You read and make choices in a cozy, magical college romance story, building relationships and uncovering secrets through text alone.

What players say

Players say the magic school setting feels underused - magic itself barely appears. The romance is rushed, the characters are shallow, and the story ends abruptly. Some find it a light read, others prefer the Keeper series instead.
