Отзывы пользователей
Of my 30 min of playtime, maybe 12 was unskipable cutscene or interaction, 12 was walking simulator and maybe 6 max was actual platforming and "puzzle solving".
Not to mention the horrible performance that you will see in most other review too which is why i wanted to focus on something not mentionned.
If you want this as a puzzle platformer experience, this is probably not for you, if you want this as art and its story then sure maybe.
5/10
Quick little game. Kinda buggy.
The game completely glitched out and stopped me from progressing. Went online and way too many people encountered this issue. Here's a youtube video of this busted section:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZqRZMT0Tc&ab_channel=SerhioMagpie
Would have wrote a nice review but having to replay already beaten areas kinda ruined the game for me. Had I not ran into this issue might have been a decent time.
It's a tragedy that this game doesn't work on the Steam Deck (it's unplayably slow). This looks like an okay game to play on a handheld, but it doesn't hold up on the big screen. I expected more from the visuals.
Upon writing this review, I have played through the game once, getting the "Truth" ending and started a second run to get the other ending along rest of the achievements.
I just finished the ocean world, and realized that you do need to collect the "truths" to get the worlds "all secret's" achievements... Due to the poor wording at the re-entry of a level, I restarted the whole game instead of continuing on the already finished timeline to get couple achievements I missed, and now realize I have to play through the levels a third time to go after the truth's again. (Upon first play/read through, I had gotten the image that everything would disappear from my file and reset the whole area, not that it simply hides the things I had already collected.)
SO HERE'S A USEFUL HINT: ON YOUR FIRST PLAY-THROUGH DON'T OPEN THE PYRAMID TO LEARN THE TRUTH. Which triggers said ending since you'll need to replay everything to get the achievements! And for the love of God don't restart the whole game unless you want to re-hear the whole story.
To the review:
Tutorial is easy enough, but funneling the player felt jarring immediately as you meet your scarf.
I really wish your "carrying speed" (when ever you're holding an item) would be your actual walking speed permanently or that you wouldn't even have a need to press anything and just automatically run. The character's weight is SO HEAVY it doesn't feel right with their design.
The hub-area feels small, but it divides the game nicely. The "spark"-hints in front of the door though can be misleading, as usually the requirements to getting into levels, and not what you'd actually find in there. (Also the fact that the spark that opens up the first portal is not counted in any way throws off the math in general of the whole hub area.)
Ocean was a wondrous first experience with how the levels actually could function with it's puzzles. The collectibles though, were a nightmare and truthfully spoken; unfair. (Dev's know what they did.)
The desert was fun but felt drawn out due to it's vast size. The collectibles felt too much out of the way for someone to actually realize they could go in certain places. Yes, I understand that they're rewards for exploration, but when things look like you're gonna hit an invisible wall immediately after bonking into one just earlier that looked similar to the other place, you really don't find them with ease as you should.
For me, the Forest was the best area to find the collectibles. They felt well earned, and were in area's that weren't too much off the beaten path and HAD path's to follow in the first place if you paid any attention. It almost felt like the forest was the most thought out of area's compared to everything else, but, again, it felt drawn out in certain places, were it not for the lore implications. Except at the "5 puzzle pieces" location, there was some major rendering issues and tanking going on due to the area being too large and too many components having moving parts near the upper are'as waterfall. Oh- and "Hide and Seek" had me confused the longest since, despite the indicator, said indicator wasn't as clearly seen due to the lighting of the area for you to realize what it was you actually needed to do. (Also if the main dev was actually one commenting spitefully on the Steam conversations due to this problem: SHAME ON YOU. THAT WAS BAD DESIGN, OWN UP TO IT, and if possible, fix it in a patch! There was NO indication on what you were actually supposed to do when it was your turn to hide nor that the rules of the game had CHANGED.)
I didn't have trouble finding the truths in every level, getting all of them immediately upon first play-through.
The environmental storytelling is amazing. The mural's are beautiful and slowly reveal the story to to you as you go on along how the area's have been "decorated". The storytelling through truths felt horrible though. I would've preferred you'd get the whole cutscene per level when you'd found all 3 truths, rather than get a piece of a cutscene that ends suddenly mid sentence. Seriously, that was annoying as I'd need to re-watch the earlier cutscenes again to get a fresher on what was being said before the sentence cut off mid way.
In all and all, the game can be janky with it's movements, story gets predictable if you pay attention to the environment (which is actually good storytelling in my opinion, as long as it's not plastered onto your face immediately or in rapid success), and music can be charming! So despite my gripes, I'd still recommend the game to be experienced by others! (Just buy it on sale!)
Buggy and unoptimized, even with a beast of a PC you're going to experience stutters and lagging. Gameplay is nothing special, but the artstyle is cute. There are better platformers out there.
I like this game, but the performance issues it has are glaring, wholly tedious and even game breaking in areas. I have tried it on a wide range of hardware from the lower end all the way to flagship machines and it continues to run like a bag of proverbial spanners. I love the game, I don't love the constant performance issues.
If the game is ever fixed, this would be an easy recommendation from me, but in it's current (as of November 30th 2024) state, I do not recommend this game at all. It has so many performance issues that should have been fixed long ago yet still linger and that just makes the game a slog to play.

Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.99 Or Less During Sale
Falling asleep
It looks really cool and I was very interested to play. Managed to snag it on sale for less than 1 USD, and for that price it's pretty good, however it suffers hugely on the optimization front - it feels like it's heavily chugging and if I had to guess, runs on less than 15 FPS. Might return to this whenever I manage to upgrade my laptop to something else, but I can't platform at 15 FPS with precision.
I can't recommend Scarf in its current state.
This game is crippled by horrible performance. I'm not sure whom to blame for that; sometimes it's the fault of apathetic developers, and sometimes it's a crappy management forcing devs to release something that really isn't ready for public consumption. But it's been three years, and no one has fixed this train wreck. It's sad for the same reason Rage 2 is sad; the game itself is fun and has many good ideas, but the technical side doesn't support any of the brilliant aesthetics or gameplay.
Review from a Achievement Hunter
Check out my curator for more reviews!
TL:DR: Puzzle platformer game with a great setting, narrative, story and achievements. A more relaxing and quite enjoyable experience for achievement hunters.
The Game
A small puzzle platformer game where you, together with your scarf, journey throughout different worlds.
Scarf is a cute little adventure game where you use your companion to gain more abilities and explore different worlds. The visuals and setting are quite relaxing, with a interactive setting and a interesting narrative. With good narration and multiple endings the game is quite intriguing, providing the player with a great story to follow.
Game Score: 8/10.
The Achievements
Variety: 10/10. There are different achievements related to the story, collectibles and hidden puzzles. None of the achievements feel out of place for this type of game, which adds great joy to the achievement hunter.
Length: 9/10. As you must play through the game around 2 times for the different endings the completion for Scarf takes around 8 hours. For it's price, and the game itself, the length feels both fair and satisfying.
Difficulty: 8/10. Neither the game or the achievements are particularly difficult and most can be solved without the need for assistance. It is probably better that the game has easy and more laid-back achievements as it would probably ruin the experience otherwise. If you need assistance there is a guide available on Steam.
Price: 8/10. There is no dlc available or required. The game's base price feels relatively fair, but if you could pick it up on a sale, even a minor one, it would definitely be a great game to play!
Satisfaction: 8/10. While not being a neither lengthy or difficult game to complete, it still provides a enjoyable experience for achievement hunters to complete.
Achievement Score: 9/10.
The game is a beauty but it's sooooo slow. I can appreciate a change of pace in gaming but even if that is the case, that should not effect the overall flow of the game. Unfortunately for Scarf the pacing affects the flow and changes how you see and play the game. It's not a bad at by any means and if you like puzzles and platforming then you will probably enjoy this game.
cute game reminded me of Journey
I LIKE BOTH
