Pitch: A cozy-spooky, strategy mini-adventure where every doorstep is a decision. Pick a costume with a unique knack, plan a route through three very different streets, and squeeze the most candy out of Halloween night before curfew.
What it is:
A replayable, text-driven Halloween run. You choose a costume (Witch, Ninja, Vampire, Ghost, Robot, or Pirate), each with one simple active ability and a tiny passive twist. Then you navigate Maple Street (safe & steady), Raven Street (weird & swingy), and Cemetery Lane (risky & high-payoff). Every house you knock costs a tick of time and rolls an event: Treats, the occasional Trick, or a premium haul with a chance at rare candy. Manage Time_Left, Risk, Bag Capacity, and shoot for one of two wins:
- Candy haul ≥ 30, or
- Collect all 3 rare candies (MoonPop, GoldenCaramel, WitchToffee).
Why you’ll like it
- Fast runs (8 turns) with meaningful choices—perfect “one more try” loop.
- Readable, atmospheric prose (Le Guin/Gabaldon vibe) with playful banter and gentle scares—no combat, kid-safe.
- Clean HUD at the end of every scene so you always know where you stand.
- High replay value: six costumes, street RNG, and multiple routes to victory.
How to play (examples)
- “Knock house”
- “Go to Raven Street”
- “Use Sprint; knock” (Ninja)
- “Use Mesmerize; knock” (Vampire)
- “Overclock” (Robot)
- “Scare; knock” (Pirate)
Goal: Outsmart the night. Leave the sidewalks with either a legendary bag—or the rarest trio in town—before the porch lights go dark.
