- Love and Magic: Spellfyre is now open for pre-registration

- As you begin your studies at a magical university, navigate romance, drama, and several death threats
Romantic visual novels have firmly established themselves as essential titles in app stores. While we often describe them using terms like 'narrative-driven' or other marketing buzzwords, their core appeal ultimately lies in their atmosphere and aesthetic. Each one targets the same emotional chords of romance and intrigue, just as Love and Magic: Spellfyre does!
Currently open for pre-registration, this upcoming episodic narrative adventure is developed by Candlelight Studios, with a launch planned for 2026. Although the title is fresh to market, the development team boasts extensive experience, featuring many veterans from Pixelberry Studio, the creators of the beloved but cancelled Choices: Stories You Play.
Set at Elderwood University eighteen years after the defeat of the dark sorcerer Andros Dreadbane (we promise he returns), Love and Magic casts you as his sole heir. With everyone in your life wanting you dead, you must choose to either reject or fully embrace your father's legacy.

Abracadabra
Love and Magic: Spellfyre boasts an impressively serious premise. Few stories are more dramatic than being the offspring of a dark lord like Sauron. However, with a large ensemble of attractive peers, a suitably dramatic setting to explore, and abundant entertainment value, it promises much fun.
While marketed as a fantasy adventure, its heart undoubtedly beats for drama. At the same time, fans seeking immersion in a rich, D&D-inspired fantasy world will find Love and Magic’s offerings hard to resist!
