Description:
Mind Over Magic is a simulation game from Sparkypants that lets you build 
your own magical school, and a playtest is open now.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

A public playtest is currently available for Mind Over Magic - a simulation 
game that lets players construct and manage their own magical school. During 
the game, players train their students in powerful magic in order to explore 
a mysterious and dangerous labyrinth. 

As highlighted by PC Gamer , Mind Over Magic is being developed by 
Sparkypants Studios and published by Klei Entertainment - the developers of 
Dont Starve, Griftlands, and Oxygen Not Included , amongst others. The full 
game doesnt currently have a release window, but, according to the 
developers, this current playtest isnt a demo, but the same version of the 
game thats currently being prepared for early access, so it can give players 
a real taste of whats to come. 

In Mind Over Magic , players are able to construct each facet of their 
school, with the option to build it from the ground up and decorate every 
room freely with furniture. They can then set their class schedule, complete 
with the teachers theyve chosen, for their students. 

Pupils must be brought up to speed with spells and abilities in order to take 
on the Underschool, the aforementioned labyrinth which is full of deadly 
creatures. Deadly isnt an understatement - the students can actually be 
killed in combat, after which you can reanimate them using dark magic in 
order to complete chores. Not quite sure which fate is worse there, to be 
honest. 

Though the playtest kicked off on October 19, the developers stated that 
theyd only be letting in a small number of people at first. However, things 
are set to open up further as the test goes on. Its set to run until October 
26, so, if youre interested, be sure to request access on Steam and make the 
most of it while you can.
