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'll wait til the game fully released.
Someone know the cheatcode?
learned the thief skill twice and it crashedn my game loll
Where i can find the real game and not the demo ?
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!
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
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.
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
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
I think it would be a pretty cool feature if you could buy a chest or wardrobe or something like that so you could store clothing that you've stripped off people so they can't wear it again, but have it not count against your inventory cap, or maybe just toggle on/off clothing that you've "registered" in it by having stripped it before. It seems more sustainable of an option than just expanding the inventory space all the time so you can fit all the characters' clothes.
Another cool thing you could add would be some sort of "lewd store" maybe run by a succubus NPC or something like that. There you could buy maybe some sex toys, but mainly you could buy aphrodisiacs, which you could use on the girls to make them hornier instantly with minor stress raises, or maybe could even be used on yourself/have male/female versions, so that could could cum more easily for those who want to cover girls in cum. Or maybe it could be just a potion shop run by a witch NPC, and might have some other types of potions, like a Calm potion, that could make NPCs less angry at you (or maybe an Angry potion just in case you want to summon the guards), or maybe a clothes-dissolving potion, which would dissolve one article like it was stolen, but you wouldn't get it in your inventory.
Another good feature would be the ability to "reverse pickpocket" like you can do in Skyrim, to put items back onto the girls from your inventory, and maybe, if you were feeling particularly ambitious and wanted to build on the mechanic, you could add extra clothing that you could give to each girl that would replace her normal clothes in that slot until stolen back. Like, maybe a shorter skirt for the shopkeeper or a chainmail bikini for the town guard. Or you might even be able to take the clothes off one girl and put them on another, which would be pretty cool.
I love this game concept! I don't think it's really been done before. And being able to trim hair and pubes with the knife is a nice touch, although you could do with making it a bit more clear in game.
I found a couple bugs. When doing Restrain on the town guard, when she has trimmed pubes, the animation is the full pubes one instead, and cumming inside with the full pubes crashes the game. Also, the guard gives Commoner Socks when presumably she should give her own unique socks, and she still shows up wearing socks when you fight her. Same goes for Rory's belt, socks, and underwear (although I don't know if it stays in future fights though). I also don't seem to be able to drop Rory's boots. Also, during Rory's fight, if you draw on her, a text pops up that says:
rory_6

Nice start. Expand it out.
This looks promising. I look forward to trying the full game
Nice game! This game has a future.
Hello, that a good game, the DA is very cool but i found 2 bug, i play v0.20 on Android, and I can't open my inventory, and i can't open the shop
Great game with beautiful art, I hope you keep your work going
Please update! Great game so far!
Aside from the obvious what fetishes are in / planned?
the amount of glitch in this shitty game is absolutely wild, its free so im not really complaining
Maybe complain to somebody that cares
you cared, thank you.
Hi, i found a bug that doesn't let you open the inventory during and after the fight against the guard, i hope you can fix it because i'm really enjoying the game <3 (this is in the V0.20, i didn't try the V0.15 hehe)
Bugs that I see (I play on mobile):
1. When you use the Mana potion/health potion, the item disappears but not the description, meaning the item is still technically there so you can spam click "use" to get to full health/Mana with one potion.
2. You can literally win any battle by spam clicking the attack button.
Shut your filthy mouth about number two that makes the game a lot easier for a brain damaged idiot like me
this game is pretty good so far, keep it up!
also, how do u find the rabbit npc, and what are the cheat codes?
the rabbit isn't in the game yet. cheat codes are in the changelog
