About
From the developers of The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and The Cruel King and the Great Hero comes a new single-player, story-driven adventure. Mono’s sister is the only one who has ever treated her like family, so when she comes down with Paper Mortis, there’s nothing Mono won’t do to save her.
The deadly disease transforms the girls who contract it first into storybooks known as “Grimmoires,” and then into monsters. Mono will have to make a contract with Mar, a fantastical monster, if she’s to have any hope of traversing the Libratarium where her sister is kept.
Dive into different storybooks to learn the tales of the girls who became them. You’ll solve puzzles, fight bosses, and do whatever it takes to track down your sister and save her from this incurable disease. Drawn by hand to look just like a picture book, The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster is one fairytale you won’t want to miss.
