Inspired by the likes of You Throw Like a Girl and How to be Popular, Secrets of Charlton School is a small town interactive fiction game that casts you into the world of body swapping, transformation, corruption, hypnosis and magic.

You play a recent newcomer to the sleepy town of Charlton. When your sister appears to be struggling at school, you are tasked with getting to the bottom of what’s really happening to her, and finding a way to stop it. How you do this, and what you become because of your actions, is entirely up to you.

It’s a text-heavy adventure, with illustrative images of the town and its inhabitants peppered throughout. Full day and night system, quest log, inventory and spells, NPCs with their own schedules and motivations, and above all multiple ways to approach all the problems, based on how you want to play.

In terms of the adult content, it features mind control, corruption, m2f transformations, as well as different content for submissive, assertive, greedy and selfless playthroughs. It’s X-rated for content. There’s some sex scenes, but not every passage.

Updates will come when time allows - definitely a homemade passion project. For this reason, there won’t be a patron link set-up. If you really like it, you can give me a donation amount of your choice on my itch.io page.

Any bugs, typos or discussion, please direct to the thread on the TFGamessite website. I’ll be the most active there. I’ll also keep the high-level roadmap there too.

Please note - Reactivity to end-game transformation is limited in current build, so character reactions will break at this point. Also some people are getting a Wacatac trojan warning on the download. I've run a scan with Avast and nothing is coming up, Windows Defender is documented as getting a false positive on this one, but there's the online version there for those concerned.

Mitch Phillips has recently moved to the sleepy town of Charlton away from the big city, after his parents decided a quiet life was for them. What he didn’t realise was that not three weeks after moving, they would set out to Italy for an extended vacation. They left him to look after his eighteen-year-old sister, Emily, who was struggling with leaving her old life behind herself.

All he has to do is get Emily through her final year at school and make sure she gets the grades she needs to go to University. Then she'll move out and he'll be free. But Emily is struggling with her grades and her new school has some traditional views about what it expects from its students.

Faced with the prospect of failing her exam, Emily comes up with a novel solution. One that may help her pass her maths exam with ease, but may cost Mitch his very life.

Mitch - The protagonist. A twenty-five year old software developer who recently moved from the city to the small town of Charlton after his parents decided to relocate. He is balancing keeping his job, looking after his sister, and keeping his relationship going.

Emily - Mitch's eighteen year old sister. Back in the city she was top of her class, but now she's struggling to pass her maths exam. If she fails, it means she may need to repeat the last year of school, and Mitch will have to stay in Charlton another year.

Plus! A whole town full of characters, including bar owners, restaurant maids, school teachers, angry bosses, and more.
