This 25,000 word visual novel follows a dog girl named Quinn who had just moved to Aspenmill after accepting a lucrative position at a peculiar bakery named Wicked Treats that sports a spooky theme all year round, not just for Halloween. What wasn't disclosed to her before taking the job was the fact that it's owned by a demon named Mié, a self-proclaimed ancient evil with a penchant for messing with mortals. And as is common for a demon, her schemes often involve a contract. 

There is one particular deal she likes to strike with mortals: For your most treasured possession, I will grant what you most desire. “What is that you wish for?” she asks. “Let’s make a trade.”
