The fourth game is slated for a 2012 release and will feature [[Little Red Riding Hood|Red Riding Hood]].

==
* [[AFGNCAAP]]: In addition to being nameless, the [[Player Character]] has no other identifying characteristics. The most that is seen of your avatar most of the time are gloved hands and jacket-sleeved arms.▼
* [[All Myths Are True|All Fairy Tales Are True]]
* [[Canon Welding]]: All [[Fairy Tale|fairy tales]] are true, as noted above - and they all take place in the same reality. The majority of them are actually chapters in the same story, with characters from one fairy tale appearing in another.
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]
* [[Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry]]: Seeing as these are fairy tale princess-related games, there are a ''lot'' of sparkly shiny objects - tiaras, scepters, jewels, carriages, you name it.
▲* [[
* [[Flower Motifs]]: Naturally, the castle where Princess Briar Rose is sleeping in the first game has a recurring rose motif.
** Roses also appear in the second game, along with many other kinds of flowers, but most of all there's a strong ivy motif {{spoiler|in memory of Princess Ivy}}.
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[The Voice]]: The woman whose recorded voice provides all the information about the current case at the start of each game. It's unclear who she is, although presumably she's some form of [[Mission Control]]. For no stated reason, it's a different voice in the third game than in the first two.
* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: The castle has symptoms of this. In particular, there's the fact that Briar Rose is sleeping in a tower... which can only be accessed by going down into a room hidden ''underneath'' the royal cemetery. Like the [[Canon Discontinuity]] mentioned below, however, this may be the work of her godmothers.▼

▲* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: The castle has symptoms of this.

Like the [[Canon Discontinuity]] mentioned below, however, this may be the work of her godmothers.
* [[Bookcase Passage]]: A section of wall-mounted bookshelves in the castle library opens to reveal the entrance to a shrine to Briar Rose's godmothers.
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: A piece in one of the puzzles features Cinderella's glass slipper; but to judge by the events of the second game, Cinderella's story took place at least a few generations after Sleeping Beauty's. Of course, this can be [[Hand Wave|hand waved]] because [[A Wizard Did It|the fairy godmothers crafted all the first game's puzzles]].
Line 72 ⟶ 69:
* [[You Have to Burn the Web]]: It's the only way to get past that giant-ass spider in the chapel storage room.
== 'The Exiled Prince'' ==▼
▲== The Exiled Prince ==
* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: Cinderella's rooms include a massive walk-in closet filled with nothing but shoes.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: The [[Swan Lake]] Princess's house has an unsurprising swan motif going on.
Line 103 ⟶ 98:
* [[Unfinished Business]]: It's heavily implied that [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White]]'s ghost has some.
▲== Rise of the Snow Queen ==
* [[All There in the Manual|All There in the Parables]]: Throughout the game, you'll collect parable gems which, when you have all of each kind, will explain how things got to be the way they are. These tell the parables of "The Rise of the Snow Queen," "The Mountain Beast," "The Golden Child," "The Tale of the Two Mirrors," and "The Snow Queen's Tale." The bonus game adds the parable of "The Witch and the Goddess."
* [[Anti-Magic]]: The Golden Child is a child born with an ability to resist all forms of magic.
