Jan 5, 2023The most dedicated of horror fans will find some things to love here but most gamers might become frustrated. I understand that the team at SWORD was working with limited resources. But they should have focused more on the delivery of more weird moments and somewhat scarier sequences. The Fridge Is Red has one good idea and never quite manages to create a good video game around it.

Oct 6, 2022The Fridge is Red is an ambitious take on the surreal horror genre, with a mix of good and bad elements. It effectively conveys a sense of madness and nightmares with a simple but good story. The game looks and sounds wonderful even with the blocky retro elements. Ultimately The Fridge is Red falls short of great because of the gameplay. It has some good moments, but there is too much running in circles, especially for such a short game. All that said, if you like this kind of horror, it is still worth checking out.

Nov 4, 2022The Fridge is Red ultimately fails to conjure up the scares and often impedes its own momentum, even if there are flashes of compelling horror to be found.

Sep 29, 2022You can see greatness from the heights that The Fridge is Red reaches, but most of the time, you’re mired in its lows. At times, it feels like the central obstacle in the game is just trying to figure out what it wants from you. What order, what direction, and what interpretation you need to arrive at. There’s definitely vision here that wants to be delivered, but it needs to be paired with consideration for the experience.
