About

Love: Spice! is an otome/dating sim game created in two weeks for My First Game Jam: Summer 2023.

In a world where everybody (yes, everybody) is some kind of spice, a regular black pepper, weighed down by the mundanities of life, engages in an interesting hobby to destress: people -- no, spice watching. In a completely respectful manner, of course. It's always cathartic to see hot men just existing. But at some point, these men have begun to take an interest in our unassuming little black pepper! And maybe, just maybe, it'll develop into something more...
