Whenever a trailer opens with whimsical music, complete with wind-charms and the like, we know we are in for a very laid-back, relaxing game. Perhaps some mystery and intrigue is thrown in for good measure. Well, the case certainly seems to be as such in SCARF on Xbox and PlayStation.
Fulfil or Rebel
Take a first glance at SCARF on Xbox and PlayStation – following a PC release in 2021 – and you’ll be instantly reminded of Journey, or possibly RiME. Both are bright, colourful adventures that take you on an emotional journey, with a smattering of puzzles to solve.
You play as a boy destined to be a magical hero, aided on his adventure by his dragon-shaped scarf. Will he fulfil this potential, or rebel against this prophecy? By using the titular scarf to jump, run and fly across many beautiful environments, learning new abilities to overcome some tricky puzzles, and taking in the flowy music, we will perhaps find our answer. Developers Uprising Studios certainly want you to take time with your experience.
