![]() ![]() While I haven’t had the chance to read every book being offered here, these fairy tale authors have been vetted to ensure that you’re getting clean happy endings. And Once Upon 2024 is a way for fairy tale fanatics everywhere to celebrate this beautiful form of art. And in the middle of a very difficult pregnancy, I made the rash decision to join them.įairy tales, of course, are in abundance these days. Shea were finally turning the tide for fairy tales. There seemed, however, none to be had…Until 2014 rolled around, and I discovered this crazy new book world called Kindle. In vain, I searched the bookstore shelves for fairy tales that could be enjoyed by adults. There were very few fairy tale authors beyond them. And the obsession only intensified, except… (Although…can a fairy tale reader ever really get her fill?) Then I discovered Gail Carson Levine’s Ella Enchanted, which blew my mind because…fairy tales for older readers? Yes, please! Then I found Robin McKinley. I found early on in my childhood, however, that fairy tales were a fantastic way to escape reality and then return to it with a new dose of courage.Īt first, of course, I got my fill through Disney and my Reader’s Digest gold-edged anthology. Most of you know this, but I’ve always struggled with high levels of anxiety. Through them, we can escape to a world where evil is defeated and good triumphs! Where happy endings reign and love never fails. Why fairy tales, you may wonder? Because fairy tales give us light. ![]() Instagram: there! Thank you so much for coming to Once Upon 2024! I can’t believe it, but this is the FIFTH time we’ve celebrated National Fairy Tale Day with a Once Upon party! What started as a way for this extrovert author (we are rare, but we do exist) to escape the boredom and anxiety of 2020 has become an annual event! ![]() When she’s not writing, Brittany can be found chasing her kids around with a DSLR and belting it in the church choir. Perhaps it the devs could spend as much time on the level design as they have animating Cinderella’s boobs….Brittany lives with her Prince Charming, their little fairy, and their little prince in a sparkling (decently clean) castle in whatever kingdom the Air Force has most recently placed them. To call Cinderella Escape! a good game is certainly pushing it, but the maze-based puzzle gameplay does show promise and the story is bound to (unintentionally) cause a few laughs. As you progress, you earn XP, and level up and earn currency which will be used to purchase clothing and accessories in the full game. We’d love to see as much love going into the visuals of the mazes as the characters, as they do seem rather bland in comparison at the moment. The Alpha Demo features the first 10 levels, and the gameplay is quite fun, with you traversing three dimensional mazes, moving and smashing blocks, with only a set amount of jumps and kicks at your disposal. Luckily your fairy godmother comes to the rescue, and you start your adventure. The story is where things really get weird though – with Cinderella going to the royal ball, then witnesses the King (who is black) being murdered by his son, the Prince (who is white?!), then the Prince pinning in on Cinderella and throwing her in the dungeon. There are some very intriguing design choices in Cinderella Escape! – the two ‘ugly sisters’ seem to dress as if they’re off to some sort of bondage party and Cinderella looks less like a princess and more like she belongs in a Dead or Alive game. Cinderella Escape! takes the classic fairytale and adds some very odd plot changes, Anime character design, maze-based puzzles and jiggly boob physics to create an oddity with some very rough edges (as well as some very curvy ones). ![]()
