Shadow House as puppets would be sweet since puppeteering is a cool art form.

I enjoy how creative the industry can get for April Fool's Day! This year ParaLive changed their site to Paradox Love again, which is a love simulation game. They really amped up the graphics with lots of glitter and sparkles and added in the new characters. lol They are giving out the host's business cards at the pop up shop that's going on right now. https://twitter.com/paradoxlive_PR/status/1509547315153059852

There is also Princess Connect Grand Masters, which is legit auto-battler game and will be available for a week. It's just a friggin banger to be just a joke thing.

Also Blue Archive had an animated video where four of the characters from the game started an idol group with a song by their voice actors only for the next video to reveal it was an April Fool's.
