“We were cursed by a toymaker because of our father’s selfishness.We were turned into toys with the ability to move and talk, except for our little sister.
Gold d'Lockes the youngest daughter of the family…The Toy Maker took her precious heart away, leaving her as a lifeless doll. And to break the curse, we must return that stolen heart to Lady Gold.”
This is the first otome visual novel from Dicesuki.
That is a different approach to a retelling of a classical fairy tale of Goldilocks and three Bears.
Aura is an aspiring chef on the way to her first job got lost in forest and found herself trapped in cursed D'Lockes mansion with 3 Bears. Somehow Aura finds that she is the key to lifting the curse which fall upon this mansion and all its inhabitants 7 years ago.
This is an otome game, so you have 3 possible suitors, who are Teddy Bears (don’t worry, soon they will turn into human forms) To lift the curse you have to romance one of them. The characters are pretty much tropes (except the fact that they’re Teddy Bears).
This is sweet light-hearted story, without bad ends. For each Bear there are Normal End and Best End.
Length is medium (about 5 hours).
The choices are not all intuitive, and sometimes it is pretty hard to figure out which outcome is better, especially on Sol’s route.
CHARACTERS:
MC (Aura Renali):
Stubborn, curious, talkative, caring. Loves cooking, cats and cute plush toys. She’s an orphan: her father died when she was a little girl and her mother passed away a year ago. So for now Aura have to look after herself and she dreams to become a greatest chef in the world. Or maybe she’s looking for something different?
Love Interests (MILD SPOILERS AHEAD):
Royal LeBlanc
Typical tsundere. Rude, grumpy, but caring. Before turning into a Bear he was a butler for d'Lockes family. From the start he gives Aura pretty rough time. Also he is mad at himself because he believes that the curse is his fault. Too rude. He definitely has commitment issues.
Sol d'Lockes
He’s younger son, but father made him the heir of d'Lockes business. He always loved to create clothes, and have a dream of becoming designer, but now he has abandon his dream, because he believes that his older brother can’t be trusted with family business. He’s responsible, noble and polite with everyone. Pretty boring.
Deon d'Lockes
This one starts flirting with MC when he’s still a Teddy Bear. Oldest child in family, he had to be the d'Lockes’ heir, but when he was 10 years old something happened, and after that father decided that younger Sol should be the heir.
Deon acts infantile: carefree, flirty, lazy, funny and irresponsible, but maybe it is just a facade? There is something in his life that he loves, someone that he wants to protect. His route is actually the most romantic, however I’m not sure if in the end MC found exactly what she wanted (despite of what she says).
