Witchbrook gets magical new look
Witchbrook is often considered the Stardew Valley of magic this of course came from the fact that the company making Witchbrook used to publish Stardew Valley but the visuals of the game also used to be quite similar as well. Take a look at an older screenshot of Witchbrook – it was still called Spellbound back then.
The game has come a long way from its early development state to today. While there isn’t a release window yet, or any word on what platforms we might get to play the game on, development on Witchbrook is well underway as seen in the evolution of the visuals alone – and I can’t wait to get my hands on this magical game!
Witchbrook – Early development visuals The new screenshots as seen below demonstrate a much more colorful look as well as a slight camera change giving the game more of an isometric view similar to the original The Sims game.

The developers of Witchery Academy have released a new video showcasing their game!
Cubenary, the developers of Witchery Academy, have just released an all new video showing a little more gameplay for their upcoming magical indie game. The new video gives us a close look some of the activities that we will be able to partake in, like bug catching and planting seeds for our farm.
The new footage comes in the form of a Tweet from the developers. As of yet, this is how they have shared most of the info about their game. The Cubenary’ official site currently only shows information on the developers previous game, Fantasy Little Jobs, a VR game about doing odd jobs in a fantastical world. So it appears that the developers are being especially selective about what they share from their currently-in-development title.
What is Witchery Academy
Witchery Academy is a fantasy life role playing game where you must complete tasks in a school for witches and wizards. Learn all the ins and outs of the magical world; like potion making and mastering a wide array of spells.
You will also have to do some garden tending, to make sure your horticulture skills stay sharp. Plant, grow and harvest all sorts of delicious goodies right at school. You will have to leave the building and explore the surrounding area to meet other students, and do a little questing.
Witchery Academy has everything one would want in a cutesy title about learning the ways of magic. The cute and colorful graphics give the game a totally chill feel that I can’t wait to experience for myself.
The new footage of Witchery Academy was shared as part of an indie game promoting Tweet with a specific hashtag on Twitter, #PitchYaGame, where developers can share their work with the loving indie community.

Learn everything you need to know about being a proper witch or wizard in Witchery Academy.
Magic will always be a major focal point in the video game world. Everyone wants magical powers, and playing video games is basically the closest any of us will get. While the Harry Potter franchise seems to have the genre totally covered, every now and then we see a magical game that just instantly pulls our attention and keeps it there. Witchery Academy certainly looks cute enough to grab my attention, and theme is one that I am quite fond of.

Quick look at the exterior of the school. In Witchery Academy, you will also have a companion to take care of. The companion is of the feline persuasion, and you will be able to feed, play with, and (of course) pet your special little kitty. Bond closely with your companion, and you never know what great effects that might have on your day to day grind of magical schoolwork.
Not much has been shared by the developers, Cubenary, as the game is still in early development. Given what they have shared so far, I can already tell that Witchery Academia is one adorable, magical indie game to keep an eye.

Stardew Valley has clearly become one of the most popular Farming and Life simulation games since Harvest Moon. Serin Fate takes a fun new spin on the popular genre and even adds some Fantasy Life to it.
In Serin Fate you play as a Witch and therefore you are in possession of some magical powers. As you begin playing the game you will start learning new spells that can help you on your journey.

Farm, Craft and Explore!

In this game however, you can freely choose where you’d like to dedicate your focus and time towards to. Feel like crafting some new armor to protect yourself on your next adventure? or maybe instead build some furniture to restore your hut? The choice is always yours.
Enjoy some zen time
If you don’t feel like going on an adventure to try out your latest crafted items, you can also choose to sit back, relax and do some gardening work. Much like Harvest Moon, Serin Fate offers a huge variety of tasks that we come to love from games like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley and even Story of Seasons.
Explore the atmospheric world, collect materials by cutting down some trees or uncover some hidden gems spread throughout the world. Of course you can also cast your fishing rod in hopes to catch some of the many fish out there.
The options are endless which make Serin Fate a wonderful game on its own. It doesn’t try to be another game that already exists but only takes inspiration to create some very unique on its own.
Serin Fate is Available in Pre-Alpha Now!
Serin Fate is already available on Steam if you want to get your hands on this game today, you can! And yes, the developers are working towards a Mac and Nintendo Switch release as well.
