Edit (10/31): The Kickstarter for this game failed to achieve the necessary funds by the deadline. As of right now there has been no additional news about future plans for this title!
It’s October and folks are already getting into the Halloween spirit, there are tons of supernatural and horror themed content on the way and I am here to bring you one more!! I know I’m late with this (again), but better late than never… So this time around I am covering a Kickstarter campaign for an upcoming Halloween themed otome game from Maimie’s Toybox, Mindless Box!!
The concept for Mindless Box was developed by Gabicho, the sole member of Maimie’s Box and has been in development for a few years now. There was a demo released back in 2014, but final release will a complete overhaul of the previous project.
*Disclaimer: The images in this post belong to Maimie’s Toybox.
Story
Mindless Box is an upcoming teenage coming of age otome game with a wickedly fun Halloween feel! The game relies heavily on the player’s choices to guide the course of the story.
“Players will join the young witch Emily as she finds herself reciting a spell incorrectly as well as dropping a jealous woman’s toe into a boiling concoction. This seemingly harmless mistake caused a very dangerous explosion, blowing the roof off of Emily’s favorite hiding place.
Unfortunately, that favorite place of hers was the old janitor’s closet at Autumn Harvest Academy. With no money to her name, Emily is forced to work off the cost of repairs by sacrificing her nights to clearing out the abandoned dorms adjacent to the academy.Along with three other troublemakers and one best friend, Emily soon finds herself thrown into mishaps and tragedies after discovering a mysterious chained up box. She begins to lose sight of herself and someone she thought she knew.”
Characters
In Mindless Box each of the main characters are students at Autumn Harvest Academy.
- Emily is the heroine of the game and a witch in her junior year at Autumn Academy. After a magical mishap, she finds herself having to perform a bit of “community service” as the school’s new night janitor. While doing the time for her crime, she and four other “delinquents” uncover some secrets about the school that should have stayed buried.
- Jack is Emily’s loyal friend and a sophomore. He’s a sweet guy that would do anything for Emily, but other than that he doesn’t have much of a personality.
- Lucas is a senior student who isn’t one for joining the crowd, but his quick wit cause others to flock to him. He is constantly working towards an unknown goal…
- Daniel is a quiet freshman with a sharp tongue who wants nothing more than to live a peaceful life. However, life has other plans for him, as he finds himself constantly getting into fights. But, beneath his prickly exterior is a truly good guy.
- Stephen is a rebel without a cause and a senior at Autumn Harvest Academy. He is a hopeless flirt, who’s philandering ways have landed him in the dog house. Stephen is an upbeat guy who’s only flaw is that he lacks direction.
