About Freshman Magic: Spellbooks and Tangled Sheets

Duel wizards, cast spells, find true love, and keep your academic scholarship, all while investigating the mysterious disappearances plaguing your campus!

Freshman Magic: Spellbooks and Tangled Sheets is a 263,000-word interactive gay romance novel by Raven de Hart. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

A magical dueling scholarship won you a spot at the prestigious Briarthorn University, one of the top magic colleges in North America. You expected a hard workload and even harder dueling practice sessions…you weren't expecting your classmates to be so distracting!

You'll have your pick when it comes to romance: Caleb's a redheaded jock in the dueling club with you. Halim is a sexy rich boy, an enchantment major who works in the college library; Raimundo is a shy, nerdy tutor, but you can read between the lines, and Alistair carries an air of mystery around him you find very intriguing. With all magical energy and romance floating around campus, you're even seeing your best friend, Noel, in a slightly different light….

But everything is not as it seems at Briarthorn. When students start disappearing from campus, it will be up to you to figure out what happened to them, who will be next, and can this malevolence be stopped?
  • Choose a magical subject to major in: alchemy, enchantment, magical theory, summoning demons, or combat magic
  • Stay on the straight and narrow on the dueling pitch, or catch opponents off-guard with dirty tactics
  • Decide exactly how far to go with a cast of lovers
  • It's college! Party hard with your magical peers, or keep a low profile
  • Study diligently in the library, or slip into the back room with the sexy librarian
  • Find the best hookup spots on campus
  • Relax with a friend to wind down after a tough practice — or heat things up in the shower instead
  • Lose your heart to your chosen lover, but don't lose your life as your classmates vanish around you!

Excuse me... Where exactly is this college located in Tennessee? Not one, not even two, but ALL FIVE GUYS have the hots for you?! AND this is all happening WHILE you just started college?! (Yeah okay I know the real answer... Potion of magnetism. XD. It just... Had to be!) Since this game had a murder mystery: I obviously went for COMBAT mastery. It was unnecessary... V.V Because that... I am going to call it weird... CHOICE messed everything up! "Low-key hedonism" isn't flirting apparently! Good to know! Restarting did wonders and I couldn't choose a guy so I went/did all four of them. Sorry BEST FRIEND, but all you guys do is swear and flip one another off. You two don't give me ANY chemistry together. PAH! Four guys in... And I only liked two. One because he was mysterious... And a certain someone FORGOT to ask him about said "mystery"... COUGH... And the other one was Halim. I knew a Halim as a courtesan in another game, so this game reminded me of him. Halim is a sweetie. Yes. The answer is yes. It's fine to "sample all" and pick just one. :> Remember when I said that it isn't really a major thing to do Combat? It really isn't... I picked Enc…

TLDR... Romance options are plain and forgettable with very little depth MC has a set personality which may or may not work for you, it did not for me Much of the story's potential is wasted, barely branches Writing style isn't all that, needs to be trimmed down 1. The Romance Options They're not that good. Perhaps only halfway through the game, around chapter six out of twelve, do you actually get to know a bit more than the surface-level details about the characters. But you've already been made into thinking some of them are hot before then, and for what? because of the color of their hair or their supposedly good ass? I guess that might just be what you have to choose from when these characters are so Nothing. I wrote above that you finally get to know a bit more on the ROs halfway through, and it really is only a bit more. Even with these scenes, these characters are still so Plain, indistinct, and underdeveloped. Pick the stereotype you're most into, that's it. Unexciting and dull romances happen in a lot of Heart's Choice games due to a low word count and focus on story branches instead of the characters, but most games with such problem have less than 180,000 words in t…

I was in the mood for learning some magic and romancing cute guys, so I decided to play this game and I wasn't disappointed. I really liked magic lessons and battles and the whole college life was fun. I was afraid we won't have enough time to get to know all the characters, but that wasn't the case. I found all the romanceable characters quite different but interesting and charming in their own way, so it was hard not to flirt with all of them. I romanced Noel and Alistair so far (but I'll definitely try out other routes as well), and their romances were everything I wanted. There were funny and heartfelt moments and the spicy scenes were well-written. The main plot mystery is easy to figure out, but I feel like it's intentional. I kind of wish it was longer, but still it's a good story with lovable characters and I recommend it to everyone who likes m/m romance and magic.

I'm so sorry but the writing ... just sucks. Like I seriously felt like I was on wattpad... In all honesty I didn't even finish the story bc the writing is seriously throwing me off ... I love interactive fiction especially when one of the main elements is romance but this one is actually not worth it :/

This game is perfect for homosexuals<3 I might hate real men but at least fictional men are usually amazing!
