I am lucky enough to have several fantastic mother figures in my life. They have all helped shape me into the nerdy person I am today. However, after some thought, I do not recall ever playing a video game where the main character is a mother. Sure, your mom will send you mail in Animal Crossing, but she is not the main character. On the other hand, I can think of several games where a father is the main character, such as God of War and The Last of Us. Luckily, developer Attu Games is here to change that. Today, we will be discussing Scarlet Deer Inn. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

Scarlet Deer Inn‘s Plot

Scarlet Deer Inn follows the story of Elise, a mother of two. She, by all accounts, is an ordinary mother. Bards are not singing tales of her trials and tribulations. However, her circumstances will change, leading to a path full of extraordinary situations. Elise will meet a colorful cast of characters, delve into deep dungeons, and face monsters head-on. Elise seems to have more on her plate than she ever bargained for. With her trusty torch by her side, there is nothing she cannot overcome.

Features Unique to Scarlet Deer Inn

Thoughts on Scarlet Deer Inn

When I first heard about Scarlet Deer Inn, I immediately went to the FAQ page on Steam. I have recently tried embroidery, and the idea that it could be used as an art style in a video game fascinated me. The art shared so far is beautiful, and the fact that Attu Games is a two-person team amazes me. This husband and wife team has independently done everything from the artwork and music to the programming. When this title is released, it will be a gem within the gaming community. While not much information surrounds this game yet, I wholeheartedly believe it will become a staple for most indie gamers. Ultimately, I look forward to more news about Scarlet Deer Inn in the coming year.

Odds & Ends

According to Steam, this game has no official release date. However, gamers will eventually be able to enjoy it on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. I recommend checking out the Attu Games’s Twitter page for more information. If you are interested in playing a platformer game today, I would read the article on Bread & Fred. Overall, I look forward to seeing both titles bloom over time.
