I like this. Got Maku's good end.
The only thing I don't like is how short it is.
I played the android version of the game. Really love the story. Both the ending are very cute and design for all of the characters are really nice, especially Maku.
Thank you for playing!
you're welcome ^^
I just finished it. It's a bit short, based on few choices game but still very enjoyable. I really like Memi's route. And the whole concept of the plot.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! ^^ Memi's a real sweetheart <3 I'm happy to hear you liked her route!
Really liked this one, you don't typically see a 1800s Japanese backdrop to a Halloween game. Here's a video playthrough I had. I apologize for my voice, which was a bit strained when I went through this, so I had to selectively vocalize lines out of necessity: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/768996030
Thank you for playing! Glad you like it!
enjoyed.

I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^ The OST made by Greyson JS is really awesome, you can download it here!

A very sweet story. I enjoyed both good endings, all three characters, and the fairy tale tone. I wasn't familiar with the original story before playing, but after looking it up I definitely enjoy this take on it a lot more.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game :) We also had fun reading lesser known fairy tales when we first came up with the concept!
