The game plays like reading a novel. You continue to read the story, you make choices, and simply enjoy a romantic relationship with a great male character of your choosing. ◆The Story◆ Welcome to the Spirit World, a town under the supervision of the nine-tailed fox spirit Tsukumo. As our heroine, you wandered into the Spirit World as a ghost roughly one year ago. Without any recollection of how you died, or what your unfinished business may be, you are left unable to pass on. When you were alive, you were the heir to your family’s long-established traditional Japanese confectionary business. But now, with Tsukumo’s assistance, you’ve opened up your own sweets shop as your pass your time in the Spirit World. Set free from the strict disciplines forced upon you as heir to your family business, you are able to remember the joy you attain from making sweets as you spend colorful, entertaining days in the Spirit World. You start to think that maybe you will continue living on like this until you become an Ayakashi, the spirits who inhabit this world... ◆The Characters◆ Tsukumo A nine-tailed fox. Tsukumo is the animated overseer of the Spirit World, honored and respected by all who live in town. Though he is always trying to skip out on work, deep down Tsukumo is of a very serious nature. He even has a lonely side to him. In true Ayakashi-fashion, he displays unabashed gluttony for that which he desires, but he also possesses a gentle soul. He loves the sweets made by our heroine. "Mmm, it’s delicious! Your confections are the best in the world!" Akatsuki An ogre. Tsukumo's old friend. Akatsuki is a regular at our heroine’s sweets shop. While he may possess great strength, Akatsuki suffers from an inferiority complex as he is only half-Ayakashi. To compensate for this, he is tenacious about improving his strength. Our heroine seems to have caught his eye in a way no other has done. "Don’t touch me. You shouldn't be anywhere near me." Yuki A snow man acting as Tsukumo’s aide. Yuki is always chasing after Tsukumo with a stern hand, dragging him back to work when he goofs off. With a gentle, kind personality, he is an older brother of sorts to our heroine. "I'll always be there as your brother." Mike A Nekomata cat spirit who is considered young amongst the other Ayakashi. Mike owns and operates his own bakery, the Cat Cakery, next to our heroine’s shop. Depending on how you look at him, you might think he’s either simply straightforward, or a little naive. Mike loves to compete with our heroine over who can rake in the most sales. "Hey! I came to see how empty your shop was today!" Haruto A ghost who works as a popular waiter at Cat Cakery. His almost frustratingly charming personality is tough to put a finger on, making him popular with the women, who he treats oh-so favorably. Haruto takes a liking to our heroine for some reason, and enjoys leading her on, only to revel in her embarrassment. It seems that Haruto has been living in the Spirit World before our heroine’s arrival, but it is unclear why he has become a ghost. "We're both already dead, so our lives are over...but I believe we can still find happiness in the future." ◆This Game's Special Feature◆ You can set this game to Japanese, English, or Spanish and use it to help learn a language.

But still Charged *2025-12-05, version 1.0.10* Downloaded the game and finished the prologue. I was looking forward to doing the main story for the fox character, but when I went to make the purchase, it just tells me “purchase failed”. My card has been charged, but nothing on the app side is changing. The reviews and free episodes intrigued me to this game, I would like to play more. Any idea what can be done to open the main story ??? ### 3/5 — Pls help *2025-09-15, version 1.0.10* I know it’s probably a long shot, but I hope the game can be fixed. I see it’s a problem for other returning players not being able to access the main stories even after being bought. I also bought a few of the stories years ago and redownloaded the game to play again but I can’t access the main stories! I even bought Haruto and Yuki’s stories to see if it was just a problem with the others and I can’t even play Haruto and Yuki’s stories either! What should I do? This game is on the older side but I really just want to play again. If there’s nothing to be done then am I able to get my money back for buying Haruto and Yuki’s stories? ### 4/5 — Please fix the app im begging! *2025-07-04, version 1.0.10* I want to continue reading since i bought main stories for a few characters a long time ago but still stuck at loading files. It cannot load at all. I’m so sad since the stories was so good. Please im begging you, can you please fix the game. I really love the game and I desperately want to read it again! ### 1/5 — Make it free! *2023-11-29, version 1.0.10* I want it be free I won’t be able to buy so please ### 1/5 — I want the stripes for free *2023-05-06, version 1.0.10* I really really want to read the stories, but there for money. Pleasssssssssssssse make the stories for free. ### 2/5 — Missing Chapters *2023-02-15, version 1.0.9* I swear it’s missing chapters. I bought one (and disagree about it being too much). Compared to how much it can cost if you don’t want to take a month and only do the basic route of a regular Otome game $6 is a steal. That said, a) she annoys me. And b) I swear it’s missing chapters. I just finished chapter 9 and 10 of one where this skeleton serial killer that tried to eat her twice now had just finished attacking her and the hero had saved her. This thing eats people and has been hunting in the alley for like weeks. There is no telling how many people it has killed and clearly it keeps coming back even after it’s been kicked out. So the the hero and the other two enforcers of the world agree the best thing to do is kill it so it can’t kill anyone else. Especially since they all like her and this time it specifically targeted her to draw out the hero. And she’s like “omg no don’t!” Which frankly is dumb. And hero does kill it. And she’s like “omg I don’t know him at all. I see why people are scared of him. I’m scared of him to now.” Like…he just saved your life AGAIN. And took out a serial killing skeleton. Like…what exactly did you want him to? He beat up the skeleton before and it just came back. Do you want him to just set it free and have it continue to eat people? There doesn’t appear to be a prison here so it’s either let it keep killing or kill it. And then immediately after her internal “do I even know him? I thought he was kind but maybe I was only seeing what I wanted to” internal monologue, she says she doesn’t hate him but maybe doesn’t really know him. Chapter ends. The very next chapter they’re suddenly no longer in an alley and he has her pined to the floor and is making out with her and they’re confessing their love? What? How did we get here? She hadn’t even seemed to admit to herself she loved him and was still saying she wanted to be friends. Only two chapters ago he freaked out over her touching his hand and was still resistant to just being around her. And now suddenly he’s like “you’re mine. I love you”? He’s got like years of trauma from his parents death and just POOF. All gone? Plus I am convinced part of why he was so standoffish is because he made comments at earlier that suggested he knew his friend liked her was distancing himself for that reason too. But nope. That’s just dropped. And what happened to her feeling like she no longer knew him. Heck, what happened between her freaking out over almost dying and then witnessing him kill the skeleton that attacked her in an alley to them being back at the bakery on the floor together? Like it was a massive plot jump. I had to exit and restart both chapters because I was convinced I missed something. I don’t even know if I want to continue now because like it feels like there was an error and I just read the end but missed the middle. Or if it wasn’t the end I don’t know if I want to keep reading because like so many things hadn’t been resolved or had been introduced and haven’t gone anywhere. And it would be annoying every time something dramatic happened it just jumped to being resolved. ### 5/5 — Really good! *2023-01-06, version 1.0.9* It’s got really good art, tons of illustrations, adorable moments, & lots of different characters (each having a really unique personality) u do have 2 pay 4 each route but there’s no working involved in the game (u just read the stories whenever u want) one thing I don’t like is that they make u pay extra 4 a sequel, but honestly that doesn’t bother me as there’s still endings that come with ur purchase If ur ok with spending a little money then I definitely recommend this game! ### 3/5 — Problema *2022-06-06, version 1.0.9* Acabe instalar el juego… pero no me cargan las imágenes de fondo, quiero decir… que aparecen los diálogos pero no el personaje con el que elijo jugar, aparece borroso, prácticamente no se ve nada :( de no ser por eso serían las 5 estrellas, arréglenlo por favor. ### 5/5 — Ich hab alle Storys Gekauft *2022-05-26, version 1.0.9* Da ich leider schon alle Storys gekauft habe ist es zu Ende Tragischerweise.Es wäre schön wenn man Villt noch etwas Zufügen könnte da die Charaktere wirklich bezaubernd sind. Das Spiel War extrem spaßig Hey there seems to be a problem with the game, as it’s not working anymore. Please just fix it- ### 1/5 — Pay to play game *2021-10-04, version 1.0.8* Pretty upset that you don’t get to finish. Thought it was a really nice game at first, great character art, and a good plot. However I ended up deleting it, since you have to pay money for the rest of the stories. ## Frequently asked questions about Ayakashi & Sweets | Otome Game ### What is Ayakashi & Sweets | Otome Game?
