✦ About CANDY HOUSE in the Dark FOREST
Follow the abandoned siblings to trace the sweet scent leading to a mysterious candy house—
Collecting ingredients to "make desserts" and "solving puzzles".
Be aware—every step you take may change the course of fate.
From Apple Pie Kitchen, Marshmallow Toyroom, to Cake Corridor.
Explore this sugar-coated world and meet the kind-hearted witch, the unnerving dolls, the moody Teddies, and the Gingerbread twins.
Together, unveil the sweet facade and uncover the truth beneath— a tale called "The Candy-Coated Lie."
A dark fairy tale-style mystery narrative experience, combining contrasting elements of cute pixel art and exquisite picture book aesthetics.
Explore the Candy House, including the Apple Pie Kitchen, Marshmallow Toy Room, Cake Hall, and more. Collect unique recipes and ingredients in different themed dessert rooms.
Use the sweets and potions you create yourself to solve the various puzzles within the Candy House.
The seemingly warm but unsettling Witch, the exquisite yet eerie Doll, the willful and childish Teddy Bears, and the constantly smiling but unreadable Gingerbread Twins... every character holds secrets and has their own agenda. Interact with them to uncover the mysteries surrounding them.
Multiple branching choices determine the story's progression, allowing you to experience various endings from different perspectives.
An extensive "Dessert Book" system for collecting and unlocking the hidden backstories of each sweet.
