Multiple difficulty modes, including Story for players who aren't interested in puzzle gameplay. A range of accessibility options, including screen-reader support for story mode. 

Press reviews: “[The] game with the distinction of having the most attractive artwork of any game I played at SIX this year. I discovered the world of the game, which takes place in a school of magic full to the brim with sexy and exuberant people. You’re able to romance whoever you want, but don’t expect these relationships to be one note.” Hey Poor Player “[Heartspell] is an unmatched visual novel in terms of design and inclusivity.” Game Raven Review 

Notes: Heartspell contains non-explicit descriptions of sexual activity.
