About the Game
You're curled up in front of the fire reading a folk tale on a cold winter's night. Something about it seems so familiar. Have you read this before?






- Explore a cosy and mysterious fantasy universe inspired by fairy tales. The old kind of fairy tales, strange and wild, before the edges were sanded off. Warm and comforting, but with parts you don't quite understand, and you don't know if you want to understand.
- Befriend strange and wonderful folks. Navigate 4 main routes through the game as you grow closer to the main characters.
- Align yourself with G-d, Death, or the Devil. Choose your godparent and your destiny.
- Uncover secrets and mysteries. Something strange haunts this book. What was that shape? At the corner of your vision?
- Multiple endings. So, so many endings. I cannot be stopped.

Hi everyone! This update fixes some recent reported issues:
If anyone still encounters bugs or issues, please let me know and I'll get them fixed up! And thanks again to everyone for playing :)

- Soft Locks. Some players reported a soft lock where they couldn't click "Continue" or "Begin". This could occur when the game exited unexpectedly midway through. I've revised the way the Continue button works, so this should no longer occur.
- Changing Name. Some players reported that changing your name and pronouns in the menu screen after starting the game wasn't working. I've revised this and it should work now.
If anyone still encounters bugs or issues, please let me know and I'll get them fixed up! And thanks again to everyone for playing :)
Hi all,
This is a quick fix to remove a bug where the Toad could become so offended by your actions that he softlocks your game, preventing you from continuing the story. This should no longer occur. But it is a valuable lesson never to underestimate the fury of a Toad scorned.
Let me know if anyone encounters this issue again, or any similar issues!
Cheers,
Jack.
