Hi everyone,

We’re happy to share a new Steam update with you finally.

Over the past months, we’ve been working on many parts of the game behind the scenes, from new areas and characters to gameplay systems, UI improvements, and world details.

There’s a lot we want to show of what we've been working on over the past year. This update will be split into several parts. This is only Part 1; more updates and reveals are coming soon as we continue sharing what’s been added to the game.

📖 The Library 📖

The Academy Library is built as a giant maze-like structure, filled with layered corridors, towering bookshelves, hidden reading halls, and staircases that lead to unexpected passages suspended high above the lower floors.Steam post image

Different routes connect to study rooms, archives, classrooms, restricted sections, and forgotten corners of the Academy. We wanted the library to feel mysterious and slightly disorienting, like a place that has grown and changed over centuries of magical use.

Strange things happen between the rooms of the library.

The library is not just a place to read books. It is one of the central gameplay spaces in the academy, combining exploration, social interactions, quests, classes, and magical events in a single, connected environment.

👻Unexpected Events👻

We’ve also continued expanding the “Unexpected Events” system.

Unexpected Events are magical anomalies that can appear dynamically throughout the academy and temporarily alter areas by introducing unique objectives, creatures, threats, and rewards.

Here is an example of an unexpected event.

Floating, squid-like creatures are invading a section of the library, tinting the walls, floors, and furniture with ink.

The affected rooms become corrupted by magical residue, creating unstable zones that apprentices have to navigate carefully.

You, as an apprentice, will have the chance to contain the situation with spells, avoiding the squids and the ink.

We designed these events to make the academy feel alive and unpredictable. A regular visit to the library can suddenly become a magical cleanup operation full of environmental changes and hostile magical creatures.
