Stardander School for Witches

Stardander School for Witches follows four young witches as they learn magic, protect their families and investigate the mysteries surrounding Stardander. You attend classes, study late, take part in strategic battles against Fae creatures and try to stay on your broom. Pranks on your least-favourite teacher and rule-breaking are part of school life, though getting sent to the pitch-black, possibly haunted dungeons is best avoided.

The human-Fae Alliance

Long ago, humans summoned Fae creatures and bound them to their will. When the pacts broke, the Fae turned their power against humanity and brought chaos. A group of sympathetic Fae protected humanity from annihilation; known as the Protectors, they founded the human-Fae Alliance.

One powerful and malicious Fae, Apexsens, still holds a grudge against humans and seeks to exterminate them by any means. For nearly 300 years, Professor Dare has taught humans magic—the same magic that once dominated and enslaved her—as both a duty and an act of atonement. After mysteriously vanishing for seven years, she returns to reopen Stardander, which offers humanity hope and protection through magical training.

Four witches

You play as four main characters, each with their own reasons for learning magic:

• Callie: frilly and pampered, she thinks magic is for common folk and wonders why she has ended up at Stardander.
• Freya: a deathly prankster who might see ghosts, but is also sweet-natured.
• Rory: an overachiever who tries to do what is right while living in the shadow of a notorious family.
• Mira: a feisty, Fae-touched fighter who is still learning how to be human.

You can make friends or enemies among your fellow witches-in-training, and enlist friends to help in battles.

Classes and magic

Take classes, learn spells and pass exams to develop your magic. Subjects include projection, transmutation, channeling and telepathy, and you never know which spell may help in a desperate moment. You can also grow magical plants, cultivate materials for potions and enchantments, and brew potions.

Battles and mysteries

Fight dangerous Fae in a turn-based battle system. You can also talk to enemy Fae and form pacts with them to gain familiars. The story unfolds across multiple years as you solve mysteries, building towards a high-stakes conclusion.
