Polish indie developer Mass Creation published the Steam store page for its action roguelite Swords & Slippers on August 6. The game casts fairy tale heroines as rebels who take up arms against evil stepmothers who have stolen their thrones and happy endings. Players lead Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel into battle against armored knights and grotesque monsters, with each heroine wielding a distinct weapon and moveset. Snow White swings a dwarf's pickaxe, Little Red Riding Hood fights with wolf-like speed and claws, and Rapunzel's living hair acts as a weapon that bites enemies. Combat features branching combo routes, mid-combo character switching, and a style meter that grades how players chain techniques. Challenges begin at dawn and grow more dangerous toward midnight, with elemental powers and new abilities earned through repeated battles. Between fights, the heroines return to a castle base where the player, as the prince, interacts with them, builds trust, and uncovers secrets. Choices can lead to romantic relationships or a dangerous obsession if the prince's cursed charm is mishandled. The store page also unveiled new footage of Rapunzel, which drew about 150,000 likes on X and roughly 97,000 views on YouTube within a day. The game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam, with Japanese display support planned.
- The game was first announced in March 2025, with screenshots, GIFs, and development footage released on X since then. Posts featuring the game were viewed about 500,000 times in Japan before the store page went live.
- Mass Creation is a Polish indie studio. Its past titles include the belt-scroll action game Samurai Force: Zan!, the hamster raising game Hamster Playground, and the romance adventure game Date Z.

- The closer it gets to midnight, the more vicious enemies become, but the rewards also become more luxurious.
