The Fool’s Apprentice PC Game 2025 Overview:
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…
(v1.0.7 Update added)
And perhaps even survive the researching process. Some may die, but oh well, can’t save them all! The Fool’s Apprentice is a magic school simulator that puts you in the position of Arcanist Tharn, a mage from a prestigious family by the same name. As this accomplished wizard, you will shepherd your many woefully unskilled apprentices towards a modicum of knowledge… by ensuring they cannot possibly step outside the bounds of proper curriculum.
Levitate them, toss them around, control their minds or wipe them, and even throw them into portals to other worlds! The good apprentices will survive, surely. As for the bad, what can a professor do? A new age dawns! Arcanoscience, and its related fields of mago-mechanical study, has been discovered, and as engineering marvels both profound in their spellcraft and ingenious in their design are constructed…
In The Fool’s Apprentice, it has come time for the next generation of apprentices. Strategize and construct the ideal Conservatory, choosing fields of magical study to focus upon, arcane workstations of varying risk, effect, and difficulty, and decorations both cosmetic and of eldritch power!
Features of The Fool’s Apprentice:
- Build Research, and use it to upgrade magical workstations or unlock new sciences!
- Earn the love of the public for the wonderous scientific advancements brought to the sun-kissed canal city of Golryon! But be careful, withholding every bit of magic from the public might lead them to riot!
- Respond to Dilemmas, as the choices you make for your Arcane Conservatory shape the future of mankind in this new age of magic & science!
- Kidnap citizens for experimentation.
- Enroll new apprentices under your tutelage, managing their skills, directing their studies with spells, and steering them away from an accidental demise!
- Plot the future of magic at the helm of your Conservatory, through the following tools:
- Manage & Cast Spells On each and every apprentice, directing them away from such foolish things as “ambition”, and “artistic passion,” towards the most socially acceptable magicks… or defy the Arcane Conservatory itself and spread magic among the people!
