The duo have to traverse a spooky, projector-screen world to escape the deadly encroaching Darkness that seeps up from below, but there\u2019s a catch. They are magically linked \u2013 if either of them die, then they both die. This leaves the Big Bad Wolf deprived of a tasty human snack, and instead the sole protector of one.\r\n\r\nFor the player controlling the Big Bad Wolf, they have a number of attacks at their disposal; they can huff and puff to hit their enemies at long range, or claw and bite them to inflict more damage at close range. While they can wipe out the Woodcutters, Witches and Trolls that hunt them down, they cannot ascend the level to escape the deadly darkness.\r\n\r\nThe player controlling Little Red Riding Hood cannot fight, and has much lower health than the Big Bad Wolf. However, they have one skill the Big Bad Wolf does not \u2013 they can jump, and when they are in close proximity with the Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood can help them jump. And in a world full of platforms, that is crucial. Both characters need the other to survive.\r\nWhile facing old enemies and kicking their ass!\r\nSo, find a friend to platform and fight,\r\nIf you struggle, you can switch players at a Transforming Light.\r\nMake haste, press Start, and answer their plea,\r\nAs the \u2018Wolf and the \u2018Hood embark on The Grimm Journey.\r\n","title":"A Grimm Journey"}
