It sure feels like a girl can't reach into her closet for the old wizard school robe and hat without finding several skeletons hiding in there too. I really thought I'd never find a fun wizarding school game to play that doesn't come with a boot full of baggage. Silly of me to have not heard of Songs of Glimmerwick before now, but lucky me that this actually-uplifting witch school life sim launched its first playable demo the day I learned of it.
In Glimmerwick, I'm a brand new student at the magical Etchery university. I'm quickly assigned to be caretaker of the school gardens, where I can grow ingredients for potions and learn to play a flute to cast magical spells that help me traverse the world or just do heavy lifting with my hoe. It's a storybook-looking sort of place with a pseudo 2D art style that reminds me of things like Mirthwood and Wildermyth.
