The Curse of the Cherry Throne is a haunting legend that has been passed down for generations in a small, mysterious village located deep in the heart of a dense forest. The legend tells the story of a powerful cherry tree that once stood majestically in the center of the village, serving as a symbol of prosperity and harmony. According to the legend, any person who dared to sit on the cherry throne would be cursed with misfortune and tragedy. The curse is said to have originated centuries ago, when a wicked sorcerer cast a spell on the cherry tree out of vengeance. It is believed that the sorcerer was once a prominent member of the village, but after being driven out for his malevolent deeds, he sought revenge. With his dark magic, the sorcerer infused the cherry tree with a curse that would bring doom upon anyone who disturbs its tranquillity.
The fire is a cleansing energy. If I’ve processed a large quantity of plants and have a lot of stems, I won’t always take the time to make them into bundles, but instead fill a paper bag with the dried stems and save it for the next fire. When it is added to the flames, it tends to go up quickly and contributes an amazing scent to the smoke!

If you’ve been enjoying RPS’ Magic Week - our two-week endeavour to spotlight magical indies - you might enjoy the Trans Witches Are Witches bundle, which is unrelated to Magic Week, but has the same spirit. The bundle is a collection of 69 games, music, zines, and other creative oddities of the magical variety. Everything has been made by LGBTQ+ creators and all the proceeds will be split between the featured teams. So far, the bundle has passed a whopping $90,000 (or £74,000) in sales, with over a week left to go.

Do I Pass? is one of the featured visual novels that follows a trans woman with anxiety about whether or not she ‘passes’ as female. She’s soon able to transform into a ghost - the classic white sheets kind - to peek into others’ minds and find out what they’re thinking. Queer people have a different relationship with public spaces, and I’m excited to see a game tackle the subject.
SkateFPS is another bundled game that struck me. It’s a witchy shooter where you fight papercraft monsters with your ET-esque pointed finger and purple-painted nails. Alas, I can’t give you more info since the game’s description is in Spanish, and I only have a casual, Duolingo level of Spanish comprehension. In other words, no hablo español. There’s also a number of quirky gay dating sims, alongside other cool stuff that you might like.
The Trans Witches Are Witches bundle is available on itch.io for $60 until February 24th. There’s also a smaller $10 edition, and most of the games are available for individual purchase, too.

As a result, the once prosperous village has become a desolate place, terrified to go near the cherry tree, which now stands as a haunting reminder of the village's tragic past. There have been many attempts over the years to break the curse, but all have failed. It is said that the only way to lift the curse is to find a way to appease the vengeful spirit of the sorcerer. Some believe that an ancient ritual, involving a rare combination of herbs and offerings, could possibly free the village from the curse's wrath. Others think that only a descendant of the sorcerer himself has the power to break the curse. Despite the fear and tragedy surrounding the cherry throne, there are still those who are drawn to the mystery and allure of the legend. Adventurers and thrill-seekers from far and wide visit the village, hoping to test their luck and defy the curse. However, most leave the village with heavy hearts and their lives forever changed. The Curse of the Cherry Throne serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of hubris and the danger of tampering with forces beyond our control. It reminds us that some curses cannot be broken, and that the price for power and revenge can be higher than we can ever imagine..
