Overview
Under Your Spell is a 2D RPG dating sim for players who want a lighter, school-set fantasy story with a comic edge. It plays calm and character-focused, without heavy drama.
Story
After five years of unremarkable grades and no love life, the protagonist agrees to an old spell with his childhood friend Eric, meant to bring them both the girlfriends they want. The magic works, but it comes with a price: to keep what it gives him, he has to hold up his end of the bargain and actually earn his place at school.
Gameplay
Play unfolds as a school-life sandbox, moving between classes like Sports, Conjuration, and Magic Theory while building standing among students and staff. Choices and interactions with classmates shape relationships over time, with the spell's deal running underneath as a running incentive to keep improving.
Features
- Hand-drawn 2D art with character-specific outfits, poses, and backgrounds
- A school setting with distinct classes that each carry their own events
- Progression tied to both social standing and personal relationships
Installation
1. Extract and run.
