Cupid's Bargain

100% Love & Passion Guaranteed! 

(Or Your Soul Back)

THIS IS AN EARLY BUILD. THIS PROJECT IS STILL IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 

STORY, ART, AND OTHER ASSETS ARE NOT YET FINALIZED AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

A self-proclaimed matchmaker who has never experienced love summons a pair of demonic deities to spruce up her dying school extracurricular because, like, who really needs a soul anyway? Together, they will settle a toxic love affair disturbing her school life all while helping her understand love itself...

...and selling souls in the meantime.

Just another day at your all-girls Catholic high school!

Cupid's Bargain serves as a prequel to my 2023 game The Things You Do For Love!!, taking place about a year or so before Arielle "Ari" transfers schools for reasons unknown. 

You do not need to play the original game to enjoy this one, but… If you want more yandere shenanigans while playing as the yandere themself, go for it!
