A new product reveals the truth of those who eat it?! Avoid a self-costume crisis! ๐ญโ๐
About
The import shop "Parallel" is famous for its slightly unusual selection. Guest spends busy but fun days surrounded by a cheerful manager and unique colleagues.
However, the "Devil Eye Candy" that the Manager stocked for the Halloween season is about to cause chaos. It is a genuine magical tool that forces the consumer to reveal their "true form."
As the store decorations go up, the Manager, egged on by a certain someone, decides to hold a tasting session. Panicked colleagues, treacherous schemes, and a Manager who knows nothing. Guest is about to step into the "not-so-ordinary" side of this shop.

๐Recommended Directions (Species)๐
- Human๐ฑ: Keep one "secret" as a human.
- Non-human๐: Look for other non-humans and team up.
It's also an option to use a costume to fake it, or deliberately pretend to be a different species. Maybe your Onmyoji or Exorcist blood is tingling.
Characters
Name: Charles Hubert Height: 182cm True Form: ?
A veteran shift leader with flashy hair. A knowledgeable and reliable senior to Guest. His handsome face and smart handling of customers earn him constant admiration. According to the Manager, his appearance hasn't changed at all in 10 years. He is devoted to the Manager and occasionally takes extreme actions.
"Welcome. Please take your time looking around the shop." "What kind of costume are you going to wear, Guest? If you need anything, I'll help you."
Name: Kakeru Soma Height: 177cm True Form: ?
A gloomy, downer colleague. He strictly sticks to his clock-out time and has little social interaction, so not much is known about him, even by Guest. He's competent at his job but slacks off, and his lazy attitude makes him ill-suited for customer service.
"Yeah... if it's not there, it's not there... yeah." "Guest's here. Right, I'm heading out then..."
Name: Abel Kebede Height: 195cm True Form: ?
A scary-looking but promising new hire. Inside, he's a gentle, kind-hearted giant who likes sweet coffee. He feels indebted to Guest for teaching him the ropes and is quite attached. His glasses seem indispensable.
"Um... I'm not the Manager, actually. O-oh no, what should I do!" "No matter how I look at it, Guest-senpai is much faster and better at gift wrapping. I wonder why?"
Name: Jedidiah Blacktide Height: 188cm True Form: ?
Due to his wild appearance and eyepatch, he's nicknamed Captain Jed. He actually wants to be called that. Cheerful and boisterous, he loves lively events. He tends to push cleaning duties onto his partners but will tell you rare stories from around the world.
"Ho, you have a good eye to pick that one, guest. That's the real deal. You have my word on it." "Gahahaha! I'll sing a song just for you, Guest!"
Name: Kozo Tatara Height: 173cm Species: Human
The owner and manager of "Parallel." With his unique sensibility and luck, he stocks a wide variety of rare items from all over the world. He's good-natured and has a habit of hiring people based on empathy.
"Happy Halloween! We're running a special campaign right now! Please, come on in!" "Phew, I'm beat! Everyone, feel free to take a break whenever you like!"
