Witch's Brew: Love and Lattes is a 426,000-word, entirely text-based interactive romance novel with no graphics or sound effects. You play a student at Peridot Pines University who has spent years hiding their magical powers. Now you have been accepted into the university and its secret society of magicians, the Hecate Society, and work as a barista at Witch’s Brew, the cafe where the society meets.

The cafe is struggling to stay open, while the new university chancellor suspects that magic is being used. You balance mundane and magical classes with serving customers, respond to specters appearing around campus and deal with spells gone wrong. When the chancellor grows suspicious, you can use persuasion, more magic or help from your friends to cover up what happened. You can also choose whether to keep magic secret or reveal it to the world, or at least to Peridot Pines University.

Your character and magic

You choose to play as male, female or nonbinary, and as gay, straight or bi. Your magical studies can focus on alchemy, divination, transmutation or elemental magic, with arcane secrets taught by your professors. You can bond with your childhood best friend or build relationships with college classmates.

Romance and friendships

You can pursue a romance with Rowan, a pierced, punk, red-headed elemental magician whose hard-to-control magic crackles with electricity and leaves a trail of daisies; Mel, an alchemist whose mother runs the cafe and who carries energy potions for late-night study sessions while coming up with ways to increase sales; or Tomi, a whimsical, funny journalism student with hazel eyes and a collection of academic-looking sweatervests. Tomi is non-magical, raising the question of whether you can keep your secret from someone becoming important to you.

Keep the cafe open

You decide how to help Witch’s Brew stay in business. Options include making potions to match customers’ moods, trying gimmicky sales, appealing to the university community or relying on excellent service.

Campus activities

You can explore mysterious ruins, spend a relaxing day at the beach and cheer for a team in an intramural game of Divination Dodge. You can also adopt a snarky cat as your familiar, though the cat may consider you its familiar instead.
