Introducing Little Goody Two Shoes: A Fairy Tale RPG packed with Thrills, Sapphic Romance, and Witchy Rituals

After the release of my first game, it was somewhere in 2017. Pocket Mirror, a free RPG Maker horror adventure game, that the development team sat down to flesh out its next project – thus, Little Goody Two Shoes Born.

In order to answer the questions raised in the first game, we wanted to tell the story of Elise. We set off on an adventure that spanned over six years, a period of hard work, intermittent development, and countless hours. Little Goody Two ShoesThe idea was born. This horror RPG has elements of dating sims, resource management, puzzle solving, and game-playing.Little Goody Two ShoesThe game is designed to give the player a nostalgic and exciting experience, with stunning visuals and an original dreamy soundtrack.

This Story

We were fans of horror, mysticism and fairy tales. To build the story, we drew inspiration from both folklore and familiar stories. While the tales of our childhoods usually teach us basic life lessons such as to not be a bad person, or the dangers of trusting strangers, most also have a darker side to them that’s often omitted from modern reiterations – be it the consequences the villains of such stories end up facing, the tragedies of love and innocence, or even the consequences of young foolishness.

It’s this delicate balance between the wonders and the horrors of old fairytales that struck our interest as inspiration not only for the narrative, but also for the visuals. Little Goody Two ShoesThe story follows Elise’s life, a proud and ambitious girl in the small and tight-knit town of Kieferberg. Elise is a maid who works for everyone, and she lives a simple life doing small chores for neighbors in exchange for the money needed to survive. Yet, she wants more – an easy life surrounded by luxury and wealth, to live her days like a princess in a castle!

As the story progresses, Elise will come across a pair of Ruby Red Shoes, and the promise that all her dreams can become a reality – if she succeeds in overcoming the woodlands’ challenges and A certain ritual is performedIt’s up to you. What she’s willing to do to escape the mundane town of Kieferberg and achieve her dreams, however, is completely up to you. Will you pursue Elise’s desire for luxury and wealth? You can choose to settle down for the simple life of the small town.
