snowynightFreshman Magic: Spellbooks and Tangled Sheets is a male/male text based choose your romance game set in a magic university with dueling, murder mystery and five potential love interests. You play a gay freshman who has to secure his magical dueling full scholarship, balance his school life and social life and meet love interests from a wide spectrum. However, students are missing from the school and the player character can be the next victim if he isn't careful.
Gameplay wise I really enjoy it because of its good writing, lots of meaningful and clearly worded choices, and interesting potential love interests. When dueling, you can choose different magic style and tactics to win. You can decide what approach to tackle exams or assignments. You can choose to how hardworking your character is. The mystery isn't hard to solve but the tension is well depicted.
The romance aspect is good too. There are lovable jock, shy tutor, rich sexy librarian, mysterious senior and loyal best friend, which adds to the replayability. What I like most is that your character can choose to flirt and have casual sex with different guys before going steady (or not), or romance his prospective boyfriend by hanging out rather than hooking up.
I have really enjoyed the game and replayed it a lot of time for all the achievements. Definitely recommended to fellow text based m/m romance game lovers.
