About the Game

Maple and Miette are two Halloween-obsessed kids in a neighbourhood where Halloween is practically an afterthought. They'd be lucky to see a single decorated house in any given year, and, as you might expect, going trick-or-treating is completely out of the question.

That is, until, Maple hears a rumour of a street between two suburbs that only appears after the sun sets on Halloween night, in which (almost) all the houses are decorated. She can't remember who exactly told her this rumour... But any chance for candy is a chance worth taking!

...However, it seems like whatever, or whoever, led them here isn't letting them leave anytime soon...

Follow Maple and Miette in this short Trick-Or-Treating Simulator and help them maximise their candy gains!

Key Features:

  • Go down a street with a random assortment of 15 unique houses who's order changes every round!

  • Deduce whether a house will offer candy based whether it fits the given rules!

  • Talk to the... interesting residents of the neighbourhood!

  • Avoid getting tricked at all costs.

    • (It's not pretty)

  • Realise the amount of trouble you've got yourself in

  • Uncover more of the story the more times you walk the street

    • ...Wait, is that a ghost in the window?
