On the night of Halloween every year, Fairy Race Demons are free to visit the human world. However, if the Fairy does not return to the Demon World before midnight, they may never return again. The protagonist (either Jack Frost, Jack-o'-Lantern (localized as Jack Lantern), Jack the Ripper (localized as Jack Skelton), or Pixie depending on the character selected by the player) finds themself roaming the human world a tad longer than they usually do. It is now up to them to rush home before the gate back to the Demon World closes. Aiding them is a kind Pixie, who guides them through each maze-like portion of the path back to the Demon World (unless playing as Pixie herself.). Each character sees through a similar, yet different ending as they are able to return home safely.
