Whimel Academy

I loved Whimel Academy. For the amount of content you get, you really can't beat the price. I loved customizing my character, decorating the dorm, having a familiar, managing my skills, getting to know everyone, and slowly uncovering the story. The characters were one of my favorite parts, and I especially loved that your relationships actually get a little payoff at the end with special letters depending on how close you became. It's the perfect casual game if you want some dress-up, a little story, some light skill management, and a magical atmosphere without anything becoming too complicated. Cute, charming, and well worth the price.

Pretty, gentle, cosy, but ultimately unfullfiling. This game is so chill, as far as I can tell you can't really 'lose'. Nothing dreadful happens if you slack off. You can make friends, indulge in hobbies, do a parttime job, or even attend class. You can decorate your room, your cat, and yourself. (And decorative items stay unlocked for future playthroughs, so you only need to earn/buy them once). This is the perfect game if you just want to chill out for a bit, and get hooked into a fun little gameplay loop. It's just... it needed MORE. Some kind of story. Or events. Or SOMETHING. The closest it gets is the NPCs you can befriend/romance. They all have stories, some of which are mildly compelling. But I played through once for the 'hermit' ending, not speaking to anyone, and there wasn't really much difference. If you become friends, they'll send you a letter after graduation. If you dated them, the letter will probably address you as 'my love' or similar. While you can achieve 30 endings, there's no graphic or cut-scene, you just click a crystal ball, it tells you all the endings you qualified for, and you can read the text that tells you what it was. It's not bad just... fel…

I was looking for a witch academy game to scratch my itch and I found this recommended and surprise, surprise! I absolutely loved it! The art is super stunning! Characters are engaging and interesting. Gameplay is surprisingly strategic. I loved all the different classes you could choose to go to. It really felt like you can go into the game and create your own character in your head about what kind of witch you would be and develop those skills and interests in the game. The game even rewards you for specializing with unique outfit pieces, which really sells the idea. The game is meant to be about time management which I never was really good at in real life lmao and I had that same problem here. It takes a long long time to build any kind of friendship/romance with one NPC and if you're not focusing on them, you're divided between classes and self-sustenance (eating and earning money.) Overall, I found it to be a tad imbalanced. Felt like there was only two kinds of playthroughs: 1. Good student and 100% achievement by going to every single class, no distractions or 2. Okay student with lots of friends and maybe S/O by going to classes you like and spending the rest of your t…

I wasn't too sure about this game but I was proven wrong immediately. The atmosphere and art are sweet and whimsical, I love different skills and activities, this game just feels like it was made for me. My main concern is how the relationship events (the only way to see the classmates) slows down a bit too much for periods of time and the romance arc ends at a confession. But for one person and 10 bucks, pretty good game.

Fantastic game! It went above and beyond what I imagined. Immensely cozy and satisfying. Highly, highly recommend.

This game is pretty good
