Fight crime, be gaydo things the magical girl way!

Lock & Key: A Magical Girl Mystery is out now! After several years of development, you can finally follow the married pair of magical girls Sherri and Kealey on one last adventure before their powers fade away for good.

Sherri and Kealey Cohen, now a married couple in their late 20s, left the title of magical girls behind them over a decade ago. Now on the verge of losing their powers and entering a life of true normalcy, a string of unexplainable murders forces them to come out of retirement for one last adventure. Together with Nina, their old friend, and Ruby, a new protg, Sherri and Kealey will have to face a mystery connected both to their past and future. How will you guide your new protg? Will you be able to save the city from a killer, or will you lose it all?

Lock & Key: A Magical Girl Mystery features multiple ways the story can play out depending on player choices as well as a data viewer with expanded lore and character biographies. It has an original score composed by Sarah Mancuso (Please Be Happy; Upwards, Rain!) and character artwork by milkgrrl.

There's a demo available you can try before getting the full game!

Lock & Key is getting an art upgrade! The main artist, milkgrrl, is redoing some of the artwork to make it more stylized and expressive. Most of these artwork upgrades are finished and we've shown off some of them before on our Patreon and Discord server , so today we're compiling a lot of the new artwork into one post.
For reference, this is what the old character sprite art looks like in the current demo.

We also have some casual outfits for the girls!
And we also have some new screenshots with these sprites and an updated GUI!

This updated artwork will be available in a new demo coming out in around a month. It'll be the same as the current demo on here on Steam, just with updated visuals, so if you want to see more about the story & characters then go ahead and give it a try!

If you want to see more posts about Lock & Key, we have an entire collection of them on Patreon , including updates and process posts.

We're still planning on a Kickstarter for Lock & Key Kickstarter for the end of the year, which will allow us to offset some of the costs from production as well as give you the chance to get merch such as physical PC copies, keychains, etc. and some exclusives!
