The plot of Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries takes place in a fantastic, steampunk world on the brink of an industrial revolution. The heroine is a 14-year-old girl who, having experienced her father’s death, decides to take revenge on B.B. Woolfe – the CEO of the company responsible for her family’s misfortunes. Mechanically, the title is similar to the Trine franchise, in which platformer elements are mixed with combat, solving simple logic puzzles, and stealth sequences. Red Riding Hood’s main weapon is an axe with which she can execute special attacks and diverse combos. The title features detailed visuals, mixing cartoonish and realistic style.

A platformer with puzzle game features, developed by Upper One Game studio. The story of Never Alone is based on Inuit beliefs, with players taking control of a young girl from the Inupiaq tribe who sets on a dangerous journey with her white fox to save her people and stop the arrival of the eternal blizzard. During her adventure, she will meet many creatures from Inuit legends, such as Sky People, Rolling Heads or Blizzard Man. Never Alone presents its world from the side perspective, as we traverse vast levels, avoid traps, fight enemies and solve puzzles. The single player campaign lets us switch between the girl and the fox, both of which have unique abilities that are necessary to progress; however, control is split between two players in the cooperation mode. Never Alone features good-looking three-dimensional visuals accompanied by a soundtrack based on traditional Inuit music. Interestingly, the narrator speaks in Inuit language and the dialogue is translated into English through subtitles.
