An extremely annoying game where even the slightest bit of stress can lead to an instant game over!? Pay attention to the characters related to past Candeminas! 》 Even the smallest things in “Demon King Muki’s Challenge” are annoying! This is an RPG about a hero who chews on the hard, elastic gummy candy “Candemina” to relieve his stress, lift the “Stress Ipai” curse placed on the Kingdom of Cande, and restore peace to the world.

And the game was over in no time. By chewing on “Candemina” each time, you can overcome stress, recover, and continue your adventure once again. The stress you overcome will be registered in the “Stress
Encyclopedia”, and by completing all 21, you will have a special ending that is different from the normal ending of defeating the Demon King. In addition, past Candemina products will appear in various scenes in this game. In addition to Candemina’s mascot character, characters related to past Candemina products such as the guitar-wielding gorilla “Singer Kong Writer” and the martial artist “Grape Master” will add fun color to the game.
