Developed by The Planar Danse as the latest entry in their fantastical universe, The Fool's Apprentice sees players assume the role of a prestigious Arcanist in charge of their very own magic school. Create a curriculum, research long-forgotten powers, and sacrifice (just some of) your students all in the name of the arcane sciences!
Watch The Fool's Apprentice release date trailer:
The fate of the city of Golyron relies upon you and it's up to you how you appeal to the people. Garner the love and appreciation of its citizens as you bring magic to the chaff peasantry, or keep the magic within your academy's walls and risk riots, or worse, the loss of tenure!
Along the way, you'll make key narrative decisions, grand discoveries, and cast a few spells on your apprentices; including levitation, mind control, and disintegration. Be a morally questionable leader or a benevolent spell-slinger, the choice and the direction of the academy is up to you.
Key Features of The Fool's Apprentice:
-
Spell-Slinging Studies: Educate hapless apprentices by directing their studies, managing their magical skills, and using them, in turn, to research new arcane sciences!
-
Designs and Dilemmas: Make your academy truly yours through cosmetic and eldritch decorations, workstation upgrades, and by solving narrative Dilemmas. Each will react to your choices and shape the future of magic!
-
Can You Meet Golryon's Demands?: Your background does not make you immune from the demands of the city's ruling class or its spell-less paupers. You'll need to fend off (or fulfill) requests for resources, such as choosing guilds to side with, being forced to take a nobleman's inept child, or managing for which side in a war to craft magical weapons!
-
Magic for All! (Or Just a Privileged Few): Captivate the citizens of Golryon by bringing the arcane sciences to the people. Or, run the risk of riot by keeping it all to yourself.
The Fool's Apprentice will be released on PC via Steam on April 14th.
