Personally, I'm still in the midst of playing it -- it's not a particularly amazing game, but the style's nice and I like well enough what I've played of it so far. I hear it's very short though, and that's a main reason for the poor reviews. Considering their budget, of course it's going to be short! But if you're a random player who doesn't know what their budget constraints were, the visuals might make you think the budget was higher, and so the game should be longer, etc.

(Posting partially in case the game disappears from Steam. It was bundled for as low as $4.00 / $2.50 preorder in Groupees Be Mine 19.)

Damn, that's actually quite disappointing as I was hoping to see more of Woolfe in the future. Shame..

I've heard the game ends on a cliffhanger as well so we will never find out what happens :(

Hopefully the developers can summarize the ending of the story in the discussion thread?

That's unfortunate. I wasn't totally happy with Woolfe, and some parts made me want to put down the game, like that one boss fight and a few mechanics, but I thought it was an interesting game with a beautiful world and design, and the few issues didn't keep me from enjoying it.

It's always sad to see these passionate studios close down =/
I haven't played the game myself but it most definitely caught my eye.

Oh, yeah, the guys 4 tram stops away from my place.
Sad to see a studio gone, even though their game wasn't anything I'd call interesting.

The same happened with KrissX when Regolith went bust. If Steam doesn't have someone to send money to then they can no longer sell the game. It all depends on if someone buys up the rights.

Seems like good news for Kickstarter backers ahead - Rebellion (Sniper Elite) bought over the IP!

Whoa that's great news. I actually liked the first game and was sad that nothing else will ever come out of it :-) Not a backer tho

Thanks for sharing, we need more old-school platformers for PC.

Got this in my press inbox today.

~October 21, 2015 - Independent UK developer Rebellion announced today it has purchased all assets and intellectual property rights related to Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries.

Originally developed by GRIN in Belgium, Woolfe was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter and its first volume released on Steam earlier this year. It brought to life the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood in a dark fantasy universe, beautifully rendered in Unreal Engine 3 across challenging 2.5D puzzle-platforming.

However in August, GRIN founder Wim Wouters published a heartfelt blog post explaining that GRIN was requesting bankruptcy and that neither the series’ promised second volume nor the outstanding additional Kickstarter rewards (including art books, posters and a boxed edition) would be shipped to backers.

As part of today's announcement, Rebellion has made it clear that it intends to honour Kickstarter pledges by delivering all outstanding physical rewards to backers as soon as possible.

"We're really keen to do the right thing by the Woolfe backers," explained Jason Kingsley, Rebellion’s CEO and Creative Director.

"Just because we’ve joined the Woolfe project much further down the road doesn’t mean we shouldn’t respect the people who made it happen in the first place. If a backer hasn’t received the reward they pledged for, we’re going to do our best to get it to them, even if we have to make it ourselves.”

As for the game’s second episode and the future of the series, Rebellion has not yet made any decision on how it will use the Woolfe property in any further creative work. Rebellion owners Chris and Jason Kingsley took to Woolfe’s Kickstarter page to post a detailed update and FAQ, and encouraged current backers and owners to get in touch.

It's not a bad IP, so hopefully they find some capable designer to continue it.

Don't forget:

  • Woolfe Fairytale Zombie Army
  • Alien vs. Predator vs. Woolfe
  • Judge Red (Judge Dredd crossover, since Rebellion owns the rights to the 2000 AD setting and all it's characters.)
