What players say

Players are divided. Many say the game focuses on modern political and social issues instead of a magical school experience, with forced pronouns and speciesism talk. Others enjoy the inclusive dating and a short, fun mystery. The writing is often called rushed and exposition-heavy, and the story skips over the wonder of learning magic.
