It’s back-to-school time again, but this time take your bags for a magical adventure on Whimel Academy! This cozy fantasy time management game comes to October 9, 2024 in Early Access on Steam.
Welcome to Whimel Academy
Retrieved from Whimel Academy, a famous school for witches, wizards and mages, you start a six-year journey together with your fellow students. After receiving your acceptance letter, you can begin exploring the campus through the tutorial. This introduces you to the school’s map, time management mechanics, scholarships and how to use your notebook as a guide. Meet your fellow students and develop friendships, or maybe even a romantic connection. The goal is simple: make the most of your time on campus!
Discover your vocation
Whimel Academy offers a wide range of skills you can develop, making for a customizable role-playing experience. You can choose from several starting stats such as knowledge, courage, persuasion or creativity. You can develop these stats through classes and hobbies. Attend potion classes to increase your creativity, follow Divination Fundamentals for more knowledge, or test your mettle in Flying 101. The higher your stats, the more advanced classes and dialogue options you can unlock. There are also study opportunities and side jobs that perfectly match your interests!
Weekend Activities
Outside of your studies and social life, there are additional gameplay elements to enrich your experience. Spend your weekends in the city where you can spend your earned money on a variety of items.
