Wahn und Traum
A downloadable disaster for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You are a country bumpkin from Springvale. She is a questionable royal who stirs feelings you hate. What if there was something to bridge the difference between peasant and princess? Perhaps it only sits in dreams and aggression.
You've been an assistant librarian at the Library of Favonius for a short while now, under the guidance of Miss Lisa Minci. It's nice there. Quiet, even.
Sure, it gets a little boring, and perhaps you'd like to know that your life hasn't plateau-ed quite yet, but let's all give peace a chance. Stormterror has only just left, after all...
But just as you're getting comfortable with your clientele, a girl dressed in mauve raiments clacks in, soaking up Miss Lisa's attention. She casts a quick glance between her and you, then makes the suggestion:
"Ah, Prinzessin. Would you like to learn magic with my attendant and I? We'll take a few days in the Whispering Woods for it."
Bewildered as you are, your heart beats hopefully that good things will come of this.
That first night in the woods, you begin to dream in purple...
- 4 nights of Faustian dreams with a certain recurring character...
- A single kinetic story about youth
- ~40 unique sprites and CGs
- Up to 2 hours of content
A lot of this story takes inspiration from Goethe's famous closet-play, Faust, about a doctor who deals with the devil to finally become happy.
Additionally, there are strong currents of psychoanalysis through the whole work that tie Fischl's relation to fiction with your feelings about her.

where to?
sure thing! just post the link here after you upload it please. I'm interested to see what you post
Sorry to ask, but I'm still curious if you ended up making that video
yes I am make the video just be busy take care of family member take my time to enjoy the game you just make it very good funny to.
Ah I see. Take your time. I was just curious
love the game. however why the mellon collie. as a very big pumpkins fan who is seeing them in September I had to do a double take when i saw this
The simple answer is that I like Mellon Collie; the longer answer is that I had this longer more elaborate plot centering on ruining the magic of youth that ended on this acoustic cover of "Here is No Why." It's this one to be exact:
Obviously something like this would be a little weird because this game barely has an emotional impact as is, so I had to leave it out. Still, this guy is very talented.
ahhh, i love this song. mellon collie has been one of the most impactful albums for me personally. even if you never got around to making the longer plot, ill keep this in mind as i play it and i hope maybe you'll finish it one day :)
Imagine going to study
