About This Game

A wizard's apprentice has one goal: become a mage. The path runs through the study of scroll-making — how to make them, what ingredients each requires, and how to gather those ingredients from the world outside the workshop. The player's first choice is which of three companions to take on for the journey: Lime, Berry, or Nut, each offering a different dynamic. From there it is a matter of study, gathering, and progress toward the title the apprentice intends to earn.
