1. When you're going to ask Eric about the mind trial at night, the background will change to daylight from night.
2.If you select mingle to rush for appeal, you'll meet Katelyn even before you're chosen by the cup, then she'll regard you as champion ahead of the choose event. (If she's good at divination then NVM ：P)
I have three questions as to the future plans. I will not elaborate on said questions, though I feel I may not need to. 1: Ghostussy? 2: Tavern Lady? 3: Teachers?
That's really strange. I just checked, and there's absolutely no issues for me. Maybe did you try it on other devices? Maybe there's something with permissions on your current one?
Wait, are you trying to save the n the save page with "A" instead of a number from "1-9"? Because I am having a an issue similar to what you have described there. That will still need to be fixed, of course. But for now, maybe try saving on a different page?
Would it be possible to get a walkthrough? I don't care for "gameplay" in a VN, only the story. There's no indication or hint for what I should be doing to get with any of the girls, let alone an indication on if I can try to date the Phys-ed or Potion-making teacher.
Alternatively, it'd be nice if there were at least an indication to show that an event will happen if you choose one of the time-slot options.
There is a journal functionality that give you some context on what's happening with each girl. It is will be available for non Patreon supporters next week.
As for the walkthrough, you might want to read this most recent devblog entry Devblog #56
there is a URM 0x52 (Universal Ren'Py Mod) thing that will indicate what choices will do, its for the renpy games, its also a bit of a cheat, but will do the job, u can just ignore the orher stuff but "choices detected" menu (this looks like a renpy game if it isnt then gg)
crazy good game i finally placed first in the trial
can anyone help me with the lily route? when i first downloaded the game i was half asleep, and just so happened to get her first two events. recently, she hasnt showed up for me once and its driving me crazy
Artwork is great, meeting and interacting with characters (what little there is of it) is fine, all of the 'gameplay' is worthless. It amounts to blind stat-grinding, which is unfun. Your stats can deteriorate, which adds to unfun-ness. Put a character in each class/ activity, and some indication of progress you are making with these characters.
The 'fun' part of stat-grind games is the narrative scenes and character interactions, the point of grinding stats is to see scenes with characters, you need to be able to plan ahead so you can follow a character's route or have enough stat to pass a check.
Yeah, like did miss something. It did trials, and basically got barely and Interaction with any characters. And the stat system needs a total overhaul. All that work for little to no reward.
its hard to go back and try other options because there is no rollback, i have to do the whole event before i can save, and i forget to save in between classes
Hello, Shady Characters. First I want to thank you for the difficulty of planning stats. You have linked stats to routes and passing trials in an interesting way. However, I am also disappointed by how little difference changes make when the scale goes up. Meeting girls? They are short and superficial, so they don't evoke much emotion. Progress notifications? They repeat for too long, as if there is no progress at all. I would like to see the mc go through difficulties and learn the essence of things, even if it's only in words. He's not doing this just for the girls, right? He's getting stronger and changing himself, and that's important to show. I understand that the project is in early development and there is no much music or art, but still the tournament disappointed me. The event would have been amazing if the arts changed each time the setting or challenge changed. For now we see one boring field...
It would be great to see a more detailed exploration of the female characters, rather than just hearing constant words about how incredible they all are. Girls won't seem attractive just because they are popular or mysterious.
I believe in you, Shady Characters and I expect a lot from this game. If my review helps in any way I will be glad to support you further.
Hey, Shady Characters - Itch.io has released a statement regarding NSFW games (https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content) and the changes that will come forth with it. How may this affect Under Your Spell? Any foreseeable idea on what problems it may make?
Honestly, no idea yet. The situation is still developing, but hopefully we will be spared since Under Your Spell doesn't have any of the themes that usually get banned
Train skills (mostly mind related), but most importantly - experiment and see what each interaction with each door does and plan your route accordingly. With stats high enough, you can breeze through the trial. Without correct stats, it is still very winnable, but you need to know exactly what you are doing.
You can get the first place with 30 in all stats if you do everything just right, but it will be tough. Second place should be very doable with your stats, but, again, you need to really know what to do. The first Trial should not generally be an easy thing to win for a jack of all trades character. That's alright though. You are not required to win every Trial to win the tournament, and definitely not to win the girls
Focus on increasing your intelligence or magical power around 80 points. I still recommend the first option, because it's more interesting than blowing up all the doors, it's easier to get closer to girls, and also to pass tests successfully. If you have that many points and you see something like "you should know about this" in the options, you will pass 90% door's.
Do you think you could add a quest log that's gives subtle hints as what to do to pursue the girls? Like "you've seen Elizabeth in the potion rooms a few times on your way back from the library in the evenings" which tells us to use the study option last to interact with her or somethinglike hat. I went completely bored cause I was just repeatedly going to class and going to town or exploring and nothing happened 80 percent of the time. Still it's a great game so far! Especially since I know how to code and re-activate the dev console XD
???.....dude you have the ENTIRE internet at your disposal. If you don't know how to do something and need guidance I recommend searching it up. It's too long winded for me to be bothered explaining here

2 bugs I've found:
1. When you're going to ask Eric about the mind trial at night, the background will change to daylight from night.
2.If you select mingle to rush for appeal, you'll meet Katelyn even before you're chosen by the cup, then she'll regard you as champion ahead of the choose event. (If she's good at divination then NVM ：P)
Looking forward to date with Elisabeth~~
I have three questions as to the future plans. I will not elaborate on said questions, though I feel I may not need to.
1: Ghostussy?
2: Tavern Lady?
3: Teachers?
1. A tentative yes, though not the way you are expecting.
2. A definitive yes.
3. A tentative no, but we keep the options open.
How to date with girls? Or it hasn’t been updated yet?
If you are asking about dates that get a date assigned (i.e. Elizabeth, Aislong and Katelyn), then yes those are not in the game yet.
Can someone explain how potions work currently? I do not understand their function.
Do they boost our stats permanently or temporarily?
Also, what is the best stat to focus on to spend time with the girls? I would like to see all of them.
The potions give you a boost that decreases every day until gone completely.
Different girls prefer different stats, so it is up to you really.
Thank you for answering and explaining this.
As a Android user primarily can we get access to rollback options and have the ability to save at any point in game?
the boys look fine, can you make a gay route as well?
sometimes it bug'ed? while train or whatever do in 2 last action no " message about point " apears.
Oh, yeah, not really a bug, just forgot to put those messages there. Thanks!
Is there a way for me to cheat or edit my stats?
you can use URM( universal renpy mod) put the file into '>under_your_spell >game' folder universal renpy mod
Was there android version?
Dont know
Ok
is the date with elizabeth broken just with me or is it a problem with everyone?
Not in the game yet
Are any dates in the game?
I'm on android and I can't save, someone please help me, I just want to play the game.
There should be a "save" button in the lower right corner of the screen in Your Room.
I do have that, but then it asks me to name my save and no matter what I do or press it won't move on and actually save
That's really strange. I just checked, and there's absolutely no issues for me. Maybe did you try it on other devices? Maybe there's something with permissions on your current one?
It worked with 2 saves and now has stopped and I don't know why and it is stumping my progress, I guess I just have to cry 😭
Wait, are you trying to save the n the save page with "A" instead of a number from "1-9"? Because I am having a an issue similar to what you have described there. That will still need to be fixed, of course. But for now, maybe try saving on a different page?
saw that it was based in ireland and needed no other info, sounds phenomenal so far
Would it be possible to get a walkthrough? I don't care for "gameplay" in a VN, only the story. There's no indication or hint for what I should be doing to get with any of the girls, let alone an indication on if I can try to date the Phys-ed or Potion-making teacher.

Well, the journal may help but because my boss ghosted me for a month I'm a NEET so 10$ for a walkthrough's way too steep for my blood.
You have 2 kidneys, you can live with only 1.
Efrfrf34, kindly do a backflip off a bridge. I'm not selling a kidney for porn.
there is a URM 0x52 (Universal Ren'Py Mod) thing that will indicate what choices will do, its for the renpy games, its also a bit of a cheat, but will do the job, u can just ignore the orher stuff but "choices detected" menu (this looks like a renpy game if it isnt then gg)
crazy good game i finally placed first in the trial
can anyone help me with the lily route? when i first downloaded the game i was half asleep, and just so happened to get her first two events. recently, she hasnt showed up for me once and its driving me crazy
nevermind, figured it out, the crystal ball is my goat
How did you win?
Please give advice.
Increase your knowledge points to 70-80 and you will succeed.
Thank you man i needed that.

how to save on android, the keyboard can't disappear
Going through the intro again, it was just very funny for me to see the unfinished intro. for Elisabeth was funny
(image couldnt be sent
Hm? You mean the sketch artwork?
Yep
Well, I do plan on changing that to the completed version in the future... But for now it is either that, or nothing at all
i wish there was option to save at any time.
its hard to go back and try other options because there is no rollback, i have to do the whole event before i can save, and i forget to save in between classes

wishing for smooth sailing :p
what do i need to do to win the "trail of mind" ?
or at least second place.
Train skills (mostly mind related), but most importantly - experiment and see what each interaction with each door does and plan your route accordingly. With stats high enough, you can breeze through the trial. Without correct stats, it is still very winnable, but you need to know exactly what you are doing.
cause i split the time equally on each skill and i ended up with 30 points for each one, yet i couldnt pass the 6 door on the test.
You can get the first place with 30 in all stats if you do everything just right, but it will be tough. Second place should be very doable with your stats, but, again, you need to really know what to do. The first Trial should not generally be an easy thing to win for a jack of all trades character.

If you have that many points and you see something like "you should know about this" in the options, you will pass 90% door's.
Does this allow polygamy or is this a monogamous game?
You can date multiple girls at the same time, but there is no harem route at the moment.
I want pregnancy.
I can help you get pregnant if you want it so badly:/

That's exactly what is coming in the next Patreon update:)
sweet thanks! I also noticed you ignored my coding comment ;D
How do you activate it? I have already set config.console to True but i hit backtick and it doesn't open anything
