SEATTLE, WA, 28 March 2024 | Indie developer Impossible Home is gearing up early for spooky season! Whimel Academy, a cozy fantasy time manager, will be released on PC later this year. 

Welcome to Whimel Academy

Whimel Academy is a slow-paced time manager set at a prestigious school for budding mages. Step into the shoes of a new student embarking on a six-year journey filled with magical adventures, academic challenges, and heartfelt friendships. As a student at Whimel Academy, players can choose their path, manage their schedule and inventory, and interact with a diverse cast of characters. Whimel Academy’s casual fantasy setting and approachable mechanics make this a title everyone can enjoy.

A World Awaits

Through Whimel Academy’s first-person perspective, players spend their days attending classes, visiting local shops, and socializing with the other students. Choose your niche from courses like Herbology, Astronomy, Divination, and Magical Theory, and tailor your schedule to match your interests. Outside the classroom, put your education to work through part-time jobs or crafting, stroll through the gardens for a relaxing retreat, or cozy up in the dorm with a new book and your furry feline companion. Each task at Whimel Academy boosts a player’s attributes, contributing to your physical, emotional, mental, and magical well-being. Prioritizing your health and happiness is the key to success at Whimel Academy!

Interact with these students to increase your friendship level, creating more opportunities for meaningful conversation. Lifelong friendships and youthful romance are waiting to be discovered at Whimel Academy!
