Red Riding Hood and the Big Good Wolf?
I really like point and click games, because they always focus more on the plot and they're also short enought to play almost anytime you want. This game is one of the beast of the sort I have played in a while. I loved the fairy tale-like athmosphere, it reminded me of the Gretel and Hansel-series.
The story is also nice, and the puzzles were not too complicate to solve. I'm really not the most patient sort so I often have to use walkthrough atleast once. While playing this one, I didn't. I also thank you about the fact that there wasn't a single number-based puzzle. I really hate those.
The world of the game is created well and it has many nice details. The diaries work well for the story and were not too long to read. The art looks good and I especially liked the look of that spirit in the woods.
Overall, this is a stunning game. The only problems are its length (but I know that this is just the first episode and you'll keep bringing us more) and those annoying description bars VitaminX mentioned. Still, I think this is your best game so far. Great job, work hard for the sequel too!
