It's a cute game. Thematically it feels a little strange to me that the floors are all locked with simple puzzle locks since a determined child could easily get through them, but I guess it wouldn't be much of a game if you could just walk straight to the ending without any puzzles.
The game is really cute and pretty in its art style, and I think the puzzles are really nicely done. I didn't fully understand aspects of the secret end, but the rest was really easy to process. Great game :)
Here's the walkthrough for all level and also how to get the secret end / level.
I was so surprised I didn't get any horror bits for my first playthrough, turns out that was the default lol. A bit confused by the secret/bad end. I love how you make a secret and bonus feature for the game. Love how the puzzle are not too easy and not to hard. Just right. The pixel art is so dang pretty. Thank you so much for making this.
Sorry for the late reply! Feel free to translate the game, just make sure you provide a link to me so I can let people interested in playing know about it. :)
I think the game looks very nice! But it wasn't that fun to play. The puzzles were more frustrating than fun. Like, for the cauldron one it would've been nice to have the hints on a list you could check while you're doing the puzzle. Also, the secret ending wasn't that rewarding and raised more questions than answers.
I just wanted to say I have been following your work for about three years now and I really enjoy the game. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and game development.
As much as I enjoyed the gameplay and the puzzles, I feel like the secret ending made no sense! I didn't really understand it ( I wont spoil anything ) but that may just be me. I feel like it could've been depicted differently? I still enjoyed the game a lot and the normal ending was pretty good!
At first I thought it didn't make sense, too. But maybe you should check out the "Extras" section of the game. It explains some stuff about the backstory. It is still really unclear, though.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here:
Advantages:
1. I adore that you put some secret stuff in the game) I was almost dissapointed by normal ending because of the lack of horror elements but then I put a bit more effort into solving the puzzles and I am glad I did that! Btw the window ending made me laugh so hard.
2. The art style is very nice. I wish to see more arts with lavender and other characters. Very beautiful and fairytailish.
Disadvantages:
1. I did not really understand the chess puzzles (maybe I am stupid). But it said that were whites to go - they would lose basically (not so poetic as in the game)) though in the solution you can at least move your pawn. I thought that the riddle implies that there are no possible moves for the whites. Maybe it needs more clarification.
2. I wish the game would have a lot more horror elements. I would be glad to see more lore and explanation on the secret stuff.
Overall: I enjoyed the game a lot! Replayed it 2 times and I glad I did it! I wish this would become a bigger project with a darker story. Though it's been out for years now... Still, can't wait for more)
I just finished the game, the art is so good! Everything were so beautiful! Love the bonus page too, its great to know details about the making of the game! Thanks for Lavender, had a great time playing it!
I downloaded and tried to play this game today, however it seems the controls just...don't work for me. The game loads and seems to run just fine but none of the inputs I've tried have any effect (I've just tried the usual wasd and arrow keys, but nothing happens). Anyone know why this might be happening?
Beautiful game! Wonderful! It ended up not being to my taste, but that's only because I go for a different type of RPG Maker style puzzles. (I'm not good at these kind of riddles orz) I was sad to stop playing, despite my inadequacy at riddles.
is it like, dead little children in the cages and stuff or? and what did Rosalie mean in her diary they look like her and I cant do it? ive thought so much and I cant guess it
Wow, this was really beautifully done. It had a very simple story that got deeper the more you played. I love short games with a lot in them. My favorite color is lavender and I always appreciate color schemes in games, as well as secrets, that's what drew me to this in the first place. Definitely a success and I'd recommend it.
Ah, my apologies about not getting back to you sooner; I have not logged into itch.io for a while. Which language are you looking to translate the game into?
Hello! I really like the design and colors! It gives me a spooky mansion/manor feeling! I really love the game page design! Everything is really nicely drawn. The program runs smoothly and is really nice. This game is pretty spooky! Nice job Clockwork Prince!
I have a love-hate relationship with spooky RPG Maker games. However, this is one of the more interesting and well-made ones I've played. I heartily recommend this to those who like new takes on fairy tales, and short games that are like nuts: more to them than meets the eye, and you must find the game's secrets to crack it open.
This is probably one of my favorite games, and I haven't even finished it yet. The lavender/purple tint of the game and the music selection make the entire experience so soothing.
I liked the game! The music fit with the overall tone and mood of the game, and the art did too. I confess I have a fondness for pixel art like this. I also confess that I had no idea what was going on.
Luckily, the game was short enough and the puzzles fun enough for that to not really matter.

Just finished the game! It's awesome! But now I gotta know what happened in the secret end. What was all that? Was it her mother?
It's a cute game. Thematically it feels a little strange to me that the floors are all locked with simple puzzle locks since a determined child could easily get through them, but I guess it wouldn't be much of a game if you could just walk straight to the ending without any puzzles.

Good game. I think, 20 years ago, in the days of Nintendo, it would have been even more popular
the puzzles were amaing and the art style is soooo cute!
loved it keep it up!

Hello CWP, I'm looking to translate this game into Latin America's Spanish.
If you are interested, please, let me know
Thanks, your game is amazing.

It does raise some answers. Try to check out the "Extras" section in the main menu.

Y'ever just trade a baby for food?
This was such an interesting game! The puzzles were pretty challenging but it all works out in the end. I love the art style!

Hope my feedback was useful!
Hi! I've enjoyed very much your game, it was lovely! I made a gameplay about it, you can watch it here if you want -->
Also, I would love to translate it to Spanish! But I'm not sure on how to do it, can you explain it to me a little bit?
Thank you and have a lovely day!
Had been wanting to play this game for the longest of time. Really enjoyed the artwork and the puzzles. It was fun! <3
I just finished the game, the art is so good! Everything were so beautiful! Love the bonus page too, its great to know details about the making of the game! Thanks for Lavender, had a great time playing it!
The music is great, what is the song in the first couple rooms of the tower?
The song is called "Undermine" from Presence of Music!
Hey Hey! New to itch, do i need to download both of those in the download section or just the top one?
There is no need to download the translation kit, unless you plan to translate the game.
This game has such lovely art! And the general ambience is haunting yet beautiful. I loved it!
What a lovely experience! Thank you for making this game.
A really nice game!!! We enjoyed it very much.
We have both endings.I had a lot of fun playing this game and trying to figure out this story! I really enjoyed it!

How long does the game take?
Maybe an hour or two, depending on how easy or hard you find the puzzles. Some people have finished it in 45 minutes or less.
It's a Very Cute And Good Game To Play,I Didn't Get To The End But I Already Liked It.
This is the first time I've played RPG game! If this video gets 10 views, I'll show you the true ending of this game =))
This is probably one of my favorite games, and I haven't even finished it yet. The lavender/purple tint of the game and the music selection make the entire experience so soothing.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
My apologies; I forgot to mark the download as being for Windows!

Great game.
Can anyone tell me the name of the main menu music please?
The title screen music is Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie and this particular rendition is from http://incompetech.com/.
Thank you, I've been looking for it everywhere.
