We're really excited to be part of the turn based festival this year - as the battle system is something we're really proud of! I even made a video talking about it and the new quick cast system here: [previewyoutube=2ow6LVkhNsY;full][/previewyoutube] I think the Stardander battle system offers something new and fun, even for turn-based veterans! There's strategy involved in being able to cast multiple spells per turn, while knowing who the enemy is going to attack beforehand. And the fact that only a few of the spells are direct damage dealing spells pushes players to get creative and use everything at their disposal to win. You can read more about the battle system update and more here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1733050/announcements/detail/3469488996650784384 We will also be live streaming a team playthrough of the game tomorrow at 2PM EST! https://steamcommunity.com/games/1733050/announcements/detail/3497637038443371261 Drop in if you want to see the developers talk about the game and ask us questions live! Hope to see you there!

Protagonists
- Callie is frilly, pampered, and thinks magic is for common folk. Why in the nine realms does she end up at Stardander?!
- Freya is the deathly prankster who might see ghosts, but is the sweetest of cinnamon buns.
- Rory is the overachiever who tries to do what is right but is overshadowed by a notorious family.
- Mira is the feisty Fae-touched fighter who doesn't quite understand how to be human (yet).
Your time at Stardander will be full of surprising discoveries, strategic battles against many fae creatures, late-night study sessions, and not a few delightful pranks at your least-favorite teacher’s expense. Breaking a few school rules is to be expected, but try not to get yourself into detention in the pitch-black (and probably haunted) dungeons!
Features
- Play as four complex main characters, each with their own reasons for learning magic.
- Make friends (or enemies) with your fellow witches-in-training.
- Recruit your friends to help you battle dangerous Fae in a unique turn based battle system.
- Talk to and form pacts with enemy Fae to gain familiars.
- Take classes, learn spells, pass your exams, cultivate magical plants and brew potions.
- Solve mysteries in a seven-year story arc with a high-stakes conclusion.
For centuries, the human world has been under siege by a Fae army whose leader’s favorite weapon is insidious psychological warfare. In this perilous setting, humanity must rely on magic-users for protection. Can you and your friends become powerful enough to take on this most-feared enemy?
The World
Long ago, humans summoned Fae creatures to this world and bound them to their will. But when pacts were broken, the power of the Fae turned upon humanity and brought chaos.
Only the aid and protection of a group of sympathetic Fae kept humans from being annihilated. These Fae became known as the Protectors, and founded the human-Fae Alliance. But one notoriously powerful and malicious Fae - Apexsens - has a deep grudge against humans and has not given up his quest to exterminate them, using any means necessary.
The safety of the Protectors cannot last forever - only through mastering their own magic do humans stand a chance. For nearly 300 years it has been Professor Dare's task - and atonement - to teach humans the very magic that once dominated and enslaved her.
After mysteriously vanishing for seven years, Professor Dare is now back to re-open Stardander, the best school for witches and the hope of all humanity.
