Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
With no plans lined up after graduating, Corinne agrees to do a favor and look after a hospitalized acquaintance's home... a home that turns out to be a ghost-infested bed & breakfast! Her peaceful week of housesitting becomes seven days of madness as she finds herself surrounded by a variety of eccentric ghosts with entirely different demands...

I try to replay this every once in a while but the file no longer works. I'll re-download it, but nothing works on the homepage when I click on it. Such a shame coz I really did enjoy this game and keep wanting to replay it.
I played this in one sitting and it is absolutely delightful. Very pretty artwork and very heartwarming story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to trying to get the other endings!
Hello, I did a full video on your game and I really enjoyed it, when i saw the description there was going to be cooking in it I was unsure I would Like it but i actually enjoyed the collecting the ingredients and enjoyed talking with everyone and doing the gardening. It was a very interesting game. Wish it was longer but loved it, Loved the art and music too. It ended up being two videos So i thought I would share the playlist :)
I loved it! My first playthrough took about 2 hours total - excited to see what New Game+ brings! The characters were well-designed and well-written, and I enjoyed getting to know them. The gameplay was fun and the whole game felt really cohesive and thought-out. Definitely looking forward to the Hermana Lumen-focused followup!
If you are interested in this game at all, I highly recommend you try it : )
Very good! Heartwarming. I can see this continuing into other games, and I look forward to the release of the sister game :D Hey, game dev? Don't forget to rest up and take breaks, too! I can wait :)
Heartwarming adventure game where you run a haunted B&B. Protagonist is a woman of colour. Well-handled discussions of death and grief, and (briefly) of sexism in household work. 4/5 - excellent.
This was really good.
I would totally recommend this game if you want a calm game and a heartfelt story. I really enjoyed the game, and it was very interesting to see how the house transformed as the days went buy.
At the beginning you can get a bit spooked, as there are elements in the house that appear without reason, but once you meet the ghosts, your perspective on things totally change.
It was very interesting to see that you cannot get all the good endings in one play. I really liked that, as it shows that sadly, you cannot always please everyone, sometimes you just have to choose what to do based on your values and morals.
Thank you to the developers for bringing such a beautiful story to life.
how to you give Shoes his breakfasts?
You walk up to him with the food in your inventory/fridge after talking to him, and an option should come up that says give food/don't give food. Click give food and you give him the goodies! :D
Thank you!
It seems that every time I try to adjust or change the settings, I get this error screen?
Which is a shame, as I'm really excited to play this game, but I've had to restart the game three times over because of this.
edit: also, is there a way to skip the intro conversation and bus scene? I keep having to just buttonmash through it.
edit 2: I can't save the game.
I managed to go through the entire game and managed to get a good ending! I love all the different ghosts and how well this game treats death.
Unfortunately, the game kinda broke when I tried to do New Game+ since. Can't save.
Really liked the game though!
Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Are you playing on Windows or Mac?
I'm playing on Mac.
Just checking, did you do everything in the Running CCD&B on Mac post? If you did all that and are still having issues it'll help me figure out what the problem is.
Ah, no I didn't, I missed it! I'll try and run it again tomorrow to see if that fixes the problem. Thank you!
It turns out there's no "Show Package Contents" popup when I right-click the folder.
Edit: Nevermind! Looked through the comments and found you helped someone else with this and used that method. It worked and I can now use the options menu!
Thank you for your patience!
This game made me so happy! Loved the ending I got. I'm saving New Game+ mode for a rainy day when I need cheering up.
What a delightful game. Illustrations gave the game a unique feel and the storyline was really enjoyable -- looking forward to the prequel with more Hermina! 💜
This game was so good!
This game was surprisingly good. It's not what I expected so if not for the bundle I would have sadly overlooked it. The characters, story, gameplay, and art were great!
Thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out and hopefully have a fix in as soon as possible.
Hi Grey-- I tested the same scenario, but wasn't able to reproduce the issue. Can you double check for me that you were inputting 01 when choosing how many flowers to sell? The only way you should be able to reach that dialogue is if you input a number higher than the amount of flowers you currently own (in this instance, 03).
The MAC workaround works! Thank you for the quick fix
The game is super cute and I can't wait for "Hermina Lumen is Only Human". I wishlisted it right away. I loved Corinne but Hermina was my favorite character!
Idk if I'm just being dumb but where's the option to sell flowers with chloe
Love the game btw
You have to talk to her again and choose sell from that menu. You can also chat with her there. When you first talk to her each day, it goes straight to buy
Mac OSCataline user:
I opened the game to try and run it. When I made the music lower I got this error upon pressing the enter key. Quit and restart but got this error 3 more times pressing any key trying to go back. 
As it stands it appears the volume cannot be adjusted any time throughout the game or you'll get the error.
Thanks for letting me know, I'm looking into it right now!
Hi, so the issue is with MacOS. There's a workaround though! Go to the CCDBmv folder, right click the "Game" application, and select "Show Package Contents." In that folder, go to Contents > MacOS > and select nwjs. Press OK for any popups that come up and the game should launch. You should now be able to save/load and change volume settings. You'll have to launch it this way every time you play.
So sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Getting things to work on mac is the bane of my existence. Do let me know if this doesn't work for you!
This fix should work thank you so much :) As a Mac user I apologize for making everyone 100 times harder, it's an Apple thing.
Just a heads up, the Mac version isn't working. Keep getting a 'No such file or directory'.
Thanks, I'm currently looking into this!
Hi there, it should be fixed now. Please give it a try and let me know if there are any other issues! MacOS might give you a "unknown developer" warning, in which case you need to go to Security & Privacy > General > and hit "Open Anyway" on the unidentified developer warning.
This game rocks. Looking forward to Only Human. :3
Which RPG Maker was this made in?
