NPC Tales: The Shopkeeper
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
About:
A tech demo that offers a glimpse into a larger project centred around the concept of free use fantasy where reality blurs with gaming mechanics, and NPCs come to life in unexpected ways.
As the player, you find yourself immersed in a universe where other characters behave like typical NPCs, responding only when game mechanics are triggered. However, as the player you can transcend these limitations and interact with the world in ways beyond mere gameplay.
Mechanics:
Mixing free use mechanics with rpg elements, players will progress trough the story and interact with characters where they can engage in intimate actions.
This demo is a preview of the mechanics planned to be implemented in the full game.
It currently futures one character with most of the planned mechanics for the full game. The full game will feature multiple characters, story and more rpg mechanics
Develop your thief skills to steal from NPC's without being noticed, learn spells to interact more with other characters, increase your charm stats to seduce other characters and more mechanics like these are planned!

Good Game can't wait for the release
what fetishes are in the game
exhibitionism and light impact play
I'm 90% sure that she knows exactly whats going on xD
And that's what is intriguing and cool about this prticular game.
I wish they updated it a bit faster though 😮💨
Even for a "tech demo" this is pretty enjoyable. In some respects, mobile devices without hover indicators feels pretty good since you're experimenting around a lot.
i like this a lot, it's a very good proof of concept, i recommend keeping an eye on this project,k and dev, can't wait to see the release
it's also just a very good concept generally, very hot
Gostaria de saber se vai sair tradução br gostei bastante do jogo gostaria de q implementar q poderia a ver mais posições outros tipo de diálogo como boquete e peitos tam bem seria bom se aumentasse a mochila pra q possa caber mais item na cena da guarda de pois q gozasse poderia aver mais interação com ela sei q tem mais coisas vindo mais espero notícia em breve desde já agradeço
Are the guard’s animations scuffed for anyone else on current build?
Não é só vc
What'd you use to generate the sprites?
I understand this is a work in progress but it definitely needs more work. the Ai art is pretty generic. Pretty buggy, while having sex you still have the button prompts for the other actions and it completely messes up the visuals. The background for the shop doesn't make much sense on closer inspection either, especially the perspective change.
notable bug that you might need to look into. If you spam the fuck button in the shop, you can make several of the animations occur, if one of these triggers the combat, you still have the fuck UI during combat. If you are unarmed you can click the heart ui again for the animation to appear during combat. Making all other UI disappear. Pressing the stop button teleports you back to the shop with the combat music playing and the health UI at the top and you can't access your inventory.
Gameplay isn't too great in terms of design. when in the shop There's no downside to waiting for the anger timer to go down aside from making the game more boring.
Combat is basically using restrain on the enemy each turn and attempting to steal something, then restraining again, chugging mp potions for the entire time. While the whole clothes theft idea could be an interesting premise it isn't executed well at the moment.
There's a bit of potential in the narrative. Best of luck with the project and hopefully you keep at it!
its not ai art
AI generated is literally one of the tags
That's something i have to make sure i look at more often...
it shows the Produccion of it on patreon
Going to Patreon before playing the demo on itch isn't a common occurrence. I want to see what they have to offer before dropping money
So this needs some more work. There is only one location, a girl comes around randomly to berate you and finally beats your ass because you cant buy enough potions to tough her out. Only a few animations.
Potential, needs a ton of work to be playable at the moment.
Its really not that deep, its really easy instead.
1. Buy the Thief Book
2. Sell the clothes from The shopkeeper
3. Undress the Guard and sell it
4 F the shopkeeper at the Front Desk and do it as long as you need for the third girl.
Thats the whole game :)
Ps. You Dont need any Lifepotions or weapons to beat the game atm :)
Yea if you get the thief book and just sell stuff you will have enough to not only buy health potions but, everything else in the game. Can also steal from the girl who attacks you as well. Take her weapon too
How find the third girl ?
It's a random chance that she shows up any time you fuck the shopkeeper (maybe only in the "behind the counter" mode, but don't quote me on that). You have to get her to show up multiple times in one day to actually fight her.
thanks
The inventory fills up too quickly
yea the potions need to have a max stack of like 3-5 and only count as one item.
I'll wait til the game fully released.
Someone know the cheatcode?
i don't know a cheat coade but i do know a cheesey method to kill the gaurd.
Same i just spammed the tentacles and stripped her before just making them O or beat their ass whichever is faster
learned the thief skill twice and it crashedn my game loll
Where i can find the real game and not the demo ?
This is all there is for now
Very solid game ground. I love the creativity and the freedom. Some people rate it before experiencing the full game like the "hidden" animations. I really hope you keep it going and i really enjoyed playing. Some problems in my opinion is to keep the proces of girls when you reset day bc i need to put the effort from start just to reset the roy interaction.Some bugs: when use roy sword the icon dosent change from the normal sword . The pleasure meter stop at half when giving roy a blowjob.The invisibility potion dosent have a use button only drop. There are scenes that mix when fighting. STILL a 10/10 game ! <3 wish you the best!
if you keep the clothing pieces in your inv they won't go back on the girls after a day.
what a very boring game, it's been updated to 25 but you can only have sex with the shopkeeper? Will you as the developer of this game add other places and characters? Honestly, I think this game is boring and makes me feel sleepy to play it 🥱🥱🥱
This is only a tech demo to their game on patreon
You didn't play enough, there is another character that you can meet
Where and how? What thief skill can do? How to get gold? Is it just by stealing the shopkeeper's clothes? And what sponge and white brush can do?
there is 2 characters beside the shopkeeper: the guard and Rory.
First of all to get gold you buy the steal skill and just steal the clothes and sell them back to the shoopkeeper.
If you jump to next tday (the icon on top right next to hp/mp) everything resets so they regain all items, except if you hold them in your inventory.
To get the guard it is pretty simple, anger the shoopkeeper so she calls her, you will enter a fight, but you can steal her armor and weapon and win the fight by just molesting her, or if you stole sufficient armor fucking her.
Reminder that even if you reset the day if you keep her armor or weapon she will not regain it.
Now for Rory you just need to keep fucking the shoopkeeper, at some point Rory will walk in and warn you to stop.
Keep doing it and eventually she will challenge you to a fight.
Same as the guard you can steal her things and molest her.
If you leave her near orgasm in the fight then lower her health she will stop the fight and you can ask for something (up to this date you only can ask for a blowjob.
Now, the brush is just to write things on the npc's and Rory and the sponge is to clean it, no other effect.

I ran into a bug that loops the combat with the gaurd and the shop keeper calling for the guard. So you can never do anything or progress after that loop starts, after restarting and playing a bit more the loop happened again
I think it's bcause your inventory is full so you can't steal the armor, beat her and sell the items you stole.
The art seems to be fully AI made...
I feel like it would be hard to do this game using just AI art, the removal of clothes and animations dont remind me of AI. I could be wrong but either way ima enjoy the game
It says "ai generated" in the tags, and on patreon it shows how they generate it. Fuck y'all are dumb
Dude would watch the mona lisa and say it was done with AI
Are you planning to add other languages like Russian?
and how to make Russian?
While loading <renpy.display.im.Image object ('images/guardidle/sera_clothes_bodyshirt_d3.png') at 0x762d0be460>:
OSError: Couldn't find file 'images/guardidle/sera_clothes_bodyshirt_d3.png'.
I get this error whenever the guard is called.
The game mechanics are excellent. My only suggestion is to make the other characters similar to the shopkeeper, so that you can interact with them while playing, as the sex animations during the fight don't really interest me... For example, you could set a goal to defeat them a few times in battle, and if you do, they fall in love with you and are available to live in your house, where you can do things while they go about their daily routines.
But they are NPC's they just looping AI so that does not make sense
Tojan?
I've downloaded off this site and it is virus free. I can only personally vouch for the PC version, but I doubt that this dev would put a virus in their game. You usually don't have to worry about trojans or other viruses on official uploading sites like Itch, since what developer would spend so much time making a fun and interesting game just to put a virus into it.
I don't know about this game specifically, but I've gotten multiple trojans from games downloaded off Itch. Some were fairly high quality games too.
Huh.
My respect in humanity has fallen drastically.
...oops. To be fair, I believe Itch has some anti-virus measures in place, but with the lengths people go to, some will slip through the cracks. I'm pretty sure most of the virus ridden games I've played are now taken down, but with the rate of new releases, it may take a week or two for new ones.
i run everything through virus total first. If it even looks at it fun I don't run it
Are there plans for a steam release?
you can do the guard once you strip her and move the mouse near her crouch, best way to get the guard interaction is steal the tavern girl clothes or stick it where the sun does not shine... that is how i was able to do it :) have fun.
the belt does it in one go if you equip.
MOREEEEEEEEEEEEE 😈😈😈😈😈
Is it yet possible to have sex with the guard lady?
Yes but you need to undress her with the thief Skill
great concept and I enjoyed the tech demo, but I got halfway through playing it before I realized all the art was AI. I wouldn't actually mind if it weren't true that BOTH:
> this page nor any page about the game, nor their patreon discloses that the art is made using assistance from generative AI (EDIT: okay if you dig into the tags on this page it has the ai tag. I don't believe this is sufficient and I would bet I'm not alone in feeling that way.)
> they are actively soliciting money (through patreon) for development on these titles that are using AI trained on unpaid/uncredited artists' work.
I had to dig through the discord to find the creator discussing their methods. Apparently they do sketch character poses, but I couldn't find any detailed documentation on their process. It would be inaccurate to say they "basically draw it themselves and let AI fill in the blanks" and you can tell as much from the art in game. What's kind of disappointing to me is there's really only like half a dozen or so still poses of three characters thus far? A perfectly achievable scope in a reasonable time if they chose to use their own finished art. I think the planned game is also a reasonable scope to have genuine human art done, either by the creator themselves or a partner/contracted artist.
I'm not going to be as vitriolic as other commenters but the fact that AI use is not disclosed at all in any marketing surrounding this game is unambiguously unethical.
Please reconsider your dev workflow or at the very least your level of forthrightness with your audience.
Bro decided that this was AI art without a single proof.
I am sure you could see the mona lisa and say it is AI art
It's literally says "ai generated" in the tags, idiot.
Should we support the creator and then give them suggestions
I loved this game and i have 2 suggestions the first one is making it able so you can make them bald and then write bald bitch on their head.
and the second is the you can fuck the guard too I'd love if you add those two suggestions into your game
WTF 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
LMAAAOOOO i support this
Never let this man get near local kitchens
huh?
Cuz he's cooked
LMAO
Love this game, for a short game it checks all the boxes excited to see it grow. I really hope it turns into a full game with new locations and NPCs. I think a gag would be cool keep the shopkeeper from calling the guards. Maybe rope so you can tie up the shopkeep and make her kneel or get in new positions. Possibly could use the rope to capture the guard to use in the shop as well. Changing clothes and adding things like piercings, butt plugs, ect would be cool. Potions that affect NPCs would be cool too aphrodisiac, amnesia, bimbo, futa, etc. again great game awesome concept do what you think is best I don't want the feel and vibe to change either because it is one of my favorite games.
A gag to stop the shopkeeper from calling the guard is a great idea.
Question when are you gonna add XP
(Please ignore the heat from others they just wanna reaction from you)
Damn, why is it so hard to these AI shit developer about the transparency using AI.
Why is it so hard for you to stop complaining? Don't post hate when you are the only one hating.
Well thats an stupid sentences... someone has to be the first hating on order to other to be able to hate, retarded logic ocer there
Ok Palpatine
Bruh you must be very simple in the brain. Please go take an under water nap.
why toddler so mad lmao
Nice argument, why don't you back it up with a source?
I fucking love this game :))))))))))
cheat codes where
IDK
changelog for v.10
great game! there's a bug when giving the guard a creampie. The animation doesn't go off. It does however work if you cut her hair at at all.
And how did you find that out lol
Playing through I didn't know you could cut hair for a while and it ended up fixing it :P lo
How do you have sex with the guard?
try taking off her clothes in battle ;)
it lets me make her cum, bit no sex
