‘Woolfe’ Returns Red Riding Hood to Her Darker Roots
Fairy tales are terrible things. If you’re familiar with their origins, most of the stories that many of us grew up on are dark and maybe even mildly traumatizing. In Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries, we get to see everyone’s favorite red hooded heroine take on hordes of bad guys, possibly even a wolf or two, in a “non-sugarcoated steampunk fairy tale” with a quirky, Tim Burton-esque art style that inspires aesthetic comparisons to American McGee’s take on Alice in Wonderland.
Woolfe is a sidescroller with a bit of platforming, drama and dark twists. Its developer is using Charles Perrault’s original — and significantly darker — story as inspiration, rather than the somewhat less twisted Grimm version, which I am all for. Get familiar with it below.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
