  This is [I]Dark Parables[/I] #4, which is very loosely based on Red Riding Hood with a mix of other fairly tale elements, especially The Boy Who Cried Wolf as a bonus adventure. Though this series had a bad start with [I]Curse of the Briar Rose[/I], it has been solid since [I]Dark Parables 2: The Exiled Prince[/I]. Indeed, it keeps getting better. The drawings are truly excellent and the gameplay, though unremarkable, has hit a stride. If you enjoyed the previous games, you'll enjoy this one. Note that these are hidden-fragment games rather than classic hidden-object games.

  This is a very good game! Art is beautiful, music is spooky and lovely, and the sound effects sounds great. Characters are well written and sympathetic, and the story is simple and well told. Puzzles are clever and intriguing, and there's plenty of hidden object puzzles for anyone who loves looking for hidden objects. A great twist on fairytales, including Little Red Riding Hood.

  It does goes on sale sometimes, so you can buy on discount or in the bundle. In the previous game the devs started to care a great deal about animations so they're still quite good. The release order of Dark Parables is: Curse of Briar Rose The Exiled Prince Rise of the Snow Queen The Red Riding Hood Sisters The Final Cinderella Jack and the Sky Kingdom Ballad of Rapunzel The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Queen of Sands Goldilocks and the Fallen Star Swan Princess and the Dire Tree The Thief and the Tinderbox Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow Return of the Salt Princess The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise Portrait of the Stained Princess

  If you love fantasy worlds, beautify pictures, lots of hidden objects and puzzles, then go for any Dark Parable games. They are definitly worth the time. Loved all of them, especially the Red Riding Hood Sisters. Great.

  One of the best puzzle games I've played. The story was actually engaging and dramatic, plus I love the design of the villianess.

  I bought this Game last Winter Sale as I had been waiting for Ages for this and the other Dark Parables to go on Sale and I must say I dont regret it. First of all If you havent played any Dark Parables Games I recommend you to go back and play the first one as those games are meant to be played in Order. Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters Collector's Edition comes with the Main Story, a Bonus Story and some other Bonus Content such as a little Artbook, Bonus Puzzle Levels, the Soundtrack & Wallpapers The Voice Acting was once again very nicely made and the Art Style was absolutely beautiful! Although you couldn't change the resolution, you were able to use the Steam Overlay and also got Trading Cards now. I loved how you can collect during the Game pieces which will, once all of them are collected, give you a little background Story which is read to you buy a guy with a very soothing and calm voice. You can of course turn it off but you dont have to. The Hidden Object Scenes were rather well hidden and the Puzzles were challenging. I personally did like them alot and was surprised how well you can hide something in this game. The Story was absolutely lovely and reminded me a little bit on my Childhood just in a more Grimm way. All in all this Game is fantastic, however due to the fact that is rather short I do recommend getting it on Sale rather then for its base price of 10€.

  [b][u]Game Information[/u][/b] "Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters" Collector's Edition is a Fragmented Object game. The game was developed by Blue Tea Games and published by Big Fish Games Studio. "The Red Riding Hood Sisters" is the fourth episode of "Dark Parables." Previous episodes: "Curse of Briar Rose;" "The Exiled Prince" and "Rise of the Snow Queen." Since this is a collector's edition game, it comes with extra features that are not available in its' counterpart; the standard edition. [b][u]The Game Review[/u][/b] Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals for the game are nicely done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu as well. Gameplay There are three different game difficulty modes to choose from: Casual; Hard and Expert. There is no padlock feature that is available to lock the inventory panel in place. The inventory panel automatically comes stationary. There is a map in the game. The map is automatically given at the start of the game. The hidden object scenes consist of the following: Fragmented items. Some of these hidden object scenes may require a little or no interaction. The puzzles are fairly easy to solve without having the need to skip any of them. There are collectibles in the game: Parables. They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find. There are morphing objects (beyond objects) in the game. They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find as well. The morphing objects are used to refill the hint bar. Since this is a collector's edition game, there is a bonus chapter, but it can be accessed only after the main story is completed. Miscellaneous There are extra features in the game: Bonus Chapter; Bonus Puzzles; Wallpapers and Game's Strategy Guide. Most of these extra features can be accessed only after the entire game is completed. There are seven different trading cards to collect. Only four of those trading cards are given out by the game. There are several ways to get the rest of the trading cards: Purchased from the Steam's Community Market; Trade with friends; Booster Packs and its Booster Pack Creator. Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.

  Not the best Dark Parable game... Boring. Rapunzel was amazing plus it had the Wizard of Oz in the Bonus.

  [h1]Short version: 75%[/h1] Many consider The Red Riding Hood Sisters the best game in the Dark Parables series. While I would argue with that, I cannot deny that it is an excellent fragmented objects game. [h1]Long version:[/h1] You play as the famous Fairy Tale Detective, who, during one of her investigations, finds out that Red Riding Hood founded an entire sisterhood of leather-clad warrior women. And they are waging an all-out war with the dreaded Mist Wolves and their queen. Essentially, The Red Riding Hood Sisters is 2004's 'Van Helsing' with a female cast and in a fragmented game format. It is not as action-packed as a feature film, and the writing is a bit clichéd, but it can be pure awesome. There is drama, there are betrayals and deaths, and you can save the world at the end. What's not to love in this? If you like fragmented object scenes, you will get plenty. They repeat a bit, and they can be a bit dark, but they are better than in the previous three games. The puzzles are (yet again) fantastic: they are innovative, and there are many kinds of them. I wish I could say the same about the adventure-lite item hunt, but that portion is, honestly, annoying.

  The fourth installment of the Dark Parables series, this story features a girl gang called "Red Riding Hood Sisters", plus some other fairy tale characters and continues the story where the third finished. It features many different puzzles, you still can't fast travel between scenes, but the map is useful. Took 2.7 hours to beat with the extra adventure included, same as the third game.

  These games are always tons of fun and provide a nice challenge. Would be cool if there was an expert mode though for once you complete the hard mode

  Dark Parables is one of the BEST HOP game series I have run across and by far one of the most fun. I own almost the entire collection to date and would love to continue adding to my library. Buy the bundle or when they're on sale and you will literally have HOURS of fun. Each of these games takes me roughly 6 hours. Well worth it!

  Standard for this sort of oddball fairy tale mashup for this series. The main thing I missed was the ability to fast travel on the map. Play time reflects the COVID friendly/casual setting--you might get a bit longer playtime out of a harder setting. Also, and most importantly for me, I played this with Proton and it worked flawlessly.

  Despite the obvious plot twist, it's a decent story and good puzzles. As gorgeous as usual.

  Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters is my favourite title in the series so far! The story telling is really great and the settings and hidden object scenes were beautiful. I didn't have any issues with this particular game either, so all around a great experience!

  [h1] From notes about Order of the Red Riding Hood Sisters: [/h1] [i] "A long, long time ago, a young orphan girl named Isabella set off for the forest to visit her grandma. Wearing her favorite red riding hood while humming a happy tune, she skipped down the forest path. As she entered her grandma's house, a wolf suddenly sprang out, slaying her grandmother. Shocked, she tried to escape, only to find that the wolf was too fast foe her. As death loomed over Isabella, a hunter miraculously appeared, defeating the wolf and saving the girl's life. Feeling pity for Isabella who just lost the last of her family, the Hunter adopted her. Desiring to become stronger to prevent future tragedies, Isabella asked the Hunter for training. She soon became a skillful and powerful warrior and spent many happy days patrolling with the Hunter. Years passed until one day, the Hunter was slain by a pack of varacious wolves. Devastated, isabella vowed to carry on the Hunter's legacy to keep the fores safe and to protect the weak from harm." [/i] [b] The First Sister. [/b]

It's very straightforward for the most part, although you may have some difficulty if you're a total idiot like me. The story in this particular game is quite interesting, but I will not spoil it for you (Play the game yourself or find a Let's Play on YouTube). The graphics are excellent as always, and the gameplay is pretty good. Unfortunately, one of the complaints I have with the previous game, Rise of the Snow Queen, continues with this game. You are not allowed to replay the main story without starting an entirely new save, and you are also not allowed to explore the world after you complete the story, which is very disappointing. I'm less disappointed with the lack of a secret room since it seems like there were no missed opportunities to add in a secret room, but I still think the lack of a secret room is a tiny bit of a letdown. Either way, I'd still recommend this game.
