Play This Story: The Book of Red Shadows Review
I was given the privilege of experiencing this Psychological Horror Experience during their media release and it was the most mesmerizing experience I ever had. Every scenario presented was penned in detailed as the story launched into more complications than you would ever expect. The choices were open-ended, giving you more control over the path you would like to take.
The Book of Red Shadows not only captivates my attention but it was something I look forward to daily. The endless possibility of where the story will end up made me eager to read the next email. I felt a sense of loss when the 10 days ended, wishing that it would have been longer.
