Synopsis Charlotte's story has ended. Charlotte's story has begun. A prologue. An epilogue. An end. A beginning. All ended well. There was nothing to grieve about. Info Hello Charlotte: Childhood's End is the final story in the Hello Charlotte series, serving as a prologue and an epilogue to the main plot. A prosumer noise machine, a virulent insect, an obscene revelation — and an earnest thank you. Hello Charlotte games: Hello Charlotte EP1 (2015) is a story about a memory of long-gone gods and loss of individuality, where your Puppet's new friend goes missing among the static. Hello Charlotte EP2 (2016) is a story lamenting the impossibility of universal happiness, and idolization of those out of our reach. As her mind unravels, ink will flow, and blood-red flowers will bloom in the desolate field. Hello Charlotte: Delirium (2017) is a spin-off minigame made to test some of the RPG Maker features. It's a red herring. Gameplay & Features The gameplay of Hello Charlotte features a mix of visual novel-inspired storytelling, exploration and puzzle elements. Solve puzzles! Explore the House! Experience 2 different routes! Get all the achievements! Collect trading cards! Discover new books to read! Talk to the tenants and your beloved classmates! Experience the conclusion to Charlotte's story and uncover the truth!
