Now this is a type of game I'd never thought I'd play. It's an Otome, a visual novel where you get to pick which hunky boy you want to romance. In this case you play as a bratty princess who is cursed so no one remembers who she is, with the exception of other cursed victims. All of the characters are based off of a classic fairy tale character, in a Once Upon a Time sort of way. In all there are five different men you can make out with, but some of the options are... not great. Your initial choices are the cringy Casanova type, a holier-than-thou narcissist, or your step-brother; and your step-brother is honestly the best of the three. The story is actually pretty fleshed out, especially for the two unlockable characters, but you do end up playing it start to finish five different times, once for each dude, which can get repetitive. Given that the romance is the big draw to this game, it's unfortunate that I just don't believe she'd ever fall for some of these suitors, however this game is pretty well done, and most importantly free, so I would recommend giving it a look.
