The Fairy Tale You Don't Know reimagines classic storybook worlds through a tactical puzzle-RPG lens. Players rewrite iconic tales like Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland by outsmarting heroines in turn-based hide-and-seek battles. Strategize with terrain-altering skills, manipulate traps, and unlock risqué alternate endings in this adults-only reimagining of childhood fables.
Subversive Storybook Mechanics
1. Dynamic Terrain Manipulation: Freeze rivers to corner Snow White, or collapse Wonderland’s mushroom bridges to trap Alice—environmental interactions vary per heroine’s lore, demanding adaptive strategies.
2. Risk-Reward Corruption System: Overusing "cheat codes" (e.g., instant-win button combos) accelerates lewd scene unlocks but permanently stains the in-game morality ledger, altering epilogue outcomes.
3. Voice-Acted Desperation: Heroines react vocally to proximity—Snow White’s breathless pleas intensify as you corner her, while Thumbelina’s giggles mask hidden escape routes.
Narrative Depth & Replayability
1. Branching Epilogues: Decide whether to "liberate" Red Riding Hood by devouring her pursuer or help her overthrow the wolf monarchy—16+ endings reflect cumulative choices across four core tales.
2. Lore-Driven Side Quests: Solve optional riddles like brewing a love potion for the Mad Hatter (distracts Alice) or bribing dwarves with enchanted apples to sabotage Snow White’s stamina.
3. New Game+ Mutators: Post-clear playthroughs introduce chaos variables—randomized trap placements, inverted dialogue morality effects—reshaping familiar stories into absurdist nightmares.
Aesthetic & Technical Polish
1. Cel-Shaded Dichotomy: Vibrant fairy-tale forests clash with grimy "corrupted" zones where rose bushes sprout tentacles and cottage walls bleed ink—a visual metaphor for player choices.
2. Steam Deck Optimization: Tactile trackpad support for precision trap-placement and adaptive UI scaling ensures seamless handheld play during quick puzzle sessions.
3. Multilingual Accessibility: Fully voiced Japanese/English dialogue with Simplified Chinese subtitles, plus culturally tailored jokes (e.g., Wonderland’s "Drink Me" potions labeled as boba tea).
