About Mind Over Magic

✦ AI summary

Build and manage a magic academy by designing rooms, training mages, and raising magical beasts while preparing your students to survive the deadly Underschool below. Balance school operations, magical education, and exploration of a dangerous underground labyrinth filled with dark secrets and powerful enemies.

Mind Over Magic is a colony simulation game developed by Sparkypants and published by Klei Publishing.Build and optimize a magic school while keeping powerful mages alive and inspired. Prepare them to explore the horrors of the Underschool, a deadly subterranean gauntlet. Study lost arcana, grow exotic plants, brew potions, and raise undead servants. But don’t forget to stop the deadly fog from consuming everything in its path.

Conjure Your Own Magic School

Build the ultimate magic school, brick by brick. Design every room to fit your vision. Unlock new furniture, wallpaper, lighting, and decorations to personalize every detail. Experiment with layouts to discover hidden efficiency bonuses and create the perfect balance of design and function.

Explore the Deadly Underschool

Beneath your school lies a mysterious labyrinth filled with dark secrets, deadly magic, and ghastly creatures. The deeper you explore, the greater the rewards—but danger doesn’t always stay underground.

Raise Magical Beasts & Unlock Their Potential

Research and discover mystical beasts to serve your school and unlock powerful new resources. These creatures require food, affection, and magical care to grow into valuable allies, providing rare materials for crafting and construction.If you're truly ambitious, tackle the challenge of raising a dragon to aid your school. Dragons demand specialized students to become caretakers, but in return, they grant your mages the ability to embark on daring quests beyond the school walls—uncovering secrets, gaining unique powers, and shaping the future of your academy.

Let Magic Do the Heavy Lifting

Bend the arcane to your will. Practitioners of Dark magic animate undead helpers known as Quilted—specialized constructs that gather resources, tend to plants, repair damage to your school, and mine valuable materials.Make the most of your day by reducing travel time in your ever-growing campus with the power of flight. Strategically place broom racks to make traversal a breeze.

A Mage’s Growth is in Your Hands

Enhance your students abilities with powerful gear, such as potions, relics, and increasingly powerful wands, each granting distinct magical advantages. Customize their daily schedules and assign teachers to shape their magical growth.Magic isn’t just for combat—what your students learn and the tools they wield also determine how effectively they contribute to your school’s daily operations. Build a curriculum that fosters the ability to both survive and thrive.

Teach And Master Magic

Shape the future of magic by customizing your students' education. Apprenticed students can multiclass to wield a diverse array of spells, or strive towards single discipline mastery to unlock devastating ultimate abilities, powerful enough to face the dangers of the Nexus.Reality is tenuous in the Nexus, a fractured realm of pure magic deep beneath the school. Your mages will need every advantage to battle powerful enemies, reconstitute its crumbling fragments, and break the curse for good. Train wisely, for only the most skilled mages can withstand the challenges that await beyond the veil.

love the vibe but the actual gameplay is tedious and the interface is too fiddly. The gametype (building sim) is not my favorite so ymmv

I loved my time playing this game, but the middle towards the end just doesn't make much sense. You give someone a nice meal, nice bed, all of these things but they are STILL unhappy most of the time. It's like the more you give your people the less happy they are. It became a slog trying to keep people from being upset. I still loved the game overall so I am giving it a thumbs up.

I thought it was similar to like, Fallout shelter... it's how the marketing made it sound. But it was way more complex and I spent more time gathering than building. And building was excessive to manage on it's own... The tutorial was enough for me. I did try. But it's for sure better for people looking for that complexity. I would recommend it for them. I think I was expecting too much. should have looked at the reviews first...

I wish I could like this game. I honestly do. But that requires me to be able to actually play it. The game keeps freezing, completely. I'll play for about twenty minutes and then suddenly, without warning, everything is frozen. I can't do anything (Can't even submit a bug report), just hearing the game music play while everything sits there until I eventually just have to force close. I tried to fix the issue. I tried to make it work. I tried to adjust the settings and see if maybe my specs weren't good enough. My specs are perfectly fine. Nothing is overheating or going wild. The game just don't wanna game. And it sucks to see that the devs haven't even updated in over a year. I was most interested in trying out the combat aspect of the game and couldn't even get far enough to try. Disappointing. Guess the best I can do is just watch old Let's Plays of this.

Having fun. Evil Hogwarts. Complicated game; use AI Google search continuously to understand the game's paths and limits. e.g., "Mind Over Magic how do you get tier II wands?"
