Overview
Halloween night is a battleground, and the prize is every kid's smile. In Skulls and Sweets, you step into the pointed hat of Sophia, a young witch whose mission is simple: every child gets sweets.
Standing in her way is Thorn, the self-proclaimed Master of Mischief, who believes the night belongs to tricks. The two are creatures of Halloween, and though they'd never admit it, they admire each other.
Their disagreement over the true spirit of the night is settled the only way that matters—one match at a time.
