Lactomancer: The First Campaign invites players into a whimsical, milk-infused realm where novice sorcerers harness dairy-based magic to restore balance to a lactose-starved kingdom. As a fledgling "Lactomancer," you embark on a lighthearted quest to reignite ancient udder shrines while navigating quirky NPCs and dairy-themed puzzles. This bite-sized visual novel blends absurdist humor with earnest worldbuilding, teasing a larger saga beneath its creamy surface. Will your spells sour relationships or churn alliances? The frothy fate of Bovinia rests in your hands—for now.
