Arcane Shop is a Ren'Py dating sim by Ronci14, rendered with 2D CG art. You now play as a protagonist who operates a magical shop in a back alley and works alongside four furry companions. A wolf mercenary, a bear wizard, a tiger knight, and a dragon shaman accompany the protagonist as the story moves through a fantasy world, mixing romance choices with adult themes.
The game is still being updated, not a finished release. The current v19.1.0g build was released August 23, 2026 for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. It is uncensored and available in English, Korean, and Japanese for Chapters 1 through 3. The latest changelog entry, v19.1.0, added Gahel Chapter 7 and a bad ending for that chapter.

DerHerr!2025-01-12★★★★★
Characters and dialog are generally well written, with high quality visuals. It lacks very much in choice and player autonomy however. It can be a 10/10, but it needs more depth and breadth, more choices and outcomes.
Crosantine2025-01-11★★★★★
The initial choice presented is relatively flexible. However, as the narrative progresses, the scenario becomes increasingly imposed, regardless of the player's decision to decline the scene. This game has diminished the aspect of consent.
