Magical Diary: Wolf Hall

I liked the game. VN and life sim, well balanced in my opinion. Creative problem solving is rewarded.

I tried, for too long. I really wanted to like this game. Sadly, I wish I could get my money back. The art style is too drastically different from [b]Magical Diary: Horse Hall[/b] for me. I cannot get into it. I think it is a massive downgrade. Having more options does not automatically make them "better" options and they could have made more unique characters available in the same art style as before. I know the original seemed sort of basic, but continuity is important. They look like completely different people in some cases! I feel I would have enjoyed it otherwise. If you do not care about the art downgrade or care about what the characters looked like before, it seems like more of the same gameplay wise. Poor Grabiner and William got it the worst. Damien looks pretty bad too, not that I liked him very much.

the game is not hard. however it does give you the sense that your choices matter. obviously a few things NEED to happen, but because im a nosey nelly i always rewind and explore my dialog options. you are the protagonist, but there isn't a Voldemort to slay, so relax and enjoy your high school experience. ending was a tad lackluster, but that's because high school IS lackluster. there was celebrating, but besides the novelty, there was nothing grand about it. i hope there is a sequel.

Amazing dungeon crawling, fun interactions. 10/10

It's a fun little game! If you havent played the first game: It's a stat-building/dating sim game. With a bit of a puzzle game built into in through the exam dungeon exams you'll have to take throughout the year. The interface is really polished for an indie game in this genre, and the storu is pretty good even if you folllow the obvious paths. And there seem to be a lot of non-obvious paths t take as well, if you want replayability. I took a look at the achievements when I had finished the first few playthroughs. And there's many I've got NO idea on how to get! I'm gonna have do another few more playthoughts! If you did play the first game: The interface on this is better. I feel prgress is better-balanced. The puzzles in the dungeons are more interesting, though still not TOO hard to figure out. (Even for me... And I SUCK at puzzles...) And you get to figure out a few mysteries from the first game. Like what REALLY happened when that door got set on fire, and why. And what happened with that Wildseed that got expelled last year Ellen gets warned about. So, yeah, I reccomend this game, if you like the genre!

Charming writing, magic and characters makes this an absolutely delightful game. There are a couple... Odd choices that I think mostly come from not understanding American culture too well but they're easy enough to get past so you can experience just a delightful tale of going to magic school.

Apparently you can date people in this game, I wouldn't know, I was too busy Wizardmaxxing. The Dungeons are a ton of fun and I wish there were more

While I like the first in the series more as a personal preference - this game is still really great. Dungeons aren't as fun as the first but still really good and worth playing.
