The Calamity of Camille
Once you get over yourself, you can start to understand why Camille would be weary of talking to you. Okay?
Most people talk about where they were born or when it happened. Why would Camille need to do anything most people do. Her soul has popped around from generation to generation- or at least pieces of it. So now Camille walks around with part of a demon soul in her body. Or, maybe Camille walks around in the body of a teenage girl. Some times, it becomes difficult to find out which is true- but when it comes out, it comes out!
The truth lies in the power. A power Camille barely knows. A knowledge Camille does not understand the price of.
Luckily, she knows the ins and the outs of the spell game. She speaks something coming from the id, then something from the ego, then something from the superego. Back and forth it goes, but it surprisingly always comes back to Freud being a demon from hell. Well, maybe surprising is not the word to use once you realize demons are real.
Speaking of demons, one shows up to teach Camille magic from time to time- and to borrow clothes. Not too surprising considering Camille has a knack for fashion and uses her powers pretty much to make clothes and enchant people to wear them. But, I am sure the surprise came more from the existence of a demon and their inclusion in Camille's life.
Her anchor to reality is less than stable, so she needs Camille in order to keep everything nice and neat. Well, not nice. Definitely not neat either. What the Hell is Camille actually getting out of this? Some cool little magic powers? Oh, yeah, she gets cool little magic powers.

The introduction music is always a fun way to make set the mood for the game.
Magical girls and crossword puzzles have never been more fun, tbh.
The most fun crossword puzzle I ever solved and it was only the tutorial
fancy fonts and sparkly effects really help
I'm stuck at the candle puzzle unfortunately; I freed Seraphina and burned everything I could find (how many should it be? unclear) but the game doesn't progress
also in the current build (7?) I get softlocked when entering Camille's studio; she can't move, only turn in place
I really want to see where this goes, can there be a walkthrough? just in case something like candles happens again
Sure! I can get a walkthrough up! There are 8 bundles of clothes with 4 of them being on the way in:
I should be able to fix Camille's studio pretty fast. The good thing is nothing special happens there in this mystery. I should have the next mystery up next week!
