Fairytale Thief: Hansel & Gretel
Do not, I repeat, do NOT let the witch eat you.
What do you mean 'why'?
Uh, your sibling would be mad?
The world (probably) needs you alive!
Being dinner sounds terrible on a resume-
It's a sign of bad luck too-
listen, it might be tempting and all but DO NOT LET THE WITCH EAT YOU
What else can you do, you ask?
Why yes, you can try and romance the witch
but if you fail,
Content warning for cannibalism
Also alcohol usage and burning to death
Also also, foul language and violence, because your sibling did not sign up for this
Last but not least, for that romance route, content warning for puns of varying quality. Native English speakers seem to consider these 'cringe'
You've been warned.
- 8 endings
- play as whichever sibling you want
- the witch can be whichever gender you want

I love the design of the witch ^^
Thank you for playing!
This was such a silly, delightful little VN. The dialogue had me chuckling (especially the puns), I think I got to all the endings? Some routes ended a little abruptly but honestly that had me chuckling too. And OMG the music goes hard! I'm definitely keen to see what comes next; this was my kind of silly humour, more please!
The only easily missable ending seems to be the 'red flag', which might get confusing for people because I want to make it canon in the future
Thank you so much!!!
That was fun! I love that the only change in the witch's design between genders is the hair, lol. (Giving the male witch longer hair than the female one. Peak.)
As a enjoyer of terrible terrible puns, I liked these ones immensely. What a variety. What great wordplay flat enough to fit under the door. The music used is also nice and fitting, the art is nice (...especially of the witch), and I like some siblings being silly. I too would kill everyone and then myself if my sibling got hurt.
I keep making guys with long green hair and I swear this is not happening on purpose. from now on I may as well do this on purpose
a game for fellow wordplay and will-kill-for-my-sibling enjoyers ✧ thank you!
We are so freaking normal, comparatively!
I love the unhinged humor and the fresh take on Hänsel und Gretel. The character design of the witch is amazing.
Thank you for making this game!
thank YOU for playing!
