Open Your Magic Shop in TRUE LOVE’S CURSE
Indie developer npckc has officially released TRUE LOVE’S CURSE on Steam today, giving visual novel fans a lighthearted fantasy adventure filled with magic, curses, and quirky humor. The game is currently available at a 15% launch discount until 21 July, bringing its price down to $2.54.
Known for creating A YEAR OF SPRINGS and a pet shop after dark, npckc returns with another character-driven experience that blends storytelling with simple interactive gameplay. TRUE LOVE’S CURSE puts players in the role of a witch who runs a magical shop, selling curse charms to customers looking for unusual solutions to their problems.
Rather than relying on traditional combat or exploration, the game focuses on crafting curses by combining different magical words. Players can experiment with their spells to create the perfect curse for each customer or intentionally make things a little more chaotic. In this world, only a true love’s kiss can break every curse, adding a playful twist to the game’s fantasy setting.
The game delivers an experience that players can complete in under an hour, making it an easy pick for anyone looking for a short but memorable visual novel. Alongside its whimsical story, it features hand-drawn artwork, a spooky yet relaxing soundtrack, and unlockable extras, including an in-game gallery and a curse book to collect.
Additionally, it is also taking part in the Nonbinary Coded Games showcase, highlighting titles created by nonbinary developers and celebrating diverse voices in game development.
If you’re looking for a cozy fantasy visual novel with charming characters, magical mischief, and a touch of humor, TRUE LOVE’S CURSE is well worth checking out. The game is also available on itch.io and Android devices, making it more accessible for players worldwide.
