Maeve’s Academy

Maeve’s Academy puts you in the role of a young mage determined to revive a fallen school of magic, blending story-driven choices with light management and exploration. You arrive at the H.G. Academy as the first man in history able to wield magic and must work with director Maeve and a skeleton staff to recruit students, recover magical objects and rebuild classes. Players who enjoy character-focused narratives, rebuilding systems and a slow-burn progression will find Maeve’s Academy appealing as they assemble the people and resources needed to return magic to its former glory.
