Twisted Childhood

Twisted Childhood

About the Game

Someone is calling you Devastator... someone needs you...

Twisted Childhood is a roguelike where every world is a different game, and every tale is about to go wrong.

Six tales, six games

  • Snow White — Stack blocks at the bottom of the mine and set ore into them. Nine opponents, from the seven dwarves to the Queen... and Snow White herself.
  • Pinocchio — Match orbs of the deadly sins and throw them in the face of whoever stands up to you. Each of them has a weak spot: find it, and hit where it hurts.
  • Cinderella — A dice game. Roll, hold, reroll, and build pairs, three of a kinds, full houses and straights. Load your dice and drink to level up your hands.
  • Alice — A corrupted game of tarot, played for tricks. Stick seals and dyes onto your cards, awaken the twenty-two arcana and spin the Wheel of Fortune... But watch out for the Cheshire Cat.
  • Peter Pan — A game of chess in Neverland, against the crocodile. The world opens with its first opponent; the others follow after release.
  • Sleeping Beauty is a surprise still to come.

Wishes

In every world you hold five Wishes at a time, bought from the shop, and they bend the rules of whatever game you're playing — over 150 in total. Defeated characters leave Corrupted Memories behind, and some Wishes are only found by those who look hard enough. Cheating is not recommended... it's mandatory.

Your opponent doesn't take it well

Win a round and the character across from you slowly corrupts. They bleed, they melt, they come apart. By the end of the level, they must have lost their life.

Criquet

Someone is coming along with you: Criquet! He's rude, he hates everyone, he wants revenge for his sky-high taxes and that unfair ticket he got... He's here to see blood, and he knows every trick of all these games: listen carefully to his advice...

And once everything is corrupted

Every world you finish unlocks its Endless Mode: build your own game — the opponent, the settings, the bonuses — and play forever.

  • 31 characters to corrupt, across five worlds
  • 34 Steam achievements
  • Two save slots
  • Fully playable in French and English

What comes next...

A roadmap is planned, and you can read it in the game: balancing, new worlds — Sleeping Beauty is already waiting her turn —, more languages, and replacing the AI-generated images with an artist's work.
