comment
Cinders is a Visual Novel / Romance Game for PC, and later Nintendo Switch, made by Moacube, artist Gracjana Zielinska and composer Rob Westwood. It is a reimagining of Cinderella, in which you have to play as Cinders - an orphan girl humiliated and enslaved by her stepmother, explore the world around you, interact with people (and not all of them human) and find your own place in life.A westernized Visual Novel, which is already a niche genre, with an art style that is not anime-inspired, but detailed and lovely in its own way. Cinders also offers far more frequent choices than the standard Visual Novel mold, allowing precise customisation of the protagonist's personality to suit the player.You can download the free demo and/or buy this game here.

Magical Negro: Madame Ghede. She is the only black character in the game and may have "magical" voodoo-ish powers. The reason why she aids Cinders is because she is indebted to Cinder's mother and in Madam Ghede's conversation with the Shady character, he states that Madame Ghede manipulated Cinders for her own selfish agenda.

Mysterious Stranger: No matter what path the player takes, the Shady Character's backstory and motivations are never disclosed. The closest to a clue is a short scene in the epilogue, where he is shown to be on familiar terms with either the Fairy or Madame Ghede (depending on Cinders' choice of godmother) and it is only implied that he knew Cinders' mother.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Cinders (Visual Novel) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The subplot about Cinders' father's will initially leads the player to assume that Carmosa hid it and finding it will reveal that Cinders is the true heir to the house, a la A Cinderella Story. However, if Cinders chooses to find the will, she finds it rather easily and it reveals that the will actually left everything to Carmosa; hiding and lying about a will is incredibly shortsighted and idiotic, which Carmosa is not. She hid it because it's a sensitive legal document. Furthermore, Carmosa and Cinders' father were noted to have a good relationship, [[spoiler: so it makes sense that he'd leave everything to his new wife and not his daughter, who is all but stated to have been a minor when he died.

It's a Wonderful Failure
 Cinders (Visual Novel) / int_45e41b66
comment
It's a Wonderful Failure: The Grim Fate, where Cinders will rot to death in the Royal Dungeon. It actually has a very specific set of requirements and the player pretty much has to be trying in order to get it. To do so, Cinders has to be defiant to Carmosa, not pursue romance with Perrault (though can befriend him for an ending variant), not follow the Shady character (or not succeed in interrogating certain information out of him) and not search for a will when Cinders's narration point-blank tells you that a will might be useful. Then choose to try to re-take Carmosa's home by poisoning her. Because Cinders was defiant earlier, she won't trust the breakfast being served and discover the poison in it, have Cinders arrested, and she'll be left in the dungeon consumed by guilt and failure.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Cinders (Visual Novel) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The script clearly advocates independence and a realistic outlook, yet makes the Evil Queen ending more likely if a player expresses this. The script overall suffers from a lack of tangible morality choices, so 'good' is equivalent to 'passive' and 'cynical' to 'murderous tyrant.' Making the decision that Cinders' abusive stepfamily "should get what they deserve" results in Cinders being labelled 'evil', regardless of how realistic such resentment would be in a similar real-life situation.

Bait-and-Switch: the Traveler ending. Either the Fairy or Madame Ghede tells you to return to your house after the Ball, and they'll send someone to pick you up. But when you do return to the house, Captain Perrault bursts in to arrest you on charges of sneaking into the Ball with a forged invitation. This can make you think you screwed up somewhere...nope, actually, Perrault is just there to pick you up so you can leave town; the arrest was a pretext to provide Lady Carmosa a reason to let you leave without sending henchmen after you to block your escape.

Sophia clearly doesn't like Carmosa's domineering ways any better than Cinders does, and if Cinders befriends her, she admits to Cinders that she was similarly mistreated by Carmosa in her childhood because of Carmosa's Parental Favoritism for Gloria. Additionally, Cinders admits close to the beginning of the game that she actually feels sorry for Gloria because Carmosa's treatment of her is not much different from her treatment of Sophia or Cinders in spite of Gloria doing her best to please her.

Fairy Godmother: Played With. Both the Fairy and Madame Ghede are substitutes of the Fairy Godmother from the original fairy tale and can help Cinders get to ball, but neither are traditional fairy godmothers. Their help comes with a ominous price, or they may have their own hidden agendas. They have motivations beyond just granting Cinders's wish. If you take the Fairy as your helper, it's implied that she had a part in Cinders' mother dying.

Our Fairies Are Different: Your Fairy Godmother is either an ethereal spirit of the lake, or an ambiguously voodoo-ish black lady in a carnival dress. Parents as People: The game makes it clear that Carmosa's life has been far from easy, and the reason she works everyone so hard is because she wants her daughters to be well off. She's just going about it very badly.

Lampshading: Cinders tells the audience about the book she's read recently which featured a girl who suffered at the hands of her abusive family, yet did nothing but waited for the prince to save her and, finally, was rewarded. She decides that the book is dangerous for girls as they might develop a "martyr-like attitude".

"Not So Different" Remark
 Cinders (Visual Novel) / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: If the player has Cinders constantly sneak out of the house while Carmosa is briefly away and Gloria and/or Sophia don't like her enough to cover up for her, the ensuing conversation in the study goes poorly, and the "not so different" part gets lampshaded when Carmosa asks Cinders to say to herself, "I am not the only person in the world," the same sentiment Cinders wishes Carmosa would learn. Sophia clearly doesn't like Carmosa's domineering ways any better than Cinders does, and if Cinders befriends her, she admits to Cinders that she was similarly mistreated by Carmosa in her childhood because of Carmosa's Parental Favoritism for Gloria. Additionally, Cinders admits close to the beginning of the game that she actually feels sorry for Gloria because Carmosa's treatment of her is not much different from her treatment of Sophia or Cinders in spite of Gloria doing her best to please her.

Stupid Evil
 Cinders (Visual Novel) / int_affd30b0
comment
Stupid Evil: Cinders can be this or Stupid Good, depending on your choices. Being particularly Stupid Evil in a certain select circumstance can also get you the Bad Ending. The game is partly designed to send a message about the importance of not being either one of these things, and the trouble that comes from going too far to either end. The best endings tend to be those where the player prioritizes intelligence instead, or balances all the values. Specifically, even the tyrannical-but-clever Machiavellic Queen still ushers in a "Golden Age" and the Prince can fall in love with her, which is better than the "Good Queen," who is too weak to support his reforms and so cannot gain the Prince's love—just like the Evil Queen, who rejects his reforms out of her own cruelty. Both of the last two are suggested to contribute to a bad future for the kingdom, just more explicitly and dramatically with the Evil Queen. This can come as a shock to players who come in planning to play the protagonist like in the original story or the Disney version.

Lost Will and Testament: A possible subplot focuses on Cinders' father's missing will, which Cinders believes will reveal her as the true heir to the house. However, it's subverted because it shows that the house was indeed left to Carmosa; It was only hidden because it's a sensitive legal document.

Shout-Out: When Cinders gets too sentimental, she kicks herself back to common sense, saying that soon she'll begin considering mice and sparrows her only friends, and they'll "all go frolicking and singing together". One of the possible love interests is named Perrault. Another love interest is Prince Basile, named for the fairy tale collector whose book contained the earliest known variant of Cinderella. There's also Madame Ghede. Fittingly enough, you meet her in a cemetery. Carmosa's name is derived from Carmosina, the Wicked Stepmother in Basile's aforementioned La Gatta Cenerentola.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Cinders can decide to simply run away from home in some endings instead of directly confronting Carmosa or trying to become the Queen.

Calling the Old Woman Out: Cinders gets to do this to Carmosa in most (if not all) of the routes.

You Bastard!: If you care about the sisters, Sophia's accusations and Gloria's breakdown following Carmosa's death if you poisoned her are going to sting.

Gold Digger: Carmosa married for money twice and expects Gloria and Sophia to do the same. Cinders can do this as well if the player chooses.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Alternatively, you can decide to Pay Evil unto Evil and be completely horrible to them. You can even gain Carmosa's trust and then have her imprisoned or poisoned to clear the way for you as the new head of the house.

Beware the Nice Ones: Cinder's personality can be that of a good and obedient girl, but she is still able to poison and kill Carmosa to become the head of the household.
