About the Game:
Red and the Whispering Woods is a reimagining of the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale. The game attempts to subvert some of the damsel-in distress tropes of the traditional story and reflect on a darker truth about violence and predatory relationships. In this game, Little Red has agency while she faces a threat that’s closer to home than the original. It’s a scary journey into the woods and I hope you're ready.

I cried at the end, this was the best game I ever played. Kudos to the creator and the team.
is this blind accessible?
Hello! Unfortunately not at the moment, but this is something I can look into for a future update!
that'd be great!
Is there a way to play it without voice/with keyboard buttons? I tried to play it with many microphones I have but they either won't work or they do work but the effect comes later
Hi Wolfy! Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately I don't think so, it was never built with keyboard in mind. I can take a look on my end and see if there's a workaround. Apologies!
Thanks for playing! Appreciate it!
WHAT THE FUCK
I SAT IN THE DARK SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT FOR 30 MINUTES AND THE FINAL SCENE DIDN'T ACTIVATE UNTIL I GOT HERE TO WRITE A COMMENT
Hey! Sorry just seeing this now. I'm guessing this is a bug? Hope your lungs are okay! 🥺
Couldn't play. The game would crash every time I tried to calibrate my headphones.
