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!

so idk why but i cant serve drinks can somebody tell me how i do it

ok i have a few questions about the game.


1. is there a way to track progress to the next event for each girl?


2. how do we get certain girls to come to the bar? like the Rapunzel girl she came to the bar 1 time out of the 100 in game days and never returned ( and yes i have been giving Dolores drinks to try to unlock something and getting nothing )


3 why do the girls never want to talk to the MC outside of the bar or even in the bar unless the drinks are involved.


4. is there anything else to do besides just shelling out drinks ( 2 a Night) and then sleep then repeat and hope a event triggers? 

1. For Patrons - yes; For the free version? Not yet

2. As in the current free build, the last available Rapunzel event blocks her from the pub (I didn't think it through well enough :D) but she will come back eventually; she's already back on the patreon build :)

3. I haven't had the time to create random dialogues for the talk button, I've been using my available time on the actual story arcs, events and commissioning arts

4. Not yet! (Keep in mind the game is fairly fresh, only published it on itch January this year, so hard to compare to some games which's been out for years+); with the current funds it's basically on life support only until it grows more :)

ty for the reply, im enjoying the game as it is atm and i cant wait for more content in the future updates. 

OH also when looking at the journal there is a box with a bar and as i give them drinks it fills up. what is that bar for? and by chance will there be more girls added in the future? 

if so could i recommend 

Merida (Brave)

Megara (Hercules), 

Chel (Road to El Dorado) and possible Moana? 

i can see all of these in this universe and maybe a longshot being possibly Ariel and if you want to add a "Bad girl" Maleficent could work kinda win over a cold heart thing lol

but other then that keep up the great work i can see great things from this and cant wait for more

the box filling up is to show the sympathy from the girl towards the player :)

There will be MANY more girls in the future 

The names youve brought up were already brought up on discord too, it will be just a matter of time

Thank you very much for your comments!

Really fun idea, has a lot of potential. If you are willing to teach i am willing to learn to help you build the game out more!

Thanks a lot for your offer! I don't think I could find the time to do that currently as my irl is crazy chaotic, but I'm happy to see you consider this a title with a potential :)

(+2)(-1)

I wish I could like this game. It's too bad all of the background art is AI.

can't afford hand drawn backgrounds sadly :(

Hi just want to know I'm new I hope this don't end unfinished and pls add a task menu and it's a bit hard to know what drink they want

Hey! Good to see you! :)

There's a hint system for the drinks, after using one ingredient once, it will remember and tell you if its correct or wrong when you try to make the same drink again - that way, even if you fail, you are one step closer getting to the correct combination :)

I see tkx for the info sir good luck on upcoming updates I love this kind of games

thank you! ❤️

Hi it's me again can I ask some questions 

In the future update well there be mission/quest to get closer or unlock content to each characters?

and well there be other characters?

That's just my question for now

does anyone know Jade's drink combos?

hi there, 

i have two questions: 

first: is it possible to somehow unlock the first Rae scene even tho I moved on in the game?

Second: i am stuck with Jade (0 scenes) and Poppy (2 scenes achieved). Can anyone give me a hint what I missed?

(-1)

Sadly if you missed her first scene you cant get it (yet)


It's best to ask for hints on the discord! :)

hello sorry to bother. Do you have any idea if this is a me problem that i need to fix somehow. Or if its a problem on your side 😀

I just deleted the game and reinstalled.

Cannot update Android version. Apk is invalid

(-1)

I just downloaded and installed it fine :)

Guess it's just my phone. I'll figure it out, thanks for the reply.

(+3)

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

(+1)(-1)

nope, but next month patrons will get an in-game guide :)

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.

(-1)

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

Hey, i still got the problem that it wont work 

Here is the report ( idk what it called )

thanks you. i love your work <3


Is that while playing in english or some other language? Or where does it happen?

Its pop up when i click on continu

How to find Jade/Tink?

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 :)

(1 edit)

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. 

(+2)

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)

Also wondering. Ive given perfect drink after perfect drink and Pocahontas does not budge haha

(+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

so far every month, but no idea if i can manage this schedule without bigger patreon

(+1)

Dont know if its just me but on mobile everytime you press history you cant return i have to close the game

found the issue, thanks! I'll fix that :)
