GamesCreedMymunah TasnimJul 20264.3/5Scarlet Deer Inn is a short, handcrafted folk horror story wrapped in one of the most distinctive art styles you'll see in an indie release this year. The platforming is functional rather than groundbreaking, the chase sequences repeat themselves more than they should, and the late-game combat feels tacked on.

The Indie InformerJill GrodtJul 20267.5/10Like a ghostly tale told around a campfire, there are few satisfying answers to make players feel they’ve definitively concluded the experience. However, as in the grimmest of stories, the ending enables the game’s fearsome mysteries to fester in my imagination to live on longer than Scarlet Deer Inn's short runtime.
