Rooted Red
A downloadable game for Windows
Game Description
On her way to her grandmother’s house, Red realizes she is not alone in the forest. Something is chasing her.
She runs without stopping, until she unknowingly enters a looping world—an endless forest. Though it appears vast, Red knows she is moving in circles, while the number of creatures hunting her continues to grow.
With no escape in sight, Red has only 7 seconds to use what surrounds her and create ammunition to survive.
