    Review: Charmed
    by Immoral Studios

    Charmed
    is a Ren’Py-based visual novel that blends light management elements with adult-themed storytelling. While the premise revolves around a down-on-his-luck protagonist trying to rebuild his life in a strange town, the gameplay focuses more on character interactions than complex mechanics.

    The game features static 2D images (sprites) rather than animations, but these are well-crafted and visually appealing. Each major character has multiple scenes, most of which are NSFW, and their designs are clear parodies of familiar pop culture figures—recognizable yet reimagined with originality and humor.

    Progression is fairly straightforward: meet characters, unlock scenes, and make basic choices that influence pacing. There’s no grind, no combat, and little resource management—Charmed keeps the focus on its characters and the slow expansion of available content.

    Updates are frequent, adding new characters and scenes over time. While it's still in active development, what's available already offers several hours of content.

    Pros:
    ✔ Clean and attractive sprite art
    ✔ Familiar yet creative character designs
    ✔ Regular content updates
    ✔ Light, casual gameplay

    Cons:
    ✘ No animations (still images only)
    ✘ No real challenge or deep mechanics
    ✘ Limited number of scenes per character so far

    Verdict:
    If you're looking for a casual adult visual novel with stylized characters and a growing library of scenes, Charmed is worth a try. It’s simple, charming, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    As of 0.4
    +AI matches quite well the design, although a bit inconsistently, some characters looks like absolute perfect copies, some not so much, but overall it does a great job.
    + UI looks neat and clean
    + The overall concept is just quite seducing really

    -Not sure why the animated tag is there...there isn't any.
    -Some 18+ scenes look out of place, like it was drawn by hand by someone who isn't doing at great as the AI.
    -The overall "affection" system is VERY unclear, quite frankly I had no clue what I was doing the entire time.
    -The drinks system just needs to have major adjustments.
    -HUGE freezes when selecting a fruit for some reason? (we're talking 5/10 seconds...)

    So there's a big gap there between plan and execution.
    The plan is great, the execution just needs A LOT of work, but so far it's just not there. I'll keep checking it because I have hopes, but I'm still overall heavily disapointed.
