About Which Wizard?
Which Wizard takes what you love about social deduction games and adds exciting new layers of magic. Venture into a cursed castle with a party of up to 10 Wizards, only to discover that one (or more) of your so-called friends has been consumed by Evil. Can the Good Wizards identify the traitor trying to kill them all before it's too late?
You'll have to use all your cunning to discover the truth (or conceal it) with spells flying everywhere!
Portals give Evil Wizards a way to travel instantly across the castle and surprise their prey Summon everyone to banish a suspicious Wizard. Evil wins if it kills enough Good! Explore Dark Meadows Castle with its pockets of lore and charming characters like Meemo the sleepy dragon
Which Wizard is a love letter to the social deduction genre.
We love how online social deduction games can bring friends together near and far to communicate and solve mysteries together. We love when players create awesome drama, suspense, and sneaky plays. Our goal with Which Wizard is to take what we like about social deduction, reimagine some elements, and give players the tools to craft a personal strategy around new gameplay layers like subclass spells and map-wide ghost haunts.
We’re a small team that has been working hard to make something that we (and hopefully you) enjoy playing! Which Wizard began with a humble game jam shortly after the pandemic hit, and it gave us all a creative, communal outlet through hard times that followed. We hope that it brings you closer to new or old friends the same way it brought us together as a team! Nothing says "I care about you" like a little magic murder between friends.

The Magic
- Use Transfrogrify to disable other Wizards' spells (and killing power) by turning them into slow, hopping frogs
- Each Wizard gets a random subclass with a unique spell! Subclass doesn't care about alignment, so beware the Evil Healer who "just" wants to take care of you... alone... in a dark hallway… with no witnesses…
- Evil Wizards have access to secret magic like Who's Who, making everyone anonymous for 10 seconds so they can pull off tricky kills
- Ghosts haunt the castle! Dead Wizards who collect the most magic orbs get to choose a Haunt that affects all Wizards on the next round
The World
- Act fast: the castle's curse drains Health from Good Wizards every second
- Complete quests (mini-games) around the castle to gain Health
- Good Wizards can donate Health to repair the Magic Crystal. With enough donations, they'll cure the curse for an instant win
- Evil Wizards can use Health to cast blood magic and set off curses to confuse and interrupt their targets
The Features
- Adjust spell cooldowns, movement speed, vision radius, and many other rules to customize your game
- Full controller support lets you play your way!
- Connect to lobbies on worldwide servers
- Accuse each other of murder with in-game text chat
- Play with up to 10 people so you can betray more people in one go

As of right now, unless you have a group of friends who have the game and play it, you cant play. Click on Join Public room and there never is any. This seems like a good game and that It would be fun, but right now its unplayable.3 found this helpful
Game is dead as of now. Do not let the missing negative Reviews fool you. Been online a few times in the evenings, checking different zones: Not one public server found. EVER. Not more negative reviews due to a lock preventing posting reviews unless you spend at least half an hour online. Neat trick.3 found this helpful
Such a fun little game, you get to pet the dragon, commit crimes, deny children's wishes. Whats not to love?3 found this helpful
So fun!! Definitely like Among Us, in that you're trying to find the killer (evil wizard instead of impostor in this case), but with a lot of unique mechanics. Even the evil wizard gets tasks and abilities, so it's easier for someone new to the game to not totally give themselves away by not being able to name tasks, for instance. Also you are kinda forced to do tasks, because as a wizard you need to keep your mana up, so it encourages splitting up instead of grouping together, making it easier for chaos to reign. The magic abilities are also super fun, and love the ability to frogify others. With frogification, you actually have a shot against an evil killer wizard, since frogs can't perform killing spells! So if someone is sus, you can proactively frog them when they get near :3 And when you die and become a ghost, you're able to choose effects after the next meeting that impact the game - giving everyone a speed boost, for instance, or party mode. It makes it a more engaging to be ded. Was able to play in more the alpha/beta stage, and there's been so many new additions, and can't wait for even more to come during early access!! Easiest Steam purchase decision ever!3 found this helpful
This game is really fun! I had seen PlayFrame do a stream of this game which is a YouTube VoD on their other channel specifically for streams if you want to check that out. But earlier this week I invited a friend and played with a group on the Which Wizard discord and we had a magical blast of a time. [u]TL;DR for what the game is about[/u]: Basically it is a Among Us styled social deduction game you can play with up to 10 players with some adjustments and improvements based on that core formula, themed with magic & Wizards! [u]Main Part/Version of this Review[/u]: What's neat compared to Among Us, is that the wizards, both good and evil, have a magic meter where the good wizards have to fill that meter up by doing tasks and return the mana to the central big crystal. Meanwhile evil wizards can fill up this health/mana bar that enables them to create confusion by making all the mages look the same to each other with a black + purple character aesthetic for a moment or two, with trying to frame another and-or perhaps sneaking away. With this, good wizards mana bar deplete slowly but significantly over time, except the mana progress they submit to the group pool which can be se…1 found this helpful
A fun, charming take on social deduction that is an absolute riot to play with friends!
