# Love in the Time of Spellphage > A one-hour spellpunk narrative adventure game about pandemic, wizards, and first love. Lauren is a conjuration junior at Crowstone Wizard's University who is bored and alone in the early weeks of pandemic lockdown. Unsure of what to do with her career after graduation, she faces a decision that will change the course of her life. Help to guide her through two days of isolation that could alter history itself — or not, if she doesn't feel like it. Explore the neighbourhood of Crowhurst, a tabletop-roleplaying-inspired world of elves, goblins, and magic in its late 1980s. When the Spellphage begins under mysterious circumstances, causing those who are infected to lose their ability to use magic forever, Lauren must choose whether to retreat into comfortable hobbies or to do what she can to uncover the mysteries of her world. With its branching and dynamic narrative structure, there are no wrong choices, but no two playthroughs will be exactly alike! Unlock three distinct endings with vastly different outcomes for Lauren! Chat with your bestie on a vintage computer! Enjoy a varied soundtrack inspired by the indie rock and electronic music of the late 80s and early 90s! Collect and listen to four unlockable mixtapes made by your friends! Pet a cat! Paint happy little clouds! Practice anti-racism! Manage your emotional energy! Eat potatoes! Doomscroll! Buy pipe-weed from a goblin! And then smoke it! Kick back and read light novels! Learn some wizard science! Maybe smooch a wizard if you play your cards right! Content Warnings Despite its serious subject matter, Spellphage is a lighthearted and cozy game. However, it is intended for adult audiences, and contains scenes that deal earnestly with topics such as racism, disability, transphobia, addiction, parental neglect, and pandemic.
