About the game
You serve a wizard who wants a rival tower ruined. Each night gives you a damage target and a limited time to reach it. You smash furniture, burn decorations and search the rooms for more things to wreck. Magical creatures patrol the building, so you also hide, distract them and look for a way out.
Up to six players join online. You speak spell names to push objects, lift friends, change shapes or escape danger. Nearby teammates hear your voice, which makes calling for help and casting spells part of the same noisy scramble. Different wands give you different ways to help or accidentally hurt the group. Runs favour experiments and funny mistakes as each damage quota leads into another night.
How it feels
Kind of game
A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
