How to Wizard
A downloadable game for Windows
Concept
A VR puzzle game centred on combining spell components to create custom and unique magic spells to solve entertaining puzzles and evoke satisfying eureka moments.
Story
In a world where magic rules supreme, almighty wizards dominate, enslaving those without powerful, magical abilities. However, one enslaved alchemist has discovered a potion that can grant ultimate power and therefore, an escape from slavery. One issue stands: the recipe demands the skull of a grand wizard. These can only be found in the depths of tombs, guarded by gauntlets of puzzles. While undoubtedly challenging, the potential of finding artefacts to increase power exists. Perhaps, on the quest for freedom, an alchemist may also learn how to be a wizard...
