Thread 718206530

Are there any games that are based on old fairy tales that aren't grimdark subversions like the Alice games?

I want whimsy back

Faery Tale Adventure 2
Don't think it's based on one specifically but it nails the whimsical vibe

Unironically Touhou.
>But muh edgy youkai and muh Crimson Slasher
Entirely superfluous to the actual games, everyone fights with harmless magical fireworks and then they all have tea, the end.

Unicorn Overlord kind of? It's not exactly full of sunshine, but not exactly full on dark. It's pretty fantastical and neat, including whimsy, with a lot of fantasy.

Haven't played it myself but the ds had a wizard of Oz game

Dorothy looked cute

>subversions
The original fairy tales are darker than anything in whatever games you're thinking of. The happy Disney ones are the subversions - the harsh stories were to help people face up to the fact that life's not fair, people die early, die sad etc. To get over it. They were subverted into 'happy ever after', setting expectations that can't be achieved, extending dis-satisfaction)

Cute
>>718207262
That is interesting. Never really thought of it that way. Going to look further into this subject.

Mado monogatari

>>718206892
Also this

>>718206530 (OP)
There's nothing more whimsical than pirates. Therefore you should play seven pirates h

>>718206530 (OP)
Most fairy tales aren't whimsical at all and are actually pretty fucked

Yeah yeah, get on with it and link part 2.

>>718207786
Oh yeah, this is definitely going to be a video games thread.

>>718206530 (OP)
I just want an Alice in Wonderland game that doesn't go deep into grimdark and actually has you playing her exploring the world. Or maybe have you playing a male protagonist trying to find her when she goes missing.

>>718207954
One of many that also aren't

MIxed Up Mother Goose!

>>718207786
Why are they white ?

>>718208058
Because black goats are satan coded, haven't you seen The VVitch?

>>718208126
No I haven't. Source ?

>>718208275
>Source
Um...The VVitch. It's a movie.

>>718208058

>>718208316
No need to be rude. You typed it in a strange way so wasn't sure if that was a real thing or not. I'll check it out.

>>718206530 (OP)
don't expect a grand plot though

>>718207786
>The extra sets are on Fanbox so they're always censored

>>718207208
It's probably the most technically impressive game on the nintendo DS

>>718208448
They're even censored beyond the paywall ? Gross.

>>718208373
Sorry. It's stylized like VVitch but technically it's The Witch, which is such a generic name that it would've been pointless to post the name like that.
That said, the black goat thing ties into all kinds of satanic imagery at least as far back as Baphomet, so you could include things like SMT and the original Silent Hill as examples, I guess. I was mostly shitposting with the whole "coded" faggotry terminology, I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously.

>>718208448
>People pay to see a censored version
For what reason??? They get uncensored and posted on boorus/34 in like a day.
Lmao

>>718208910
Anon, people pay for porn. People pay for AI porn even.

>>718207786
What an awful mother

>>718208910
The pictures I'm talking about are exclusive to his Fanbox. Addons if you will.

For me it's the wolf Loli on the left

Furry cutie made for human men

>>718211516
The guy on the surfboard not losing any focus after being turned into a fucking furry is really funny to me for no reason.

>>718212047
Animation of that era has a goofy approach to physics, it's funny. You can see it in classic Gundam all the time.

>I recognize that artist

I think I've seen a couple of Red Riding Hood VNs. Idk if any are good tho.

>old fairy tales
>that aren't grimdark
Are you american, per chance?
'cause 99% of *actual* old fairy tales were written to make kids stay the fuck away from forest/river/strangers while parents were busy working. *Someone* had to have a bad ending for the lesson to stick.
If anything the happy-go-lucky fairy tales you think of are a complete bastardization of the original tales.

Love Dagasi tho.

>>718206892
Based. There should be an even more peaceful Touhou game where you just explore the world and meet all the characters and solve problems for them.

>>718206530 (OP)
I'm playing Cereza at the moment and it's a pretty whimsical fairy tale, but it's a Platinum game so I'm sure it's gonna get retarded soon enough

>>718206530 (OP)
The subversion is the stuff you know from Disney, the actual tales are madness Alice like. Mermaid fuckin died or something.

>>718206530 (OP)

Actually life sux and everyone should suffer and die, like the olde fairy tales say. *Crawling plays*

>>718206530 (OP)
Yeah yeah just post the porn version.
