Dora Looking for a bit of nightmare fuel wrapped up in a deceptively cute watercolour setting with some adorable moppet protagonists? Gretel and Hansel 2, from Mako Pudding, is finally here, and the strange saga continues. After the events of the first game, Gretel and Hansel find themselves stranded in the woods, and it isn't long before they're separated as well. Much longer than the first chapter, with more puzzles to solve and more areas to explore, this sequel should be a welcome treat for fans of the weird and morbid.

If you played the original, then you'll be familiar with the controls, which use either [WASD] or the [arrow] keys to move around, and the mouse to (usually) interact with things. Early on Gretel picks up a quaint Littlest Hobo-esque kerchief on a stick that she uses to carry the items she gathers, and you can open it by clicking on it and dragging items out to use them. Whenever you can interact with something, a cartoon bubble depicting an action appears above it when you get close enough. And, yes, there's even a mute button in the upper left corner if you get tired of the sound.

While your first objective is to reunite with Gretel's brother, it will quickly become apparent that you'll also want to find a way out of this forest which is filled with all manner of terrible waiting to happen to our intrepid heroine. Although you can die, and probably will at least once, death is a temporary setback and you'll resume playing from the last area you entered, and the auto-save means you can come back to the game whenever you like. Half the fun of the game lies in experimenting, so don't be afraid to make the obviously wrong choices now and again to see where they take you. Go ahead. Touch that bear with your soft, fleshy, chubby childlike hand. What could possibly go wrong. *flat stare*

Analysis: If you're of a certain age, the macabre tones herein are going to seem less like sacrilege to you. What Gretel and Hansel does really, really well is actually to capture the sense of creepy, wonderful strangeness that pervaded a lot of older children's movies, like Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal by way of Gullermo del Toro. While it's chock full of black humour and gore, including a lot of moments designed to make you feel like a terrible person for laughing at, it has a great otherworldly feeling with the strange spirits and denizens of the forest to explore that makes uncovering the dark secrets a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, Gretel and Hansel's biggest problem is that there's a lot of trial and error happening. Its offbeat world means that it isn't always immediately clear what you should do in any given situation, leading to that age old strategy of using everything in your inventory on everything else, everywhere. It doesn't help that finding the correct position to trigger an action button can frequently be a bit finicky, so even if you are using the right item in the right place, the game might not register it because you're not positioned just so.

Play both games in the Gretel and Hansel series:

Gretel and Hansel: Part 1
Gretel and Hansel: Part 2

Ultimately, this is the best kind of sequel; something that keeps all the elements of what made the original good and expands upon it in all the right ways. The finale may be a long time away, but judging by the impressive quality put forth in this middle chapter, we're going to have a lot to look forward to in the meantime. See? I'm a "glass half full" kinda gal. Of course, if I were Gretel, the glass would probably be full of nails and rabid rats. And also on fire. That girl has the worst luck.

J'ACCUSE, Dora!

We'll make you an honorary Canadian, but only after you realize that the Littlest Hobo is a DOG, not a little hobo kid who carries a red-and-white spotted bindle:

This really is a creepy game. The part with the tree thing really freaks me out. But I'm totally stuck already, and not sure what to do. The trouble is like you said in the review, I'm not sure if I'm missing one of those action-bubble things somewhere along the line. So far, most of the obvious ones have killed me. :(

After you get the

glasses

what is with the

bloody handprint/claw smear on the tree-thing's kitchen door with a trail to the fire?

Does it have anything to do with the burned-down house?

Grant, what do the children tell you about the food?

Don't eat plants. Eat the human remains or refuse the other option (which kills the kids).

And don't forget to drink up!

Wolf death: on the screen with the wolf walk towards him and don't click on the icon that appears, Gretel will run back to the gargoyle screen. Let the wolf catch you here.

A huge "Thank you!" to Mako for compiling this great walkthrough for us.

Unfortunately after I,

Got my face back from the face grabbing spaghetti monster and hansel started following me around again

My rucksack disappeared. I couldn't use any items and was therefore stuck. The game saved my progress in this state and I really don't feel like doing all of that again. Maybe some day, but be warned, this game is buggy.

So is it just me, or does the inventory open right in front of

the hand behind the tree, making it impossible to give it the arm and proceed?

I just can't get it to work.

Inannawhimsey • October 11, 2010 10:07 PM

How aweful (in the original usage of the term--to be full of awe), thank goodness there are still people not afraid to deal with fairy tales in their original vein, avoiding the modern unchallenging & soulless stuff we have in mainstream society today.

This game was very well done as far as art and sound (great job!). I liked how you could control where the character went instead of clicking spots they should go to. But there were a few movement issues.

Sometimes you appear in strange places on the next screen. The second time I played, Gretel did not crawl out of the tree trunk, but appeared on the far left behind the tree with the rope. The first time I played (without the map), I ran through the transition between the water jug area and the beginning swamp area, and then appeared on the far right in the swamp. This always kept happening when I reached that screen coming from the water jug screen.

The game froze once when I ran with the screaming turnip all the way to the water wheel. I couldn't select the map. But I was able to

speak evil with the book

and that fixed it xD

All in all, great game!

Finn

• October 11, 2010 10:26 PM

@ ensoul
It is possible, just make sure there is a "?" bubble. And you can just walk past the arm if you want. It's not necessary.

Evan • October 11, 2010 11:14 PM

On Newgrounds there are medals.
Does anyone know about the Revenge medal. (I assume it deals with Hansel killing Gretel) also there are 8 secret medals

Birdie: Hit the hand behind the tree
Secret 2: ???
Headless: Hit the robot which does not boot it's head in the secret room
Liberal Animation: Hit the rabbit with the stick 10 times before slicing it open
Secret 5
Secret 6
Your Head Essplode: Eat the mushrooms
Secret 8: Presuming get every other medal. Not confirmed

If anyone wants to help, it is much appreciated.

Great game but very buggy. Had to reload the game many times. The cursor would disappear on occasion and after changing scenes, Gretel would lose the ability to move.

Any other game I would have stopped playing after a couple problems, but this game was so enticing that I had to see the end.

I love the little thrill of the wolf running in the shadow. Woah. Nice and creepy.

• October 12, 2010 9:09 AM

I found an interesting little bug.

Using the glasses prevents you from moving, but if you open and close your inventory, you can move again.

The game thinks you are both using the glasses and not using the glasses at the same time. FUN stuff happens on certain screens.

I got the walking bloody stump thing after the head explode death too! After a minute, my character turned back to normal without the death page showing up.

I played the game 3 times just to get all the death scenes because I made a mistake of not dying on the very last part on the wolf bridge.

Did anyone do the head click mini game during the loading screen?

I got all the way to 1500 points, but the last special item I got was at 1000 and it was a witches hat. Did anyone get anything past that?

A • October 12, 2010 2:22 PM

This game is beautiful and interesting to play, however, the bugs take all of the enjoyment out of it. I've had to reload at least 4 times so far. It's really annoying. I'd love to play it all the way through, but it's frustrating me more than I'm enjoying it.

I agree, the bugs are EXTREMELY irritating.

If you've experienced the inventory-missing bug, I've found that picking up another item will un-glitch it. I bought the bow and my inventory came back.

A small personal non=bug gripe that forced a restart was

the first time through I didn't choose the hand in the dinner scene, and there was no way to undo that or go back and get it.

Speaking of which, out of curiosity:

In the dinner scene, the first three "cycles" each provide four options: two choices to order and two choices of reactions. Obviously choosing the acorn/pie/apple and then choosing to eat them result in death, and in order to complete the game you MUST choose the arm in the second round and "eat" it. However, it seems to me that for the other two rounds, or all three if you don't mind not being able to win, there are three other viable options: ordering the "safe" food and eating it, or ordering either and refusing.
I'm curious as to whether anyone has noticed any change in the game or gameplay resulting from making different choices at that stage? Or doesn't it matter?

BuenoCabra

• October 12, 2010 10:30 PM

This is overall one of the best point-and-clicks I've ever played.

My only real gripe is that I wish the thought bubbles didn't always tell you exactly what to do. For example, instead of making me find the thought bubble for every pile of dirt, just let me try to dig wherever I want. But that's minor and just the way I like to play.

Can't wait for #3! :D

Anonymous • October 12, 2010 10:33 PM

When I try to use the

frog with the bear trap

nothing happens. Watching the walkthough video, it looks like you're supposed to be able to select items from the inventory by clicking on them, but my inventory only lets me click and drag. As soon as I let go, the item flies back to the inventory.

Mako added the ability to return to the main menu without having to reload the game.

Not fun to find a bug when you reach the last task, that freezes your ability to move. Refresh the page and instead of saving you get to start all over!

No thank you.

meghan • October 13, 2010 6:08 AM

The game has a huge glitch.I get to the meal scene after I start to walk again the pouch shows up and then the screen goes blank. NOT impressed.

[That is a known glitch that has been fixed. Make sure you empty your cache and reload to be sure you have the latest version. Also, that is the point at which the 2nd file of the game gets loaded, so there may actually be a slight delay while it's loading. Please be patient, the game is huge (40MB in total between the 2 files). One more thing, make sure your Flash Player is updated to the latest version. There have been a LOT of bugs in Flash lately. -Jay]

Octochan and p
The "head assplode" medal? My head exploded and I wound up as a bloody stump that could walk around (the heart was even beating!) but I didn't try to leave the screen. I got the medal and the death was counted. Eventually Gretel sorta dissolves back together, but the bloody shards that flew off to the ground were still there.

As for getting the arm at the tree scene, you do NOT need to! I didn't and completed the game with an extra piece of silver. However, I needed the video walkthrough to make sure I had all the coins.

hothotpot, I also only got up to the achievement at 1000 points. I think that's all.

Finn

• October 13, 2010 10:35 PM

@ The Logical Ghost

Whenever you refuse, a kid gets closer to death. (You can see their images change in the background.) If you refuse everything before the cake, the living kids die. Death is inevitable at the cake scene, whether you refuse or agree after eating all the non-plant foods, or refuse after refusing everything. (Only when you have the >> option can you get past the cake.)

You CAN leave the dinner scene without the arm. You just don't have a disembodied arm to use later on (but it's not a necessary item, anyway).

There is no change in the gameplay as far as I could tell, whatever choices were picked.

Anonymous • October 28, 2010 6:38 AM

I seem to have hit a glitch that no one else seems to report. It's kept me from completing the game and nothing seems to make it go away:

When I reach the stage where I have to try and get Gretel's face back, I accidentally clicked to an area behind the 2nd fairy. I was then unable to move the fairy anywhere else on the screen. I could click places, but the fairy was stuck. I restarted the game, but when I got to that section again the fairy was STILL stuck behind the other fairy. I'm unable to progress any further and I can't find a workaround.

Even though I can't finish the game, I liked the atmosphere of it. It's creepy and strange, like a good children's story should be.

Great game so far, but there's still a bug with one of the items. I have reloaded 7 times, but every time I try to pick up the

they do not appear in my inventory & make it impossible to proceed. It's a great game other than the bugs. Wish I could finish it. :(

Rexiaxiv • December 5, 2010 1:40 AM

I -love- this game. It's a bit vague at times which makes puzzles a bit hard, but I still love everything else. But I've seen 2 glitches. The mouse disappears when I get the glasses and the mushroom death freezes things because Gretel doesn't reappear.

But playing this on Newgrounds got rid of the mouse problem and when the mushroom death glitched, I found that Gretel will reppear if you use the evil tomb. It was funny because her guts here still scattered around. xD; But it worked.

Anonymous • December 20, 2010 9:01 PM

So glitchy! I love the concept and the creepy mood of the game, but my screen whites out after the meal scene. My flash player is up to date, and I've waited to see if it was just a loading problem (it's not). Tried it on both Chrome and Firefox as well. Ugh!'

gretelandhanselhelp • October 2, 2011 12:04 PM

For people who are not Harry Potter fans, people who are but have forgotten, (and Finn, I wanted to correct you,) the 'screaming turnip' is actually a mandrake. It is a magical creature that was Petrified and turned into a plant. It is buried, and once you find it, it starts screaming. Mandrakes do that. But that is a baby Mandrake, otherwise the cry would kill poor Gretel.

gretelandhanselhelp • October 2, 2011 8:10 PM

Question....I hate using walkthroughs and I'm very close to the point where I need to start over. I'm just lost. Someone tell me, what the crap does the Evil Book thingy do?!?

[That's why we have walkthroughs, to answer questions about the game easily with no waiting for someone to reply. :) -Jay]

gretelandhanselhelp • October 2, 2011 9:19 PM

Okay, what the crap. The same thing happened to me, except later in the game. I temporarily killed the spaghetti monster (lol) and gave Rufus his face and his hat. Then I was looking at a walkthrough cuz I got so tired of trying things. It told me to use the glasses to look for an invisible mound. I found it, and went for my shovel, but found my backpack missing? What kind of glitch is that?

Lizzy • October 30, 2011 7:53 PM

*Sigh* Okay, so I've gotten past most of the stuff. But first, that owl on the tree with eyes, what up with that? And How do u get past that dang snake in the swamp??? I don't know where to find an axe either. And how do I get an apple for that tree???

enexified

• June 11, 2013 3:35 PM

What the cloaked guy is selling

1) Map (5 coins) - it allows you to teleport back to wherever you have visited with just a click on the map! Very useful because this would save all the walking!

2) Bow & Arrow (24 coins) - this will probably be the last item you'll purchase to complete the game. It is used to shoot the deer! You'll get a gargoyle eye from the statue head in the same map after killing the deer.

3) Shovel (10 coins) - needless to say, a very helpful item to have very early in the game so find all them coins! You'll be using this to dig an axe out to cut through the thick trunk! The axe can be dug from the map with the broken house and faceless lady. Use the spectacles to find where the hidden digging spot is.

4) Carrot (3 coins) - it is used to trap the rabbit and to get its organs to lure the bear! After you've placed the carrot, hide by the tree where the string is tied around so the bunny will hop over, thinking that no one is looking!

What and Where are the Statue Heads?

Take a look at what is engraved on its stone.

See No Evil - The statue is at where the deer is - you'll have to kill the deer for the statue to release the gargoyle's eyeball!

Hear No Evil - Where Rufus, the old man playing the Banjo is, is where this statue is located at. You'll need to use the water from the lake the bear was at + the fairy pond water to grow a mandrake at where the gargoyle is at then bring it to where this statue is. It will cause it to release the gargoyle's ear.

Say No Evil - Where the ice cave is at will be where this statue is located. You'll have to recite from the skull book to get it to release the gargoyle's mouth! To get the skull book, in the kitchen where the evil Chef Branch died, perched on top of its shelf is where the book is so whack the shelf a few times with the new trunk you plucked out from the Chef Branch and you'll get it!

Tips for coins

There are some secret places you may have missed out!
1) The fairy tree area where Hansel saved Gretel by peeing on the branch - at the top, there's a sack of coins! (5) Hit the vine to make the sack drop.
2) In the ice cave, before lighting up one of the two torch (don't make the same mistake I kept making - you must only light up one and take one. Don't light up two or you'll keep getting stabbed!), there is a coin hidden behind the boulder!
3) In the muddy swamp where Hansel carries Gretel across there's a coin at the top right hand corner
4) At the barrel and torch area, there's a coin in the water! Hansel can swim across to get it even though it's quite deep (hence she moves slower)

At the moment I can't remember anymore having just completed the game, but just remember to walk past and inspect all boulders in case you miss out a coin or two! Remember to always dig up! :)

This game is a work of art. I loved the sketchy, water-paint effect of the background and characters and I also loved how the creator infused adult themes into this children story. The puzzles were tricky and fun. Everything was also well sequenced and the background music fit every situation and they were a nice accompaniment! Engaging and not overly done, just the right amount of time needed to complete the entire game (I took about 45 - 60 minutes I think) and the plot was a nice spin-off from the original story line. I really enjoyed this! Have got to thank PewDiePie for playing it and for linking it in his down bar. I'll be looking forward to Gretel and Hansel 3!

I really liked this game, both parts (though this one was WAY creepier!), but I got all the way to the

wolf at the bridge

and couldn't figure out how to get past it. The walkthru said

the arrow or the bone would get you past safetly. I had chosen the arrow when I light the torch in the ice cave

but it never appeared in my pack. I even went back several times to make sure it wasn't lying on the ground somewhere and it wasn't. I've seen other post about lots of bugs...is there any hope of me getting to the end without having to start over?
