The original game casts players in the role of Viola, a girl who wakes up in the middle of a forest, where a path of roses leads her to the house of a witch named Ellen. She enters the house, and must find a way out again. The prequel novel centers on the story of how Ellen became a witch. The magazine teases that the story will be about "Ellen, the witch who longed to be loved, and Viola, the girl who was raised with love."
