Overview
NPC Tales: The Shopkeeper is a 2D adult visual novel for players who like fantasy settings with a playful, self-aware sense of humor. It's a light, tongue-in-cheek take on game logic rather than a heavy drama.
Story
The setting treats other characters as ordinary NPCs, bound to fixed responses and game triggers. The player alone breaks from that pattern, able to push past scripted behavior and interact with the world on their own terms.
Gameplay
Play moves through point-and-click exploration, using dialogue and world interactions to nudge NPCs beyond their default routines. A shop setting anchors the loop, giving the player a home base to return to as they test how far they can bend the rules governing everyone else. Animated 2D scenes mark the moments where an NPC's fixed responses give way to something the game didn't originally script.
Features
- Parody take on game-world logic, with NPCs written as clearly artificial until the player intervenes
- Point-and-click interface built around dialogue choices and environmental triggers
- Animated 2D character art with a monster girl cast
- Exhibitionism and stripping woven into how NPCs break from their default behavior
Installation
1. Extract and run.
Changelog

- Added Live2D combat avatar animations

- Added fireball and thunder strike spell scrolls to the shop
- Added mage staff weapon to the shop

Bug fixes:
- Live2D animations have been added to the combat for enemies and Clover, unfortunately I’m struggling a bit to figure out how to play attack and hit animations, so for right now, they’re all only in their idle state. Additionally, Clovers clothing state is reflected in her combat avatar.
- You can now purchase the mage staff alongside fireball and thunder strike spells to use during combat. You can also purchase two skill books to learn steal and charm. Both can be used during combat, later they will have effects on the free use aspect of the game. Charm has a special animation when triggered, for now it’s only depicting one character, but will later display the targeted one.
