Little Goody Two Shoes

Little Goody Two Shoes is probably one of the most visually striking games I have ever played. Its attention to detail and vivid aesthetics makes it feel like a living breathing picture book that I'm interacting with in real time. The 90s anime visuals is really the cherry on top, the interludes between sections, and the beautiful animation & music make LGTS almost an interactive anime rather than your typical RPGmaker game. That being said however, LGTS leans far more into the video part of videogames. Gameplay is far and few in between consisting of a good chunk of it are four mini games or slightly muddled puzzles during only one section of the day over the seven days of the game. The main meat of this game is swathed between the story, heavy visual novel elements and a lot of back and forth repetitive gameplay makes this title not for everyone since the pacing can sometimes halt to a crawl due to the friction between the gameplay and visual novel parts. However, despite the lack of actual gameplay I still enjoyed my time with LGTS. Elise is fun and a bratty protagonist with real moral qualms, and it was hard to get a read on all of the other side characters for better or worse which really immersed me in the ongoing mystery. The endings were slightly disappointing at first, and terribly vague, which led me to watching a compilation of them all which made the experience overall better, and cemented a little bit more love for the game's eldritch horror theming. If you love RPGmaker games or cute-scary games without jumpscares and with lots of story then LGTS is one to grab. It won't be for everyone, I didn't really truly fall in love with it until the second half of the game, but I'm so glad I finally got around to playing this one because god what an experience it was!

Even though I have both positive and negative thoughts about it, I would still generally recommend this game. Positive aspects: Incredible 2D artwork and animations. (However, if you have astigmatism like I do, I recommend adjusting the brightness and contrast settings in the game. Otherwise, it starts giving me a headache after about an hour.) The story is interesting. (Unfortunately, I haven't played the previous game that the original story is connected to, so this is only my opinion based on this game alone.) There are a lot of dating and ending options. (This can get boring after a while, and I'll explain why in the negative section.) Negative aspects: Some of the puzzles and game design are quite poorly made. Specially in Friday Witch Hour, gave me problems even on my second playthrough to the point where I didn't even feel like continuing from there. After a while, even if you know what you're supposed to do, either the map is simply too large, or you don't know what you're supposed to do in the first place. I'm not going to criticize the quality of every single puzzle here; consider this more of a warning that some of the puzzles are genuinely poorly designed. Because of this, certain parts of the game feel quite unreplayable. So far so good I've managed to get a few of the endings on my first run, but getting the endings for the other two characters has been much harder for me. Still tho, I have a lot of respect for yuri included games. There aren't many of them and when there are so few, it's not easy to find works of this quality.

:D

冲着百合来的可以去找实况看了，关卡设计师自己玩过游戏吗，看着攻略玩也会被恶心的程度。可以理解创作思路是高难，但是最后献祭那一块全程无存档点死了还要从头跑一遍没人能一遍过吧。然后饱食度系统有点过于严苛，小游戏也不算特别好玩。恋爱模拟部分也比较紧，基本上只能把一个角色的好感拉满。综合来看像是一个鼓励玩家多周目的游戏，结局分支也特别多。可是夜晚的解密和躲避过程实在没有有趣到支撑玩多周目，每次到夜晚我都要做充足被恶心坏的心理准备。印象最深刻的是周五摸黑的部分，开灯就被怪打，关灯就被地上的刺戳，还死活找不到出口，真是个很有意义绝对不是为了卡玩家时间的有趣设计呢。 说说优点，百合牛逼。虽然实际游戏内占比不多。。。画风和音乐都很有童话感，世界观设定却及其反童话甚至带点恐怖。我刚玩的时候以为是恐怖游戏来着。ost我循环了很久特别喜欢op和标题的曲子。 不过全日语曲为什么没有日语翻译啊，we need japanese and chines。 总之，建议和我一样喜欢百合的抖m来玩。

Pro: I loved the whole 90s CRT Anime style and the witchy fairytale vibes. Also liked dating the three girls. The style and cheese story are definitely the games strongest asset. Contra: In my opinion it lacks in actual game play aspects. The mini games where a bit janky but overall ok. Repeating them every day however was slightly annoying. The witching hour was often frustrating in controls and because it was pretty unclear what could kill you. So I often had to watch the same cutscenes over and over again. Overall the really strong aesthetics kept me entertained and I also wanted to see the multiple endings.

That puzzle on Friday made me wish I was never born. Awesome game

LTGS is a game I fully recommend. The journey of Elise uncovering Kieferberg's secrets and her own origins, is an intriguing one. I very much enjoyed it, as well as the sweet moments she has with her three romantic partners, though it may be frustrating having to go through a dialogue again if you choose the wrong choice in the events. The yuri is relatively tame in this game, so you can play it in the presence of your parents. But when you replay the game, you just fell horrible sometimes knowing what awaits at the very end. The game can get suprisingly dark at times, especially when it comes to the endings. The art is obviously gourgeous, and probably why you're even interested in the game. That goes for both the in-game character-pixel-art and the drawn 2D art. The landscape looks straight from a picture book and look immaculate. The music is just as good and is somehow reminiscent of the soundtrack from the Ghibli films. Not only are there four vocal songs (that come in cutscenes), the BGM is just perfect most of the time (Rosemarine's dialogue theme is my favorite). I really appreciate the charming mini-games you play as a job, especially the adorable pixel art accompanying it. And the fact that they were also implented as challenges for the testaments, is just an impressive design choice. All in all, this a beautiful RPG with good visuals that delivers an enjoyable experience. Just don't go expecting fight scenes or anything of the sorts. 8.9/10

cassy likes it so i'm sure it's great

I'm not much of a horror game player, but this game has interested me ever since I saw a trailer for it years ago. Little Goody Two Shoes is a Yuri horror game with resource management. The game centers on Elise, a peasant girl who's fed up with living in poverty. After meeting a strange Pagan girl named Rozenmarine, Elise begins experiencing a weird portion of the night called the Witching Hour, where a mysterious entity promises to grant her wish...for a price. First of all, this game is gorgeous. The 90's Shojo anime artstyle and occasional mixed media makes this a very pretty game to look at. The entire thing is eye candy, and I was always looking forward to seeing more of it as I played through the game. The soundtrack is similarly charming, and even features a few animated musical numbers. The day segments of the game mainly consist of talking to the villagers, doing work around town for pennies, and dating one of three girls. Each work segment consists of an arcade-style minigame, and your pay depends on your score. You have four different meters to keep an eye on: hunger, which depletes whenever time passes; health, which is important for the Witching Hour; sanity meter, which affects the way Elise sees her surroundings; and suspicion, which goes up whenever the townspeople suspect Elise of being a witch. The first three meters can be healed with items, but the suspicion meter can only go down by answering questions correctly and by bribing the local blabbermouth with food everyday. The late night portion of the game has the Witching Hour, which is where the horror part of the game comes out. Each Witching Hour segment tasks Elise with solving varies puzzles and overcoming trials in order to collect the three items she must exchange in order to have her wish granted. Elise is not capable of combat, so need to avoid enemies and keep your health above zero in order to survive. Resource management is a big part of the game. Elise makes very little money from work, and shops have limited supplies. Sometimes you can find items in the Witching Hours, but you may end up using them sooner than later. You need to manage your inventory carefully, as it is possible to get softlocked if you get stuck in a situation where you have no food or money and one food point. While it can be frustrating, it helps the player understand why Elise wants to escape poverty so badly. As mentioned previously, this is a Yuri game. All three of Elise's potential love interests are women, and romancing them is a big part of the game. Most of this is done by scheduling dates with each specific girl during the day and occasionally choosing the correct dialogue options. Each girl has a different dynamic with Elise, and it's fun to see them get closer to each other. I'm probably biased, but Rozenmarine is my favorite. I think my only real complaint with the game is that some of the Witching Hour segments are rather vague on what you're supposed to do. The moon puzzle in particular stood out to me as confusing. I also recommend that people save often while playing and have multiple save slots, not only to avoid the softlock mentioned earlier but also so that you can reload if you want to retry a Witching Hour segment. I ended up stuck in a difficult Witching Hour segment with one hit-point left and struggled quite a bit to progress. Overall, I really recommend this game to anyone who enjoys horror games, Yuri, or even just anyone looking for a really pretty game to play.
