During the game, you can explore the twisted halls of a magic school. Harry Potter vibes @ Sky :eyes2:

You must use timing mechanics to power your spells while also managing to block attacks. The game is said to have challenging monsters and bosses, and dark secrets that are never meant to be found :sneaky:

More features:
  • A heartwarming and twist-filled story about friendship, trust, love and loss
  • 3 students in battle, from a total of 6, each with unique powers and strengths

It looks cute and quirky. A bit more graphically simple than I was expecting from the cover art, but the gameplay looks solid enough. Certainly seems like it’s complex too with all those spells and enemy types.
 
It gives me vibes from the Alphadream Mario spin-off series, looks like it might be fun!

Definite EarthBound vibes during the walking scenes. The art style also reminds me of Fairune.

I love magic, spells, and girls, so this game seems like one I would really like. :D Collecting stuff is also really fun.

...Wait, no MP??? HELL YEAH!!
 
Did I just read @BlueJ Stephen Universe's composer in the desc?

I wish with a game that is timing based it would have higher resolution/more detailed graphics. That might be a big let down if I always get the timing wrong when attacking or defending. I like the overworld though. I doubt the story has the depth I would want but I could be mistaken.

What I just said. It's in Marc's expanded features description that I can't quote. Do you like the music of Stephen Universe? Did you like Stronger Than You? (we can talk about it in a PM if it gets off topic) :P
