Cast spells, enlist the aid of the spirit world, and earn the respect—or rebuke—of a secret society as a first-year magical studies major with a chequered past in this dark academia game of horror, crime, and intrigue!

Witchcraft U is an interactive novel by Jei D. Marcade. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Attend a school close to home, they said. You can do your laundry for free on the weekends, they said.

You're a fresh-faced new student at Larkspur University, where witches and mundanes maintain an uneasy balance while shadow organizations vie for control over spheres of influence that extend far beyond the outer reaches of campus. But you have your own share of secrets: namely, your family's dealings in the underworld of metaphysical crime—and just when you think you're out, they pull you back in.

Now, not only are you fending off your family's constant tugging at the apron strings, but you're dealing with diabolical conspiracies, paranormal weirdness at your part-time job, and new friends who won't stop getting in over their heads with supernatural forces beyond your mortal ken. And oh, don't forget, you're here on scholarship, so if you let anything distract you from keeping up your grades, you can kiss your academic career goodbye.
