Cinders [Game Review and Walkthrough]
I've been waiting to be able to place this game ever since I learned about it. Well, I played Cinders and decided to wing it... And I was not able to finish it with flying colors... Still, it's one awesome and creepy (in a good way) game!!! Art: The art is sooooooo~ awesome that it will give you the creeps even when you just started it... I'm fond of it's fairy tale style and fell in love with it at first sight. Plot & Characters: To h*ll with the stereotype Cinderella! XD This Cinderella is a character that is controllable by you, that being said, the choices of the character shows how strong-willed she is unto making a path for her own and how she wanted to liberate herself from the status quo. The prince, her bestfriend, and the Prince's guard are all lovable characters as well who show their care for the girl of cinders. Another out of the stereotype road characters are Cinder's family. Both her sisters are misunderstood girls who are looking for their own roles in life, while their mother is a woman who only wants what is best for the whole household. I'm quite amazed by the fact that there aren't really any literal "fairy godmother" in the story since everything depends on how Cinderella make her choices. The whole game is a sure recommendation from yours trully!!! Now for the walkthrough~: ----There are four main endings in all... [Carmosa Poisoned]

[The Grim Fate]
The Grim Fate ending is the result of failing to successfully poison Carmosa. To do this, avoid doing anything that would result in learning about her or getting in her good graces. You must also not befriend Perrault, as doing so will lead to the Fugitive variant of the Traveler ending. When the decision point comes, choose to re-take the residence. If Cinders has no other options, she will then attempt to poison Carmosa.
---Hints---
1. Do not befriend Carmosa. Talk back to her, come home late, and do not save money for her.
2. Avoid Perrault as much as possible. You must not befriend him at all costs.
3. Do not follow the shady character when prompted. Do not succeed in extorting information out of him about Carmosa.
4. Do not search for a will if prompted.
---Variants---
1. Tobias Mourns: Flirt with him, spend time with him, and go out when prompted.
2. Perrault Mourns: Become friends with Tobias, but not lovers.
3. Ghede Mourns: Become friends with Ghede.
4. No Mourners: Fail to qualify for any other variant.
