Waltz of the Wizard

About

You play a fledgling wizard mixing potions in a cluttered tower with Skully the skull as your reluctant lab partner. Boil ingredients into spells that alter the world around you from a VR headset or shared screen. Cast fireballs by voice command or fumble with controls while a friend helps in local co-op. The world reacts to your magic in unpredictable ways as you uncover secrets beyond the tower walls. The game runs on charm and absurdity with cross-platform support spanning PC and major VR systems. Split-screen co-op lets one player use a controller while another wears a headset. Over three years since launch it still holds a 76% critic rating on Metacritic. Players praise the tactile spellcasting and Skully’s grumpy humor but note the inconsistent difficulty curve. The updated Screen Mode adds new ways to explore its quirky magical ecosystem.

Storyline
