief problem here is that the level is a big mess. in particular, this is a problem when you play as the huntsmen at night. there are giant, oddly shaped trees, and giant oddly shaped rock structures. the valley where you're supposed to walk is often awkwardly shaped aswell, and i frequently found myself unclear as to where i was supposed to go. this is exacerbated by the fact that you can climb just about anything. don't get me wrong, that's awesome. but because the path you need to take is SO unclear, i found myself climbing up mountains that i probably wasn't supposed to climb, and going into areas that, in a normal game, would be impossible to get into because they're blocked off. speaking of that, i also, on mu...

Beautiful looking game with sharp visuals and interesting mechanics. Deeply threaded story and thoughtful narrative. A bright sign of amazing things ahead for VR.

while the concept and gameplay were good, the execution was poor. For what it is though, I won't entirely knock it because it gave a decent attempt by what's seemingly one dev. I just couldn't reccomend it, especially since it appears to have been abandoned in early access.

here is my expirence. start up game. start figuring out how movement works. start figuring out how everything else works. start to have fun. start to get into it. start to get to into it. start to hear laughter stop to take off headset. start to ask a question girlfriend stops me "a 6'5" 250lbs man shouldn't skip." start wondering if she is still charging her phone. "oh if you need the charger it's free" stop wanting to live. 10/10 would ruin life again.
