Mahō no Shōjo: Silky Lip
Description
Mahō no Shōjo: Silky Lip is a Japanese-style adventure game with light RPG elements, structured like an animated TV series. Each of the 11 chapters consists of an opening sequence, two acts separated by a commercial break eyecatch, and ending credits. The game follows the adventures of the young girl Lip Ohtake, who secretly can transform into the magical girl hero Silky Lip.
The gameplay consists of three main modes. The main adventure mode allows the player to control Lip and explore the school and other locations from a top-down perspective; she can speak with other characters, investigate objects, and use or give items to solve simple puzzles. Conversations with other characters sometimes switch to conversation mode; in this mode, the player does not select specific things to say, but rather selects from a list of emotions such as "angry", "sad", or "happy" to determine each response, and these choices affect the characters' relationships and how each chapter plays out. Finally, certain events initiate battle mode, in which the player can command Lip to use various magic spells, attempt to speak with her opponent, or run from battle; these battle sequences have no lose condition, though the outcome can affect the progression of the story.
