Trick and Treat - Visual Novel

Review for the English version: Needs a proper editor. I made it ten minutes in before I quit the game. The translation is pretty bad, full of run-on sentences, misused words, and constantly jumping between past and present tenses. I understand that English is probably not a native language for the development team (judging by the writing in their developer updates), and that's perfectly fine; but if you release a visual novel (i.e. a written work) that's badly written, you're going to get a bad review. Objectively speaking (i.e. not judging by the plot or characters or any of the creative aspects, but purely from a factual stance on the writing and grammar), this game is bad. DISCLAIMER: WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY NEXT IS PURELY MY OWN OPINION. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE FOR ANY OF IT. I find it highly suspicious that the first game from an unknown development team (at least, unknown in the English VN circle) has almost 1500 reviews, and 3 curator reviews, after one month. What's more, 100% o...

Honestly, this little VN is good. For a free and simple game, its story is a lot better than other paid games I’ve played before. I didn’t liked much the “true ending”, but the essence of the story was really interesting. I’d play another game by those devs, I hope there’s more to come! 6/10.

It is a really story. I recommend it if you like stories with very relaxed play style You can play this while you are falling trying to sleep or just wanting to relax a little bit And i have to add: The game has 8 ending,tThe fastest ending(ouf of all 8) can be achived in 10 minutes. However this is not really an ending. It is a fail ending, lets say. Or in gamer terms, it is being "defeated" The game has one ultimate the most positive ending. All other ending are actually building stones for the story for this big bang ending. However you can only have that ending if you go through all other endings first. While you are playing the game, you should save the game at all decision points so later you load and see the other options.

Personally didn't care for it. The English translation needs a lot of proofreading as it's full of errors and clumsy, awkward phrasing. The story is good enough to keep me interested but the mood often abruptly changes unexpectedly. For example, a scene where you're in a dark forest and fearing for your life and then the main character is suddenly regretting that he's not popular. The story moves way too quickly for me, it doesn't give you time to understand the motivations of the characters on any more than a basic level and then they have sudden unexplained mood swings; changes of heart, etc that make me feel like there's a lot more going on that was just skimmed over. It has potential, but in it's current state feels like a beta or trial version.

This free VN would be nice if there weren't too many Deus Ex Machina and convenient but predictable plot twists and asspulls. [spoiler] The MC has "magical power"? The hateful witch who kills and tortures human for revenge decides to keep the MC alive? Both girls fall in love with the MC after meeting him ONCE? The witch who has been living since 1700 cannot find her own toy after dropping it? The girl suddenly become a freaking transfer student? The cringe, oh my god. And the title drop, while surprise and nicely done with the achivement message popping right when she says it, is extremely forced and cringy[/spoiler]. The art is a hit or miss. Some may like it, but for me, it looks like thing you can come up with a search on Deviantart. The number of good reviews this one gets is crazy. Apparently people here haven't tried any real VN yet.

I find it hard to give bad reviews to free games, but i suppose it would have to be a labor of love if a person gives it away. The game is short, simple, and pleasant. Nothing fancy, but certainly fresh and enjoyable. The game has "nudity" and "sexual content" tags... idk, i'm not sure if that's a joke or if people are just tagging all japanese looking visual novels with that, but it's tame enough for a middle schooler.

I loved it. You have to play all of the endings to fully get the whole story.. I now want to see the other novels in the this series and see what they are about. =)

I'm sorry but I literally can't play this any longer, the grammar is awful, the sentences make no sense, if you decide to make a visual novel game at least learn to write basic English.

For a free VisNov, the story is okay. For a free VisNov. After playing through the entirety of the game and unlocking all endings, I have to say I was actually quite disappointed. With all of the extremely positive reviews floating around, I can't hep but wonder if any of the reviewers have actually read a decent story before, in a Visual Novel medium or otherwise. I understand that English was not the original language that the game was written in, so I am giving it a pass for all grammar and instances of awkward wording, but for the story to be so incredibly bland and contrite it can't be given a pass merely because of translation issues. I hate to go against the grain here, but the whole experience was kind of meh and lackluster. Both girls are one dimensional, the main character is inconsistent at best and a very poorly handled player-insert character at worst, the scenarios are extremely contrived, the romances are completely out of the blue and intensely underdeveloped, and the ...

It was a pleasure playing this game. Thanks for making this game. Sounds were amazing and the story was fascinating. I loved the secret ending by the way! If you like visual novels, you must play this game! I recommend 10/10! And I think creators of this game should continue. You guys have a ton of potential! Thanks for creating this game. Waiting your next game impatiently!
