Very much enjoyed this! Trick and Treat is about Lillian and Ashley who you have to choose which one you can trust in and whether your able to get out of this cursed forest that has therioes of people never to leave once they have entered (reported that people go missing). The Visual Novel has multiple endings with one of them piecing the story together whilst others having different outcomes to the story. I found this very interesting and I loved the depth that the storyline has gone into! Replay value is there too!! Worth checking out if you like Visual Novels and a nice game to 100% on! I hope to play a future Visual Novel from these devs again soon :)
Before I give my review, I just want to give my respect to the devs of Trick and Treat! You are awesome and I can't wait for your next project! Anywho, Trick and Treat is an interesting VN. It surprised me to put it bluntly with it's story and characters. It had, in my opinion, a very interesting story that hooked me to find out more and characters that I had formed close bonds with!
In a quick summary of the game's basic plot: You are Axel, a 17 year old highschool student who goes out on Halloween night with his two friends Alfred, and Steven to investigate a strange forest where people have mysteriously disappeared. It's from there that the game is a roller coaster ride of effective atmosphere, tension, and emotions. The music is great and add's to the scenes, the characters are memorable and are easy to get attached to, the story is interesting and emotional, and the overall vibe of the game is dark and lonely. Those last two of which perfectly sync with the themes of the game (Halloween and etc...).
Those are the good things but this game does have it's share of flaws. For one, the text is sometimes poorly written and grammatically incorrect at times. And sometimes there are plot points that aren't (or are poorly) explained and story moments in the game that make you go: "Wha? ....Huh what? I don't-I don't understand-". Other than those flaws, I absolutely loved this game and would definitely recommend to everyone. Please, show your support to the makers of this so they can continue to make amazing games!
Overall I'd give this game a final verdict of
8/10
Personally didn't care for it. The English translation needs a lot of proofreading as it's full of errors and clumsy, awkward phrasing. The story is good enough to keep me interested but the mood often abruptly changes unexpectedly. For example, a scene where you're in a dark forest and fearing for your life and then the main character is suddenly regretting that he's not popular. The story moves way too quickly for me, it doesn't give you time to understand the motivations of the characters on any more than a basic level and then they have sudden unexplained mood swings; changes of heart, etc that make me feel like there's a lot more going on that was just skimmed over.
It has potential, but in it's current state feels like a beta or trial version.
Honestly, this little VN is good. For a free and simple game, its story is a lot better than other paid games I’ve played before. I didn’t liked much the “true ending”, but the essence of the story was really interesting. I’d play another game by those devs, I hope there’s more to come!
6/10.
This one had most of the problems of typical visual novels. As a genre they could be much improved by:
1. Logical connection between choices and outcome
2. Something more than a superficial concept on which to build a story
3. Plot, characterization, emotion, conflict, good writing...visual doesn't make it a novel. If I want a pictue book, I'll read Goodnight, Moon.
4. At least make the reader care about the characters -- much can be forgiven if the characters aren't cardboard
5. Avoid silly dialogue and response - in this one, the most common words were idiot and angry.
You get what you pay for ... except when you don't. The ratings on visual novels are much less reliable than the ratings on games.
First off, I just want to congratulate the creators of this game for having motivated me to write this, my very first game review. To be honest, I am practically new to Steam and even more so to Visual Novels; this being my first. That said, I am happy I chose this game to introduce me into the magic of VN's. Now, I am hooked.
As for my experience with the game, I really want to say that although I noticed a little more than a few mistakes in translation, as well as slight phrase/word repetition dulling the involvement of the story, the game is a master piece. The music and sound effects are so adequate and so soothing, they succeed in making you feel the emotions trying to be conveyed throughout the story. The visuals, charming and gentle, perform an excellent job at helping tell the story; only obscured in excellence by their repeated and prolonged use as well as the absence of some in critical moments. Lastly, as short as it may be, this game is worth one's time. I truly enjoyed this game and I will certainly recommend it. I honestly hope it grows enough in popularity to make it into a bigger story, either anime or sequel adapted for it contains a huge potential. Aside from this, I don't believe a game of this quality deserves to be a freebie, but it being so allowed me into this genre and for that I'm grateful. If you liked the game, don't forget to show your appreciation by donating what you believe is right on [ eidolon stigma trick and treat ].
10/10
On a side note, I played the entire game in English despite it being my second language; Spanish being my first. If I could help on correcting those minor mistakes I would be honored to do so for free, as a token of appreciation. Let me know if interested, and Kudos to the staff.
I'm sorry but I literally can't play this any longer, the grammar is awful, the sentences make no sense, if you decide to make a visual novel game at least learn to write basic English.
Review for the English version:
Needs a proper editor. I made it ten minutes in before I quit the game. The translation is pretty bad, full of run-on sentences, misused words, and constantly jumping between past and present tenses. I understand that English is probably not a native language for the development team (judging by the writing in their developer updates), and that's perfectly fine; but if you release a visual novel (i.e. a written work) that's badly written, you're going to get a bad review.
Objectively speaking (i.e. not judging by the plot or characters or any of the creative aspects, but purely from a factual stance on the writing and grammar), this game is bad.
DISCLAIMER: WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY NEXT IS PURELY MY OWN OPINION. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE FOR ANY OF IT.
I find it highly suspicious that the first game from an unknown development team (at least, unknown in the English VN circle) has almost 1500 reviews, and 3 curator reviews, after one month. What's more, 100% of the helpful/recommended reviews are positive, and almost all of them have been voted on 20+ times. The play times of these reviewers vary from 2-3 hours to as much as 13+ hours (which contradicts with the play times of the most recent reviews, some of which are less than 1 hour). Two of the helpful/recommended reviews are almost identical; to paraphrase, they both praise the true ending, and are both one sentence long in total. These are all my unbiased observations, and I have done no further research into these observations to turn them into anything more. Take them for what you will.
END DISCLAIMER.
I find it hard to give bad reviews to free games, but i suppose it would have to be a labor of love if a person gives it away. The game is short, simple, and pleasant. Nothing fancy, but certainly fresh and enjoyable.
The game has "nudity" and "sexual content" tags... idk, i'm not sure if that's a joke or if people are just tagging all japanese looking visual novels with that, but it's tame enough for a middle schooler.
Terrible grammar throughout. The premise was campy and honestly, just boring. the only reason i made it through was because i thought something interesting might happen. I played through 3 times. It is like a choose your own adventure novel where nothing bad can happen.
Lame.
At first i tought it be just a short novel which it is but with lots of alternative endings which is amazing and bonus! There is a secret special ending which came to my surprise when i tought i had finished playing until i looked at the ending section so i had another go.Story was creepy at begining, i did not know what to expect i ended up with a good ending with me surviving then started to see the other parts of the story. It gets even deeper and even more darker or sadder, overall i love the story its an adventure i will remember. I highly recommend playing, for who does not like getting free kisses from a girl ;) even if it sapping your very own soul!
It is a really story. I recommend it if you like stories with very relaxed play style
You can play this while you are falling trying to sleep or just wanting to relax a little bit
And i have to add:
The game has 8 ending,tThe fastest ending(ouf of all 8) can be achived in 10 minutes. However this is not really an ending. It is a fail ending, lets say. Or in gamer terms, it is being "defeated"
The game has one ultimate the most positive ending. All other ending are actually building stones for the story for this big bang ending. However you can only have that ending if you go through all other endings first.
While you are playing the game, you should save the game at all decision points so later you load and see the other options.
I don't know if I have it in me to continue playing this after my first playthrough. I have read an awful lot of amateur writing but this is so very badly written it had me cringing every 5 seconds. I don't really know about the plot, didn't get that far, but the writing really put me off. Maybe I'll play it again just for the sake of getting the achievements, but it's really hard to keep reading it.
Not to disrespect,
But how old is this kid? The guy who made this game uses the words "arrogant" and "annoyance" almost every other dialogue, it's like it's the only words he knows. Besides that, how he uses 'arrogant' makes it seem like a sheltered boy who can't break out of his friend group (if he has one irl) because of a social isolation bubble caused by a traumatically lonely (and probably religeous) upbringing, with a quiet and similarly sheltered single mother presiding over anything other than non-stop confinement to his bedrooom in front of a computer with no internet wrote this.
Also, the grammer is terrible, the characterization is lame [read: "non-existent"], and the squeemishness of its author seeping through its every pore speaks of the 'stench of death' mentioned in the game as that of its own soul, that of a child terrified to make a stand. Ew.
Other than that, Great game---[Player I.R. .((+))]
P.S. Sorry, Kid.
I'll pray for you; maybe ...you're just 13? Yeah, ...you've got time, God-willing.
Amen
I loved this Visual Novel. While it is short it is worth every second I spent playing it. It tugged on my heart and did make me cry. The story and the soundtrack were phenominal, and best of all it is free. If you are a fan of stories I would highly suggest this. I loved every second spent reading it.
For a free VisNov, the story is okay. For a free VisNov.
After playing through the entirety of the game and unlocking all endings, I have to say I was actually quite disappointed. With all of the extremely positive reviews floating around, I can't hep but wonder if any of the reviewers have actually read a decent story before, in a Visual Novel medium or otherwise. I understand that English was not the original language that the game was written in, so I am giving it a pass for all grammar and instances of awkward wording, but for the story to be so incredibly bland and contrite it can't be given a pass merely because of translation issues. I hate to go against the grain here, but the whole experience was kind of meh and lackluster. Both girls are one dimensional, the main character is inconsistent at best and a very poorly handled player-insert character at worst, the scenarios are extremely contrived, the romances are completely out of the blue and intensely underdeveloped, and the story itself was a typical cliche "dumb kids do dumb things on Halloween because of the village legend and find out it's true" fare.
If you're bored and have some time to spare, it isn't bad for the price of free, but if you actually want a good story, you're better off looking elsewhere.
It was a pleasure playing this game. Thanks for making this game. Sounds were amazing and the story was fascinating.
I loved the secret ending by the way!
If you like visual novels, you must play this game! I recommend 10/10!
And I think creators of this game should continue. You guys have a ton of potential!
Thanks for creating this game. Waiting your next game impatiently!
I loved it. You have to play all of the endings to fully get the whole story.. I now want to see the other novels in the this series and see what they are about. =)
Beautiful game.
This is my first time reviewing a visual novel. I really liked the story and plot twists that were thrown in. I picked it up as a test to see if I liked visual novels and I had a fantastic time with it.
I'd recommend anyone to give it a playthrough.
This free VN would be nice if there weren't too many Deus Ex Machina and convenient but predictable plot twists and asspulls. The MC has "magical power"? The hateful witch who kills and tortures human for revenge decides to keep the MC alive? Both girls fall in love with the MC after meeting him ONCE? The witch who has been living since 1700 cannot find her own toy after dropping it? The girl suddenly become a freaking transfer student? The cringe, oh my god. And the title drop, while surprise and nicely done with the achivement message popping right when she says it, is extremely forced and cringy. The art is a hit or miss. Some may like it, but for me, it looks like thing you can come up with a search on Deviantart. The number of good reviews this one gets is crazy. Apparently people here haven't tried any real VN yet.
