Hero Hours Contract

Hero Hours Contract is about magical girls who protect their city from evildoers by day and fight to become unionised by night. You join the Union of Magical Girls, battle brainwashed zombie hordes and negotiate for better pay and employment benefits.

Tactical battles

Combat is turn-based. Your overwhelming power means enemies cannot hurt you, so you aim to defeat them quickly to earn higher rewards and bargaining power after each battle. Some enemies have abilities that hinder your attempts to achieve a perfect score.

Social connections

Between battles, you spend time and money on visual novel-style conversations with the inhabitants of the struggling convenience store where you and your family live and work. Building social links can power up your abilities. You can help the clerk find romance, try to draw out the NEET living in the storage cupboard, or spend money on gacha machines to impress a small child.

Union negotiations

After each battle, you lead the Union of Magical Girls in collective bargaining. Your reward depends on your performance and the number of gems you gathered. Better pay and employment benefits are among the terms you can negotiate with your magical familiars, who gave you your powers and expect you to fight evil for free.

The game uses dorky humour and 90s magical girl anime tropes.
