The story
Little Goody Two Shoes is an tactical narrative RPG that tells the story of Elise, an ambitious girl stuck in a village too small for her big dreams. In this village of Kieferberg you’ll have to work toward your main goal - hiding an innocent witch from the merciless villagers. Lies, deception, strategic choices and treachery! In this bizarre fairy tale all choices matter in order to protect your reputation and get what you truly desire. All means justify the end, or do they?
What it’s like
Storybook illustration with a hand-painted, ink-edged look: a crooked village of Kieferberg under overcast skies, timber houses leaning together, lantern glow pooling in dusk and candlelit interiors. The palette runs muted greens, browns and greys, broken by warm lamplight and the occasional sickly flash of magic. Narration arrives in a storyteller's cadence over static illustrated scenes, and the score is whimsical folk-tinged music that keeps tilting toward unease. The rhythm is deliberate: long stretches of conversation and scheming, then short, tense turn-based skirmishes on tabletop-style grids. Violence is stylised and mostly cartoonish, with some grim menace and an edge of horror in the villagers' cruelty, but no sustained gore. Tone is dark fairytale irony, sly and morally knotted, with a steady current of dread beneath the jokes. Emotionally it is about a driven young woman bending her principles one lie at a time, and watching the cost accumulate. It suits a long evening with headphones, a dark-humoured fairytale mood, or a patient session on the couch. It is made for players who enjoy strategic choices with consequences, deception as a game mechanic, and fables that leave a bitter aftertaste.
