About This Game

Eldest son and heir of an old European noble wizard family, you have been raised in wealth and privilege. Now you want the chance for a fresh start. That was why you chose to become an exchange student in the distant land of Vermont, in the United States of America. There, you will attend Iris Academy, a school of pentachromatic magic, and study alongside other wizards and witches. Perhaps then you can meet people who like you for yourself.

As a student wizard, you will learn new spells, face puzzles and monsters in the school dungeons, join clubs, run for class office, fight duels, investigate ghosts, outwit demons, and try to find a date for the May Day Ball. But keeping secrets isn't always easy. Trust the wrong person, and you could lose your honor, your life, or even your soul...

Not Recommended

A Fanfic Of A Fanfic. The first one had a basic charm that kept the player engaged, but it delved a little too deeply into tropes and cliche and offered nothing really new. This second game in the series might have worked if it was part of the first game, the option to play a male character. But it's not. This is just a male reskin, not a sequel, and with none of the lessons learned from the first game. This one just repeats the first game, but with worse writing. The climax is non existent. It's an unrewarding grind and a waste of time for most people. Any lingering charm is killed off by the bad fanfic level writing.

Recommended for fans of VNs and light RPGs. Good story and characters but light on depth and some paths can be difficult/unintuitive to get. Sort of an anime style Harry Potter. Also recommend Sunrider, Planet Stronghold, Tales of Aravorn, Loren, Life is Strange, the Atelier series, and the Persona series. +Visuals, art style +Music +Some appearance/name customization +Variety of magic schools/stats +Wizard school theme +Save anytime +Story, characters, writing +Variety of spells and effects +Choice of classes to take/stats to level +Dungeons to solve with spells +Quick spell bar +Variety of ways to solve puzzles +Personality traits develop by choices/dialogue +Several routes for replay +Purchase items for spell focus -No voice -Barebones options/settings -Male character only -Can't choose magic house assigned -Forced traits can be confusing/unintentional -Need for a lot more spell quick slots -Many missed opportunities for hangouts/relationships -Some obtuse...

If you've played the original Magical Diary then you will love this one. It acts as a sort of ''what if instead of a wildseed/non-magic heritage girl joining it was an exchange student who is also from a noble family''. It keeps all the best parts without turning it into a repeat. If you've never heard of the original one then you'll still love it because the characters are fun, events are clever and stat building is great. Highly recommend.
