[STORY]
Once upon a time, in a topsy-turvy world...

In the beginning, you find yourself lost within a world of utter darkness. Your memories are gone; even your name is a mystery.
But just when the bitter loneliness threatens to break your spirit, you meet Alice—a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man who promptly christens you "Arisu."
Like you, Alice cannot remember anything beyond his own name. Ignoring his protests, you drag him along with you through the darkness... until you happen upon a massive mirror made of crystal.
You stumble through the glass and into the Looking-Glass World, an antiquated fairytale dreamscape that feels oddly familiar...
There, amid a colorful cast of gender-swapped fairytale characters, you take on the role of the heroine and join them in their twisted tales.

How will the story end? It's up to you!


ONCE UPON A TIME, a dramatic breakup unfolds at the cafe where you work.
Everyone is scandalized—but then the guy turns to you and says, "Fancy going out with me?" So obviously, you say yes!
His name is Kaguya, and he's your new boyfriend. He's everything you could possibly want: sweet, caring, and... HOMELESS?! Day 1 of the relationship, and you're already living together!
Where will it go from here?!

ONCE UPON A TIME, you awaken to find yourself in a strange, unfamiliar log cabin.
But don't worry! Here you have food, clothing, and everything else you need to survive. Only one small problem: you're tied up on the bed...
"We're going to live here from now on, where it's safe."
So begins a life of confinement with your younger brother Gretel.
What inspired him to take you captive?
What is his true objective? And can you make it out alive?!
