how the game fits the theme?
All characters are Halloween themed, as are the items they need. The need to hand out candy/dress up in costumes are a pretend reason why these Halloween traditions were started.
The game has several uplifting themes: helping others in need, using empathy to solve problems, welcoming the outcast, feeding the hungry, bringing courage to the timid.
Cute character models help warm the heart, and the making the only stressful element be a torch burning out is a family-friendly way of creating tension.

Hi, I think this is a really cool game. I did rate the game during the rating period, and I apologize for not leaving any constructive feedback. 

For my first playthrough, I couldn't reopen the control guide in the game using the `Q` button, as it was guided from the start menu. The most critical thing for me was that the torchlight from the main character didn't read clearly and the respawn did not provide enough feedback for me to understand what was happening. I did not know why I was being sent to the festival area. I thought the game bugged and restarted, losing any progress I had,  as the festival owner's dialogue was the same when I first met him.  I hastily rated the game, thinking it wasn't in a playable state, and I was wrong. Just replayed the game today, and understanding the torch mechanic, I was able to have fun and complete it. 

Not so critical but worth mentioning is that you can have very basic SFX and VFX for the minigames at the festival to add juice to them. Also, the dialogues for the characters are really great, but wish it were made more clear at a glance who was talking. Maybe highlighting, resizing the character portrait for the talker, or showing only one portrait at a time. 

Again, sorry for the hasty judgment and late feedback comment. It is a really cool game, and I see the love you've put into it. And thank you for sharing this game!

Thank you for the honesty! There are a lot of things we unfortunately couldn't implement in time, but I'm glad you gave it a second chance and got to see more of what we had inside.
