Little Goody Two Shoes Review (𝐹𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒)
No one has ever put this much effort into a lesbian video game! ♡
I think the most outstanding thing to mention about "Little Goody Two Shoes" is the time, inspiration, and heart which the developers put into a game specifically targeting a mere handful of people – why? It proves that it's true to itself, crafted with absolute sincerity! They could have thrown one or two male love-interests in there, or worse; added unrealistic romantic encounters appealing to male-fantasies, or even nudity, but they did no such thing. As a woman who likes women, dating Lebkuchen deeply reminded me of my own, earliest real-life romance. This game tore at my heart-strings like no other! It offers realistic female encounters, thoughts, feelings which all women can relate to, with a story as good as a well-written book.
I love the gameplay! ♡
The alternation between small-town daily life and the witching hours is addicting! The old-hat mini-games are oddly enjoyable, however this leads us down towards winding roads of discussion: It's a game which will seem frustrating to some, whilst to others, fun! "Little Goody Two Shoes" carries an element of false difficulty: You'll likely die with no idea of what hit you, on your first playthrough – not once or twice, but several times, and many cut-scenes aren't skippable. You'll be told to save often and use all your save-slots, do as you're told or what might come next on you. You may or may not get lost in the midst of mysteries without a guide, yet I highly recommend going in blind at least twice. You must know yourself, to know if you'll love or hate it, perhaps "Little Goody Two Shoes" is deeper than you. All I ask you to remember is that some of us LOVE a certain style of gameplay, greatly lost to time; all games needn't be accessible to each and everyone, and unnecessary negative reviews kill hidden gems – wretched down-voters! ;b
✦ Play it if you're female, male, gay or straight, no need to fret!
✦ Play it if you're artsy, it's a beautiful experience in more than one way!
✦ Play it if you miss old-school anime, or old-school games.
✦ Play it if you're an old soul, or like fairy-tales with a dark twist.
✦ Don't buy it if you're VERY easy to frustrate or anger (otherwise you'll be just fine)!
"There once was Elise, a vibrant and ambitious young lass with a big dream – becoming filthy rich. In spite of this, the stars didn't seem to have reserved our protagonist much fortune in life. Elise, who came from humble beginnings, had no choice but to spend her days away assisting her fellow neighbors with menial tasks to make a living. One day, Elise discovers a pair of beautiful shiny red shoes buried in her backyard – what a surprise! Bewitched, Elise embarks on a fearful journey that pulls her closer and closer into the heart of the mysterious Woods! Will Elise risk it all for the sake of a dream come true, or settle for her humble day-to-day life? The ending of this tale is yours to write…"
Trivia:
The horror elements in "Little Goody Two Shoes" are executed to perfection! It's not as scary as it's odd, though it could disturb minors beware! There are a total of ten endings, and 40 achievements for the game. It's a game whose story happens in Germany, the voiceover is in English, the developers are from Portugal and the opening is in Japanese. It won Best Narrative Award in Portugal's 2019 edition of PlayStation Talents. The story explores a naivete common amongst the poorest; whilst many wish for a comfortable life, the naive may think of same concepts abstract!

When she laughed, I laughed. When she cried, I cried. When he came out of nowhere, I felt terrified. "Little Goody Two Shoes" has quickly become one of my favourite games to date. It has been many years since another game evoked this kind of emotion and inspiration in me. ⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
