EnglishHow much do npckc's games cost on itch.io?
Updated
Most npckc games on itch.io are free to play, while a handful of paid titles are listed at fixed prices ranging from $2.99 to $9.99. The page shows prices for five items: A YEAR OF SPRINGS Fan Pack at $3.99, TRUE LOVE'S CURSE at $3, A TAVERN BEFORE TEA at $2.99, A TAVERN FOR TEA at $2.99, Marron's Day at $9.99, and snack machine change at $2.99. Everything else listed on the page appears without a price, and several of those entries are marked "Play in browser" or "Run in browser."
Paid titles and their listed prices
| Title | Listed price | Format noted on page |
|---|---|---|
| Marron's Day | $9.99 | Adventure for Game Boy and PC |
| A YEAR OF SPRINGS Fan Pack | $3.99 | Fan pack for the visual novel trilogy |
| TRUE LOVE'S CURSE | $3 | Fantasy curse-casting simulator & visual novel |
| A TAVERN BEFORE TEA | $2.99 | Prologue comic for A TAVERN FOR TEA |
| A TAVERN FOR TEA | $2.99 | Fantasy visual novel & tea-making simulator |
| snack machine change | $2.99 | Visual novel |
These are the only prices shown in the page content. The page does not state whether any paid title has a demo, a pay-what-you-want option, or a sale price, so treat the figures above as the listed amounts at the time the page was captured.
Free and browser-playable titles
The page lists many works with no price attached. Several carry a "Play in browser" or "Run in browser" label, which indicates you can start them without downloading:
- past-a-pile — a print-and-play falling block game
- you do not know why but you long to mine — a little roguelike mining story
- The Servers Are Shutting Down in 24 Hours but My Pull Rate's Been Set to 0.0001%?! — a gacha end-of-service simulation
- Random Genre Masher — for when you can't think of a genre for your next game
- DOCTORvsVIRUS — a card game
- Megane Breaker - Training! — a block breaker game
- Dress Up Template for Ren'Py — make a dress-up minigame in Ren'Py
- mew's under the truck — thoughts on gaming rumours of the past
- gb pixel art: reading adventure — a Game Boy-compatible background
- you are dough — become bread
- stuck in the airport — you are stranded after your flight is cancelled
- wednesday night (you put on your mask and step outside)
- ghostfriend — help your ghost friend leave this realm
The page does not label these as free in so many words; it simply shows no price. On itch.io, a listing without a price is normally playable at no cost, but if a specific title matters to you, open its page and confirm before relying on it.
Other ways the page asks for support
The page points to three external channels rather than adding prices to the free titles:
- Patreon — described as giving secret posts, a monthly digital postcard, and early access to games
- Newsletter — an email when a new game is released
- Shop — physical comics and merch
None of these are required to play the unpriced browser games. They are optional support and early-access routes.
What to check before buying
- Open the individual title page from the npckc collection, since the collection view only shows the base price.
- Confirm the platform: Marron's Day is noted for Game Boy and PC, while the visual novels and interactive fiction are typically browser-playable.
- Check whether the item is a game or a companion piece — A TAVERN BEFORE TEA is a prologue comic, and the A YEAR OF SPRINGS Fan Pack is a fan pack, not the trilogy itself.
- If price is the deciding factor, start with the unpriced browser titles; the paid list is short enough to review in one pass.
The page does not mention refunds, regional pricing, or currency conversion, so those details would need to come from itch.io's own checkout flow.
