An invitation to study magick in Transylvania – spellcasting adventure
Targu Mures, Transylvania, July 29th 2021 – Following their successful debut called “Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure” (over 50,000 units sold on Steam), Transylvanian studio Stuck In Attic are proud to reveal their new game, Near-Mage.
A hand-painted and traditionally animated narrative adventure game, Near-Mage tells the story of Illy, a teenager whose mysterious great-aunt invites her to stay in Transylvania for the summer…. Only to find out that they both come from a long line of witches, and Illy can enroll to study spell-crafting in the Transylvanian Institute for Magick.
You can get a feel of the game’s blend of cartoons and Eastern European Gothic here:
“We grew up and still live in Transylvania, Romania, and Near-Mage is a perfect creative opportunity to make a game that reflects that. Aside from our usual obsession for production values, we dove into researching local myths and folklore – I guess you can say it will be one of the very few authentic Transylvanian experiences in video games, and we couldn’t be more excited. Vampyres, strigoi, moroi, pricolitch – could you ask for more fascinating classmates?” said Liviu Boar, Creative Director at Stuck In Attic.
Near-Mage can now be wishlisted on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1685870/NearMage/
Stuck In Attic have also launched a coming-soon page for Near-Mage’s Kickstarter campaign, hopeful that they can recreate their debut game’s crowdfunding success:
