Charmed

Once upon a time, there was a young man with a positive outlook on life and an empty wallet... This is the beginning of his story—one of struggle, change, and unexpected opportunities.

                                          

About the Game

In this game, you follow a young man forced to find his own path after losing his comfort and security. Kicked out, broke, and desperate, he stumbles into a small town where rent might be low, but opportunities are scarce. He’s hopeful but clueless, needing a job and a new place to call home.

Across the prologue, you’ll witness his encounters with an ex-girlfriend running a café, a hotel that won’t hire him, a lewd librarian with secrets hidden behind the stacks, and a rundown pub that may just become his salvation—or his downfall.

As he navigates rejection, hard bargains, and strange proposals, the question remains: can he turn a crumbling pub into a profitable venture? Can he carve out a future for himself in a town that seems indifferent at best and hostile at worst?

Key Features

  • A cast of intriguing characters—some from his past, some brand new.
  • Multiple locations: A fancy hotel, a modest café, a mysterious library, and a broken-down pub waiting to be revived, and more!
  • Romance, humor, tension, and growth as the protagonist struggles to become self-reliant.
  • More characters to come!

Is there a link to a pdf walkthrough for this game?

I loaded up my save and now I can't interect with any character. An error message saying "An exception has occured" keeps appearing. I've restarted the game and checked as well. Even if I load up in the middle of a new game, the same thing occurs.

sounds like your save is corrupted, but I wont be able to investigate it from a itch comment, nor will I be able to test it lol :P

Kafe de ne yapmam gerekiyor sadece basiyorum ve hicbir etkilişim yok

nose si alguien mas tenga este problema pero el texto de mulan no me aparece, solo aparece el de que tipo de bebida quiere pero todo lo demas esta en blanco

yeah, the translation for her is missing, but it will be fixed! :)

anyone got a save file? lost mine changing pcs

think the browser version broke. went to load an old save and while i knew i didnt get far i remember being past meeting Jefar but my furthest save was before it. no matter i went forward talked to him and and after a few lines of dialogue in the pub it sends me back to the start screen. when i tried to create a new save after the initial intro and im tasked with exploring the world the only option i have is to go to the pub and there doesn't appear to be anything i can do once there. 

how the hell do you progress with anyone i've been stuck in the same spot forever

I missed it. Is there a walkthrough

idk if intended but when you pick one right ingridient it becomes wrong if you pick another wrong one so thats a way to know the recipes but it doesnt feel intende

(+1)

Yeah it wasnt intended but i think its a useful glitch for people who wanna speed things up so decided to leave it like that for now :)

Is it normal for no one to be outside? Whenever I look at any of the locations, none of them are there except your ex at the cafe. This started sometime near the end of the first week. I am currently starting the third week.

Yeah i just fixed that bug few days ago so it will be fixed in the next patreon update and will follow the public version later! :)

I can’t exit the history in mobile

It will be fixed in one of the future updates! :) already scheduled to be fixed in the next patron version

I’m trying to play the game in desktop mode on my Steam Deck but I’m new to Linux. Clicking the .sh file just brings up the script. I’d appreciate any help for a dummy like me.

Either you need to set it as executable via the file settings or right click on it and search for run

Open up Steam when you are in desktop mode and click on Add Non-Steam Game. Select the .sh file to add it to your library. Go back to gaming mode and add controller support (I recommend gamepad with mousepad for vns). The end.

Could you add a button to leave the chat history for mobile? I can't escape it

Yeah it will be fixed in the next patreon update so probably in ~2 or 3 public updates! Almost done working on the fix for it :)

I got the same problem as jakejonie with the newest update.

Thanks! Ill get on it in a second :)

(1 edit)

try now!

Apple M2 doesn't allow me to open the most recent download of the game, even with a redownload or trying chmod +x in terminal. It doesn't give me the "unverified developer..." thing that I can override. It just says "The app can't be opened."

should be fixed in the new update soon! :)

I’m not sure how to get more ingredients, someone mind lending a hand over here

(+1)

gotta go to the store room (one of the arrows seen in the pub)

Do they ever wanna talk? Or do i just click through the days for bar scenes only? 

I've stumbled on 2 cut scenes since opening bar, but is all interaction pretty much just at the bar?

yup! It's still a fairly fresh state of the game :) focusing on linear story events and nsfw scenes so far, not really on more locations/unique talk opportunities yet

okay. Thank you. 

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something haha. 

(+1)

I don’t know any of these girls, so I’ve been calling them “Lady #.” Does anyone know how to unlock the h-scenes for the nature lady? Do I keep giving her drinks?

(+2)

(+1)

I only lokerup 2 cg of nature lady the seconed cg you should give one perfect drink then goto the toliet to find her does anyone know how to lock up mulan?

out of curiosity how often does this get updated

(+1)

How do i access the Rapunzel scene

(1 edit) (+4)

Scene 1) Feed her drinks until she bolts to the bathroom. Scene 2) Keep at it w/ Dolores. If she snitched on Rapunzel at the hotel, she'll do it again at the pub. ;)

how do i feed rapunzel drinks if she's never at the bar tho

(-1)

it gotten better but still the hints at not helping much i just got 2 drinks and both are from elsa who is the easiest if you know some herbology but the alcohol type sparkly ? fresh? invigorating? clean?  if we are not a alcohol expert  we would not have a clue what in heavens name they are asking for

There will be more simplifications coming, UI help hasnt been implemented yet and there will be more beside that too :)

Meanwhile theres a list of drinks on discord :)

Bro I like the game but please make it dumb people friendly , i cannot figure out the hints about the drink at all , i feel even more aware of my dumbness after failing a drink 5 times.

I made an account to post this.

PLEASE rewrite the narration to be present tense only. I want to like this game but I cannot stand past tense in VNs, it's extremely immersion breaking. The only thing worse than past tense narration is mixed tense narration.

Also, being able to set the characters' age as well as name would be pretty cool.

ETA: after having played a bit more, it's not just that the narration is past tense that bothers me, but there is way too much of it. This is a visual medium, treat it as such. As an example, saying "the girl was shocked" is completely unnecessary when her expression changes to show she is shocked.

Also, fuck AI slop. The real art in this is so nice, don't ruin it with trash.

Hey! <3

thanks a lot for your detailed comment! I'll try to break down on it so you(and others too!) better understand my motivation and perspective :)

I'll try to pay more attention to being more consequent with the narrative - it's the first time I'm doing it so I'll add more focus on it, thanks for the tip! I'll try to limit on the descriptions in situations which are already visible too :)

As for AI - I understand it can be disheartening for some, but currently I can't afford arts for the game other than the character sprites; It's a hobby project, I am not a professional and I also have family & work - all of the money from Patreon is invested  back into the arts - but that's $200 a month (right now, it was $50 last month) which means I can literally afford one or two arts per month. If I slow down on updates, people will start unsubscribing hence the patreon would start shrinking; In order to move to a full hand-drawn process I'd need the patreon to be _at least_ 10 times bigger, and that's still a point where I personally won't make a dime out of it (writing, coding, "marketing" and whatnot). 

Because of all that I want to find a balance of hand drawn and AI at the beginning, and then redraw AI to hand drawn arts when I can afford it. 

In my head it's the only way to make the odds be in my favor, else it's abandoning the project. And I don't want to abandon it, cause I always wanted to create something kinky and funny with these characters :)
