A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Trained in a cave. Driven by love. Now powerless.

In Arcane Expense, you play a devoted soul who ventures into a deadly magical maze, seeking the strength to propose to the one you love. But love alone won’t be enough—you'll need strategy, arcane mastery, and a lot of heart.

This is a turn-based battle game where:

  • You start with a single move and unlock new spells as you grow stronger
  • Each level challenges you with monsters, colors, and clever combat
  • You must plan attacks, switch targets, and master modifiers to escape

Do you have what it takes to propose like a hero?

Features

  • Turn-based tactical combat with spell and color mechanics  
  • 20 levels of increasingly weird and challenging enemies  
  • Unlock new spells based on your move count  
  • A bizarre and heartwarming love story  
  • A final boss that will suprise you
