I really like this reimagining of the "Wizard of Oz" as a horror story. In particular making the scarecrow a zombie that wants brains is pretty ingenious! Nice pixel graphics as well, they fit the story quite well!

a grim retelling of the wizard of oz. I enjoyed the graphic interface, and sense of open world exploration.
I enjoyed this greatly. It’s gorgeous, which never hurts, with a very muted yet vivid colour palette, and the yellow brick road makes a great mechanism for indicating exits (though a few of them didn’t quite line up as well they could have). I really felt for the poor Munchkins, pity I couldn’t do more for them!
I’m going to preface this by admitting that I had consulted Andrew Schultz’s map for a small portion of the initial part of the game. Overall, I loved how it was designed in a way that I could explore additional parts of the game. It’s nice to have something different in a good way. The changes from the book was quite interesting and I found that the challenges (where versions of the book’s characters cameoed in) was quite fun. There’s also a nice twist at the end, but I’m not going to spoil it.
The macabre version of the scare crow, tin man, and lion gave me a chuckle.
