On his unyielding quest for employment, the protagonist picks up an odd job request at the townsboard from the local alchemist.

A straightforward, adult kinetic novel made with Ren'Py and a version of Skyrim SE, which I modded for the creation of novels such as this one.
The game is not necessarily set in the world of The Elder Scrolls, so having played Skyrim is not required to understand the plot.
It features a few choices for dialogue variety but they do not alter the overall story, hence the kinetic novel tag.

It's primarily intended to be a one-shot story about the two main characters, with female x male content and some light humor and romance elements. A modlist is attached as a .txt file in the /game folder if you're interested.

The overall content is 804 images, 23 animations and ~18000 words.

I have a Patreon if you really liked the game, but any interest or comment is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for checking my game out. If you like it or have feedback, let me know.

I loved this! Great story and really hot animations. Can't wait to see more!

You did great work on this. I''ve mentioned your content to a few of my fellow pervs. Keep at it, homie.

Thanks a lot! I'm happy you liked it and I hope your friends like it too.

Cute lighthearted story. Aren't the characters face kindda long though? I mean the nose seem "too"long and because of that the mouth is "too" low. The girl's chin also seem "too" thin. Feels a bit weird to me, but then personal tastes and all i assume...

Hey, thank you for your comment! I can see your point about the faces. I am trying to improve on the character creation, but some will probably always have their own "unique" look.

It's fine though, gives them a bit of a cartoonish style, but i knew a girl that kindda looked like that in real life. Overall you're doing good.

Just finished the game. It was a very intense set of scenes that played well into the story line. The ending was surprisingly perfectly timed for this story. 4 thumbs up, 5 stars and an oscar for this one. 

I see the possibilities of these characters crossing over in other games. You should definitely consider this option. But this story ended just right as it is.

Thank you so much! I'll definitely consider having some characters crossover in future novels if they fit in.
