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?
Build the future of magic, today!
Game Features
- Discover New Magic… – Plot the future of magic at the helm of your Conservatory, through the following tools: Enroll new apprentices under your tutelage, managing their skills, directing their studies with spells, and steering them away from an accidental demise! Build Research, and use it to upgrade magical workstations or unlock new sciences! 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. 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!
- Plan Your Conservatory – 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… it has come time for the next generation of apprentices. One wizened Arcanist shall teach them… You! 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! 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! Decorate and customize your own Arcane Conservatory in this wizard academy Simulator! Engage in the Narrative-driven ebb and flow of the demands of the magocratic city of Golryon. One day the Conservatory might request increased production of elemental cannons; and on the next the Duke might demand that you teach magic to a distant cousin! Try not to be imprisoned for criminal arcane malpractice.
- The Planar Danse – The Fool’s Apprentice returns to The Planar Danse once again, the connected universe of Apollyon, Skulltide, and Spirit’s Almanac, the previous games and novel set within the same world. It is endlessly replayable, but all unlocks can be unlocked in ~8 hours of play.
