Welcome to Whimel Academy
Whimel Academy is a slow-paced time manager set at a fantastical school for witches, wizards, and budding mages. Upon receiving your acceptance letter for the academy’s fall semester, acquaint yourself with the campus map. Accompanying this introduction is a journal with all the information needed for your first week. View your class schedule, explore your stats, and familiarize yourself with the inventory menu. Whimel Academy’s low-stakes gameplay makes for a relaxing experience as you settle into your new home.
Get To Know Your New Home
Whimel Academy’s campus boasts a number of locations to unlock and explore. Visit the library to browse the shelves, socialize with peers in the dining hall, take a walk through the garden, or get some flight practice in the arena. At the end of the day, rest up in your dorm with the company of your cat to prepare for the next day’s adventures. As you grow more accustomed to campus, get to know your fellow students. A diverse set of in-game characters, each with unique interests and personalities, are excited to meet you. Interact with these students to increase your friendship level, creating more opportunities for meaningful conversation. Lifelong friendships and youthful romance are waiting to be discovered at Whimel Academy!
Hard Work Pays Off
Extracurriculars remain an integral part of life at Whimel Academy. Explore part-time jobs around campus to earn money and stat points towards different specialties. Shelve books in the library, grow new plants in the garden, or conduct research in the astronomy tower to earn money for events around the academy. Your wages can be exchanged for a sweet treat in the dining hall, a new book downtown, or accessories for your dorm, including a record player and a cauldron. If you have a particular specialty–such as potion-making or painting–try selling your wares to fund future projects. As you work, however, be mindful of your energy level; you can take a rest in your dorm when needed.
