I don’t think Rainbow Friends is the most insidious of the mascot “horror” games made for kids atm. hell I’d say it’s got the best excuse as it’s on Roblox, which doesn’t always allow the most in terms of horror and it’s probably an actual honest attempt at something horror adjacent for kids rather than… whatever’s going on with Poppy Playtime and GOB. It also seems kinda hard to make a game on with such limited resources .

However it’s also very very reflective of the issues in this niche… gameplay that’s lacking, kinda cookie-cutter plotlines, and just not being very scary. That and attracting kids that are just too young- but I don’t know if the creators are getting much money or selling official merch so… uhm??

I do get that part of the mascot bit is making the characters seem believably appealing to children and there needs to be a balance of that initial cutesy ness and the eventual subversion which is hard but I feel like there’s not much of an attempt in the slightest. It feels more like using a low grade horror edge to actually sell a character brand.

I feel like the least the devs could’ve done is push the scariness a little. Doors and even Piggy (to an extent) don’t let the whole Roblox thing stop them from making something that at least attempts to be scary. At least make the characters look a little roughed up. Dull some colors, add a lil too much detail to the eyes, something. If the kids are getting horror, then it should be horror. It really could’ve had a more Goosebumps or even Vampire Weenies like edge, still zany and relatively child friendly at least on the surface, but still bringing good horror to the table.

Like I said, not the worst offender and my opinion of it is higher than the likes of other games it’s lumped in with but I just wish that… like, everything in this niche and relating to it was a little better. People shouldn’t be draping kids franchise concepts with a guise of horror to make a quick buck, and in the cases of people actually making genuine horror for younger or just more general audiences then they should make sure they don’t fall into those traps of marketability and make sure their games have a good scare factor to em
