YMMV / Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf

Go To

  • Moral Event Horizon: The Perpetrator killed Mary for trying to stop him from getting Rosetta's eyes, claiming that she had stolen the "Master's eyes". All this, plus the reveal that the Master was a stuffed rabbit and the voices were in his head all along, can make the game's attempts to make the player sympathize with him come off as forced.
    • Also, Ster killing Camille in most bad ends for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
  • Squick: The decayed severed hand in the attic.
  • Tear Jerker: Camille's backstory, which involves him suffering violent outburts from his feral instincts, the death of his father and his mother running away. He also lived in complete isolation, hiding from hunters and waiting for the mother who never returned and having to rely in Mary's medicines for him.
    • The ending "Wolf of the Stars". Ster decides to take Mary’s medicine, which will erase him from Rosetta’s mind. Camille burns down Mary’s house on Ster’s orders, the perpetrator escaped and Rosetta is now an Empty Shell.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The game sure does try to make you like the Perpetrator towards the end... after already revealing that he's a murderer. The fact that he committed those murderers because "his stuffed bunny made him do it" doesn't help.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: All about the Academy in which Mary worked for. All we know is that it's a place where they developed fields such as alchemy and psychology. Camille and Rosetta were adopted by Mary in order to study his lycantrophism and her Split Personality respectively. It's also implied that the Perpetrator himself was a subject of the Academy as well.
  • This Is Your Premise on Drugs: The plot is basically Little Red Riding Hood meets The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
  • The Woobie:
    • Rosetta. A girl who lived with an abusive Shell-Shocked Veteran for a father until she developed a second personality and killed him in self-defense. She was subsequently adopted by Mary, who was more interested studying about Rosetta's Split Personality. Not to mention that she witnessed Mary's murder by the hands of the Perpetrator. Even in the Golden Ending, she loses her split personality forever. Someone give this kid a hug!
    • Camille. Born from the Interspecies Romance between a human and a werewoman, his parents died on mysterious circumstances and lived by his own for most of his life until being adopted by Mary, who was more interested about studying his lycantrophism. After escaping of the house, fearing that he'll hurt Mary, he returns only to find she was murdered. Even in the Golden Ending, the medicines which helped him control his feral instincts ran out and he has to deal with it on his own.
    • The Perpetrator himself. It's implied he was a subject of the Academy and lived in isolation until meeting the Master, who forced him to kill innocent people. He accepted because the Master was the only one nice to him and in the Golden Ending, he breaks down after realizing that the Master was his own Split Personality and he was always alone. The Omake Room reveals he decides to atone for his sins and is imprisoned off-screen.
