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!

I like what you've done so far, which is by all means, not a whole lot, but there is definitely potential. AI or not, most of the art is good to look at. I would suggest adding some sound, and a story/progression, but I assume those things are planned already. Keep up the work, can't wait to actually play what this game will turn out to be.
Is there is any game like this in itch.io?
I found a bug in android where, if you have 1 hp potion and used it, if you didn't interact with other item the ui for "use potion" is still there and it works, the downside is if you use it multiple time then you won't get to buy another potion since the used one null the one you'll buys.
Very unique concept
How do I beat the guard??
You will have to steal the shop keeper clothing, sell them, and buy a weapon (I bought the sword myself) and health potions. It takes a while. Unfortunately there isn't much of a reward for doing it though
steal her belt and equip it. its OP just ask my parents when i was a kid.
stole her armor, touch her. make her climax. i never use the attack button
Good job looking good so far
Looking forward to the next updates!
Nice game
Very nice game and even better art ;) i wish the developers best of luck for future content
potions no work
Has combat mechanics been introduced to the game yet?
It have the combat system but only one girl you can fight right now and it very early, i tried all the current weapon and bare hand, it all have the same dame result, but the sword it can cut the girl clothed who is fighting you when you attack, so it a feature for sexual content, you also can equip a wand and use steal spell you buy from the shopkeeper to steal the girl clothed then enjoy to fuk her, it also have a spell like summon something similar to tentacles ( another sexual content )
But if you want to try fighting the girl remember to have some Hp potion if dont you will die and game over before you can fuk her
well uhh ,then how to triger this event?
Just need to make the shopkeeper angry, by full the second bar in the screen
How much potions can you buy if you buy the wand, sword, conjuration spell, and thief skill?healing?mana?
It dont have limit on potion, you can buy anything in the shop, just steal the shopkeeper cloth and then sell to her :))) but make sure you need to wait a little bit when you steal one cloth, because every time you steal her cloth the angry bar it will increase more than 50% so if you steal 2 cloth she will be fucking angry and call the guard then you will go to fight the guard but she is stronger than you, if you dead game over. But dont worry you can steal all the shopkeeper cloth just make sure you need to wait her angry bar decrease
This is a very interesting game from the point of view of the concept. Nice animation and drawing. A good implementation of the game concept. I am looking forward to updates and hope that the game will not be abandoned.
This is awesome game, make a slime character and this will be fire
what are the codes?
love the idea of the game, it look promising, wish you the best on your journey.
Es un gran juego me preguntaba por qué faltan una cosas como sonido o personajes pero leyendo me doy cuenta de que está en desarrollo sigue así es un juego muy bueno
I want to play it... but it won't download......
mistakes I associate with ai are solely in background, so I can live with that
gameplay loop does have my interest, reminds me of that girl stuck in window game, or the one were you play a lesbian sexpest who preys on sleeping girls? getting a few ways to cool their anger quicker would be nice, maybe also a mechanic were you get better at groping?
Can you tell me the name of those game you mentioned? That sounds fun to play with. Thank you!
That was decades ago I fear, was on sites that did not care for authors permission, or the not-virus-infectedness of their users.
nice update please
Looks fun, will check it out.
There is maybe 10 mins of "game" here, but it's made clear this is a demo.
Although it is a bit frustrating that:
1. There is a Summon Spell (*edit) that should be called "Summon" in battle.
2. There is a rabbit character in the "Characters" tab that doesn't exist in the demo.
Maybe remove these from your demo until they exist?
I believe the summon spell only works if you have the staff equipped. Once I got both I could use a magic dildo on her that didn't seem to anger her as much as the other opinions.
Also adds the restrain spell when fighting the guard.
Thank you, edited my post.
Thank you. Fireball doesn't have to be purchased separately and "Restrain" didn't link up with "Summon" in my mind.
Despicable to be asking money for stuff made by AI
Adapt or get off Earth.
Nah, that's what the AI prompters should do
You're aware that this is a game, right? You can create an image using AI, but can you make a game that has a concept and good mechanics, using the images you create?
Moreover, this developer recreates his own drawings using AI.
Ignoring all this and writing this comment is quite a despicable behavior.
It's a game?! Oh, thank God. I thought it was a ham pie.
Same old same tired argument from the Luddites. The guy used AI to augment his own original artwork.
Calling people "luddites" for wanting art to be made by humans just makes you look incredibly foolish
How is this guys art not made by a human when he had the talent to create the original sketches. Your argument against AI art is just plain foolish in this context!
I have to wonder if you've even looked into what Ned Ludd is or you're just parroting hearsay.
Have you looked into what the definition of a Luddite is?
They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers.
Parroting hearsay it is.
android if posable please i will pay $20
welp ill have to pay up xD
Where can i find other NPC?
If you get the anger to max the guard girl will come and you can remove her cloths and fuck her.
Are there any other conditions to meet? I couldn't seem to make it trigger.
just him?
Will there be an android version?
This game is great so far!
Are the cheat codes a thing yet and how do you get access to them?
Same here
how do i sell stuff?
Click the moneybag from the front view, then click the "Sell" tab in the pop-up menu
When will the new free version open :L?
I know this is early development but do you plan on making an goth like character in the free use game?
Def an interesting take on the usual npc mc interactions. I definitely will watch this progress closely, looks like it will be a fun game
Obviously balancing will happen but for now it takes way too long for the angry meter lol
I would like it to be able to be played on Android mobile since I am not much of an Apple fan, if possible and if it becomes paid, I have no problem buying it if the updates advance ty
like the game free use and how they let you get to do things but first you have to unlock some other things hopefully youll do more progress in the gam
There is a Russian translation here https://boosty.to/cresil
Was any AI art was use to make this game?
It literally has the IA tag
I didn't see it well I hope these are templates.
I found a glitch, you can repeatly press the sell button and keep getting coins for something you've just sold. I immediately spammed it, bought everything in the shop and crashed the game
Looking forward to the future of this game,
Finally. Freeuse.
Good game
