Everything We Know About Witchbrook

Your journey begins the moment you receive your official acceptance letter to the prestigious Witchbrook College in the seaside city of Mossport. Thankfully, your generous aunt lets you stay in her cozy cottage, but surviving your student years is entirely up to you.

Witchbrook - Visiting Mossport

Between paying expensive college tuition and making sure you don't starve on a diet of instant noodles, establishing a steady income is your absolute first priority. Luckily, you won't have to navigate student life alone. Fable, a greedy magical familiar living in your cottage, hatch a series of mischievous plans to boost both your academic studies and your financial bottom line.

As a witch-in-training, your magical toolkit extends far beyond passing classroom exams. Once you acquire your first wand, it functions as a versatile utility tool. Want to redecorate your cottage? You can use your wand to levitate and rearrange heavy furniture in real-time.

Witchbrook - Magic Spells

Completing school milestones unlocks a vast library of practical utility spells. Your coven head, Professor Carlyle, even offers exclusive one-on-one spellcasting lessons. These practical spells prove invaluable for daily life, allowing you to track down rare crafting ingredients in the wild or upgrade your standard broomstick into a high-speed flying machine.

While running a business keeps your pockets full, your primary goal in Mossport is mastering the arcane arts. Attending daytime and evening classes unlocks critical abilities needed to harvest, craft, and discover unique magical items.

Your curriculum covers a vast range of mystical disciplines - starting with basic herbal teas, incense, and salves early in your academic career, before expanding into complex potion brewing, astrological divination, and advanced arcane rituals.

Witchbrook - Knowledge

Throughout the week, the university posts specialized assignments on campus bulletin boards. Many tasks require you to venture deep into Mossport to consult troubled residents, research solutions in the school library, and apply your theoretical knowledge in the field.

Completing these assignments earns you College Merits. Merits can be traded at the campus shop for rare cosmetic items and serve as your official entry tickets for college exams. Furthermore, grateful citizens frequently send unique thank-you gifts, and you continually accumulate general credits simply by being a helpful community witch.

Taking exams represents a high-stakes milestone in your academic career. To advance to the next academic year - and unlock higher-tier spells, advanced classes, and restricted areas of the Mossport map - you must pass a comprehensive suite of tests.

Witchbrook - College Progress

Your final grades do not rely on luck; they depend entirely on how much information you have logged into your personal Knowledge Collection. For instance, a complex Magical Medicine exam simultaneously evaluates your logged knowledge across Herbology, herbal teas, and salves. If you are worried about failing, you can regularly attend coven study groups, where classmates quiz you with mock exams.

Once you pass your finals, you advance to the next academic year. And for hardcore players, the journey doesn't end at graduation: you can remain on campus as a postgraduate to fully complete your Knowledge Collection, polish previous exam scores, and scale your cottage business to new heights.

Witchbrook is set in Mossport, a picturesque, bustling seaside town that feels equal parts cozy coastal village and vibrant academic hub. The city features distinct districts, ranging from the historic stone arches of the university campus to lively coastal promenades and lush municipal parks.

Witchbrook - Social Life

Gameplay trailers showcase a wonderfully cozy loop: strolling across campus grounds, riding mopeds along cobblestone streets, peering through giant telescopes, and enjoying treats at local seaside cafes. Magic is woven seamlessly into everyday life - whether you're animating fountains, tending fruit baskets, flying on your broomstick, or participating in spooky summoning circles to commune with other dimensions. (And yes, trailers have confirmed you can even encounter baby dragons!)

It is impossible not to fall in love with Witchbrook’s visual presentation. The game features a gorgeous 2D isometric pixel art style heavily inspired by classic anime aesthetics. The environmental detail in Mossport is remarkable: pigeons scatter as you walk past, leaves drift lazily on the breeze, squirrels dart through park trees, and flags flutter realistically in the coastal wind.
