Psst hey, did you know that "Ravencourt Manor" in Halloween Scrooge is a real place? It's a house called "Ravenscliffe Castle" in our home city of Hamilton, Ontario!

It was actually up for sale again recently too... Anyone want to give us $7 million to buy it? 🤣 (imagine the property tax $!!)

different flavours of flirting you've already seen in 3 Seasons 😏 makes you wonder how Briar will flirt...

#otome | #amare | #3Seasons
Yuto, smiling with eyebrows raised, standing in the midst of a winter carnival. the textbox reads "I wouldn't rule out a second go, but I feel more secure with my arms around you." Rye, wearing a sly expression, standing in the spring office. the textbox reads "Well, you don't have to call it a date if you don't want to. I thought you liked bold and direct romantic gestures." Sol, blushing and flustered. the background is a sunny beach with NPC silhouettes lounging. The textbox reads "Oh! I was staring, huh? I just thought you look great--I mean, it looks great on you... But you also look great."

A screenshot from the visual novel Halloween Scrooge, showing the character Grimm smirking while standing in the main character's living room. The text reads "How about this... If you can guess the number I'm thinking of between 1 and 10, I'll tell you some small but ultimately meaningless prediction about your insignificant life." A screenshot from the visual novel Halloween Scrooge, showing the character Endo frowning while standing in the middle of a Halloween carnival. The text reads "if a hungry vampire gets their hands on you, I'll never hear the end of it."

In #HalloweenScrooge, you've newly moved to Ravenville and aren't in the mood to celebrate Halloween this year. A visit from three handsome ghosts might change that...(and you can flirt with the ghosts!)

This is a short and sweet cozy halloween game with flavour choices & a linear storyline! #vndev
