Overview
Description

On Halloween night in Auburn Pines, twins Wren and Reynold discover a world where homemade costumes come to life. Choose a twin, collect candy, cards, and quest items, then battle monsters in turn‑based combat as giant versions of your outfits. The adventure takes you through suburban streets, a spooky carnival, and a monster‑infested mall, all with humor and kid‑friendly fantasy. Use each costume’s unique abilities to defeat Dorsilla the Witch and rescue your kidnapped sibling.

With turn‑based combat, quirky humor, and a charming pixel‑art style, this 1995 single‑player experience offers a nostalgic journey for fans of retro RPGs. Every decision influences Lucienne's fate, making each playthrough uniquely yours.
