Tricks N Treats
is a short RPG Maker game by arcadekitten taking place in the same universe as It's Not Me, It's My Basement, Cemetery Mary, and Crowscare. Unlike those three, this one is more of a lighthearted, interactive short story.
It's Halloween in Blackwood, and Necrotary can't wait to go trick-or-treating. She joins up with Embry and Ryo, two of her friends, for a night out, and befriends Sunny Dae, a shy, blue-haired girl, inviting them to go trick-or-treating with them. But what Necrotary wants more than anything is to see a ghost... so she plans to have the gang travel to the local cemetery in hopes of seeing one.
This game contains examples of:
- Lighter and Softer: Unlike the other games in The 'Verse, which usually involve supernatural horrors, this one is a light-hearted tale of a gang of friends going trick-or-treating and trying to see a ghost. There is No Antagonist, with the conflict being Necrotary's desire to see a ghost, and the actual ghost in question, Sunny Dae, is a Friendly Ghost. And whereas the other games have at least one person dead by the end, here nobody dies within the story itself.
- No Antagonist: Unlike the other games in The 'Verse, there is no real antagonist to speak of. The conflict is Necrotary trying to see a real ghost, but for the most part it's just her and her friends having fun. Even when it seems like they've run afoul of an actual malevolent spirit, it turns out to just be Mary.
- The Reveal: Sunny Dae, the new friend that Necrotary made, was the ghost she was looking for all along.
