Attu Games has recently released a demo on Steam for their upcoming game, Scarlet Deer Inn. This narrative platformer stands out for its unique blend of storytelling, art, and gameplay, offering players an experience that is both emotionally engaging and visually striking.
Scarlet Deer Inn takes players on a journey through a world inspired by Slavic folklore. The game follows Elise, a mother of two, who embarks on an unexpected adventure. Elise is an ordinary woman with no grand heroic background, but her journey will take her through dark dungeons, mysterious lands, and encounters with both intriguing and terrifying characters.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Scarlet Deer is its art style. Every character in the game is depicted through embroidery, a unique and intricate technique that adds a layer of texture and warmth to the visuals. The backgrounds are hand-painted, creating a beautiful contrast with the embroidered characters and immersing players in a world that feels both real and fantastical.
In Scarlet Deer, your survival often depends on the light of your torch as you explore dark dungeons filled with monsters. The game challenges players to find shortcuts and hidden paths, which can make future playthroughs easier and reveal more about the game’s story and characters.
