Save 10% on The Fool's Apprentice on Steam
store.steampowered.com
A wizard academy management sim where you—an obviously benevolent professor—must manage & cast spells on your many apprentices so that they might study the right spells… and perhaps even survive the researching process. Some may die, but oh well, can’t save them all!

    Ouch. The reviews got a lot worse. Game not explaining things well, inability to pause combined with text-heavy, no save button or information on what saves… also drama over how devs receive criticism that I did not actually investigate to see if they actually cannot take criticism and just silence dissent, or not.

    Magic? Check. School sim? Check. Management game? Check. Probably villain protagonist? Check. Unusual perspective (not so often you play as a professor/teacher)? Check. Definitely have to check this out, it’s pushing like all my buttons.

    Also a lot of the reviews call it cozy for some reason. That is yet another button of mine to push, especially if it still has good gameplay.

      Surprised the reviews call it cozy. I saw a brief let’s play by a content creator and it didn’t seem all to cozy.

      Do let’s us know how it goes if you decide to try it out.
