Scrabdackle

Scrabdackle is a hand-drawn open-world adventure about Blue, a novice at a wizard academy. When the academy is attacked, Blue is thrown from a window into the unfamiliar world outside. They set out on a long journey home, facing foes and uncomfortable truths as they discover how different the world is from what they learned in their sheltered life at the academy.

Explore the world

You can travel in any direction, though some paths remain blocked until you learn a spell that lets you pass. Nearly all spells, bosses and regions can be found in any order, so you can turn back and explore elsewhere when you reach an obstacle. The sprawling world includes open, interconnected areas for exploration as well as dungeons with more linear challenges and puzzles.

As you travel, you can find secrets, take on optional challenges, uncover mysteries and meet characters with storylines of their own. You can talk with locals for guidance or leave a conversation before it ends. The academy notebook lets you study the world and record what you discover.

Spells and challenges

Bosses test your skills, with each attempt bringing you closer to victory. Challenge settings let you adjust the experience, whether you want to focus on puzzles and exploration or push your skills further. On Poet difficulty, Act 1 takes about 12–15 hours to complete if you see the main content and finish the story; exploring every corner and taking on every optional challenge can take longer.
