It’s weird that the roles of the kids are reversed. It’s usually Hansel that saves the day. But instead it’s Gretel helping her useless brother. I like it.

[@fish_and-chips]

I disagree, originally the children are cohesive and work together to achieve their goals, Gretel helps collect stones and breadcrumbs, she unlocked the cage and lured the witch to the cauldron, or in some stories a stove. Hansel drops the crumbs and stones to and helps gretel through the woods, and he pushed the witch into the cauldron, or stove.

[@DimitriPendleton]

This game had the most nerve racking and chilling atmosphere. The style and visuals alone make it so grim and haunting that you feel like you're watching an adult swim cartoon, only much dark and scarier. The mother herself without words but grunts makes you fear for these children. The somber music and tune horned ambient brings that sense of uncertainty. You have no clue what happens or how will it end. These kids are on the run and are all alone, ready to be slaughtered by mother nature's cruelty. It makes you wonder why Disney think it was good to turn grim stories like these into kid-friendly epic tales of magic and fairytale wonder.
