Rear Pheles: Red of Another

About

You’re trapped in a recurring nightmare where a werewolf hunts you through a shadowy forest. One night the dream bleeds into reality as you’re ambushed on a secluded path. A girl in a red hood saves you, claiming to be Red Riding Hood, armed with scissors and a gun. She insists you team up to survive the Wolf’s next move. This visual novel blends mystery and supernatural horror with branching choices that shape your escape. The game twists the fairy tale into a dark, modern mystery. Matatabi’s signature storytelling leans into atmospheric tension and character dynamics, though the Vita version limits broader reach. While it hasn’t charted major sales, fans of narrative-driven horror note its fresh take on folklore. Shorter than most entries in the genre, it focuses on a single central mystery with a few possible endings.

Storyline

Lately I keep having the same dream every night, where I'm being chased by something in an unfamiliar forest. But I always wake up at the same part. Then one day, after having had the dream for several nights in a row... I was heading home late one night after working at the library when I found that my usual route was blocked off due to an accident. So I was walking along a dim path that I typically don't use, when I heard a voice call out... "I found youuu!" I turned to see a werewolf, complete with wolf ears and a tail-- The werewolf attacked me out of nowhere, and as I struggled to escape, I saw a figure floating in the moonlight... "--I won't let you do that." My savior was a girl in a red hood. She was holding large scissors in one hand and a gun in the other. "I'm going to eat you. Of that you can be sure..." the werewolf said with a grin, before disappearing into the darkness. My legs were shaking from fear, and I couldn't move. The hooded girl asked me if I was okay. "I am Red Riding Hood." The girl who called herself Red Riding Hood explained that she had left her picture book and traveled here to this time period in pursuit of the Wolf. Although, she was a little different from the Little Red Riding Hood I remember... Little Red Riding Hood explained that we had no way of knowing when the Wolf would attack again, so she would protect me from now on. And so we decided to live together... Why is Red Riding Hood pursuing the Wolf...? Why is the Wolf after me...?
