In this extended fairy tale set on New Year's Eve, you play as a nameless little girl, barefoot and freezing in a lonely corner of town, and clutching the four matches she failed to sell. But when she lights a match for warmth, its wonderful flame shows her... it's like she's there in Paris, France, but as a ghost. Soon, she will have to wake and light a second match.

In this game, you play as the little girl now known as Ebenezabeth. You intend to practice your newly-discovered ability to transport yourself to other places and times by looking at a fire. Your new papa, Ebenezer Scrooge, lights the fireplace, a wax candle, and an oil lamp for you. He points out the streetlamp outside the window is also a flame, so that's four fires for you to practice with.

Once again, you play as Ebenezabeth Scrooge, the little match girl who transports herself to other places and times just by looking at fire and is now a time-traveling assassin.

Once again, you play as Ebenezabeth Scrooge, the little match girl who transports herself to other places and times just by looking at fire. This story begins in the clouds. The King of Birds has been transfigured into a wet snail, and you must disenchant him with a magic whistle. Which melody will you play?

On a fishing trip, you overhear about a legendary fish, The Old One, that appears once every thirty years, including this year. You thrill to the challenge. You will succeed where others failed. The Old One will not be The One That Got Away.

In this small fantasy two-player puzzlefest, the Purple Pearl of Luck has been stolen from the kingdom, and you two volunteered to help get it back. To test your capabilities, the king imprisons you in separate cells where you must solve puzzles and cooperate with each other until you both have escaped.

In this small game, you play as an office worker. After arriving at your cubicle, you belatedly remember that it's Hawaiian shirt day, and you forgot to dress properly. Oh no! You forgot to get dressed! You're only in your undies. You need to get home quick without anyone seeing you naked, but how?
