About the Story

Mina was simply minding her own business, spending a boring Halloween night by herself, when March flew into her life. And broke her broom. Now Mina's been roped in to help March find a new broom... and possibly cause some mischief along the way.

A short Spooktober visual novel. Around 5k words, with some significant choices and two endings to discover. Will you trick or treat when you trick-or-treat?

Halloween and humor, January 26, 2026

Definitely a pretty fun and charming entry.

After a messy encounter with a witch, which results in her own broom getting smashed, the two of you set out to find a replacement. That said, your new witch companion has plenty of interesting powers which could potentially cause a lot of havoc.

The dialogue is pretty funny, and it is fun to try out the different (mostly two choice) options to see what sort of magical mayhem you end up causing. I liked the character writing and the funny impacts of the choices. The art is also solid and does a good job of conveying the story and the halloween feel. The halloween music also works well too.

It is one of the lesser rated games for the short games showcase, but I would say it's worth a look.

Brief and simple illustrated Visual Novel about a witch causing holiday mischief, January 6, 2026
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

I played this game as it was one of the least-rated games in the Short Games showcase.

It's a visual novel about a girl who meets a witch who's broken her broom. The pictures are drawn with bold colors and depict colorful characters.

The story is pretty simple; you walk around town viewing halloween decorations and trying to find a new branch for the witch's broom, and you intermittently get binary choices on how to treat people. While the game was short and its branching simple, I enjoyed the decisions, had to think hard about them, and experienced real consequences.

I found this piece charming, and enjoyed playing it.
