Enroll at Stardander School for Witches: Where You’ll Learn to Battle Fae, Wield the Elements, and Get a Magical Companion (Even If You’re a Muggle)

[Connecticut/2 October 2023] - Imagine a world where Sailor Moon and Hogwarts Legacy collide, with a dash of LGBTQIA+ magic and a cat headmaster; that’s Stardander School for Witches, a visual novel RPG that is sure to enchant players. The school has now opened its doors to welcome new students on Steam for its Early Access Launch. Guide four young witches in training to help unlock their full potential while also making friends (or frenemies) along the way. The Early Access content consists of four full years of school, and three more years will be added for full launch, which is planned for next year. To help kick off spooky season and a magical school year, the headmaster of the school is encouraging all new students to learn the school song.

There will be no slacking off at Stardander School for Witches. This isn’t your typical magic school, where professors can’t be bothered to stop students from brewing potions in the bathroom. From the mysterious masked professor to the one with an abnormal fascination with explosions and danger, students will be sure to get a unique and unforgettable education at Stardander. 

Departing from other visual novels, Stardander School for Witches introduces a unique turn-based combat system. Students can recruit their friends to help battle dangerous Fae, using the skills they learned from their professors. However, at Stardander, professors do know that battling isn’t for everyone, which is why students can choose to opt-out if they want to. Opting out of fighting will not drastically change the storyline or the student’s experience at the school. 

While deciding to opt out of battling will not impact a student’s journey through Stardander School for Witches, there are plenty of other choices that will. One of the most critical choices a witch will have to make is to choose which elemental group they will belong to. Each elemental group will have an impact on certain skills and choices throughout the game. Students will also be able to choose which companion they want on their journey and even a wand that will increase their elemental traits. 

Main Features Include: 

• Colorful Cast: Play as four complex main characters, each with their own reasons for learning magic.
• The Power of Friendship: Become friends or frenemies with your fellow witches-in-training. 
• Optional Battle System: Recruit your friends to help you battle dangerous Fae in a unique turn-based battle system. 
• Magical Companions: Talk to and form pacts with Fae to gain familiars. 
• Progress Reports: Take classes, learn spells, and pass your exams. Use your power to cultivate magical plants and brew potions to enchant items. 

With the doors officially open at Stardander School for Witches for its Early Access Launch, students can enroll at school on Steam for $19.99. A full launch is expected in 2024 which will include all seven years of the game. To stay updated with the game’s development, wishlist and follow it on Steam. Players can also join the game’s Discord. Those looking for more Stardander are encouraged to try the free Halloween-themed spinoff Stardander Revenant on Steam.
