About Install Wizard

You are just a simple Installation Wizard tasked with installing a new operating system, MythOS. However, the evil SorcerX virus has managed to corrupt MythOS and turn the programs against you! It is now up to you and your digital companion Pinny to restore the corrupted programs back to their old selves with your digital magic and defeat SorcerX once and for all.

As the Install Wizard, you will traverse programs like the image editor Easel, Webnav the web browser, and the Recycle Bin where dead files still roam. These programs will have many secrets to find to allow your spells to grow in power or acquire new spells altogether.

Do you have what it takes to defeat SorcerX and save your operating system?

My SECOND favorite wizard game on Steam!

Recommended May 5, 2024

Solid game, balanced, fun, and pretty well made. You cant ask for much more when its literally free.

Recommended Dec 4, 2023

Very cute, but not very long. Lacks a bit of polish but still a very fun idea, and a very fun experience.

Recommended Aug 18, 2023

Needs work, but it's a fun little adventure. I think it could just get a few updates and be incredible.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
