The verdict
A quirky American McGee platformer where you corrupt fairy tales, with great art and dark humor but very repetitive, shallow gameplay. Skip it if you want challenge or variety.
Great for
Fans of American McGee, dark fairy-tale humor and short, mindless casual sessions
Main risk
One repeated run-and-corrupt loop that gets boring after a few episodes
