Once Upon a Crime
Fairytale detectives this week in Once Upon a Crime: A Fairytale Whodunnit. You play as PI Red (formerly known as Little Red Riding Hood) investigating the murder of the Big Bad Wolf. Kind of like a reverse TWAU in a way I suppose!
As the screenshot shows, the game is also a long way from TWAU in look and feel, being bright and cheerful (and therefore not for everybody!) It also has actual puzzles, some of which are really pretty good. (Not to put down TWAU which is a great game).
The story has a twist and the game is gently humorous throughout. The music fits the theme pretty well.
I like the art a lot and, if you’re in the mood for a light airy and fun little game which will still present a challenge, then this is definitely one to give a try and enjoy wondering around the fairytale world of Parodise.

So it’s a bit like Hoodwinked! and especially its sequel then?
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Thanks Intense Degree for the screenshot & more importantly your description of the game as it’s piqued my interest!

Never seen them tbh but I expect OUAC is more cutsie!
