Harry Potter fans urged to check out free Steam download

Fans of magic and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, should definitely get their peepers on this upcoming Steam game.

If you’ve had your fill of Hogwarts Legacy, but still crave some wizard school hijinks, then there’s a demo I have to tell you about.

Run a wizarding school in The Fool's Apprentice on Steam.

The Fool’s Apprentice is a wizard academy management sim - which is a mouthful for a genre - that will allow you to design and run your own wizarding school. There's a demo available now, so you can get a taste.

It’ll be your job to guide would-be wizards and witches through the hallowed halls of your school, ensuring they become the best spell-casters they can be.

Though, if we have a look at the Steam page for the game, it doesn’t sound like the nicest experience for the students as you, “Levitate them, toss them around, control their minds or wipe them, and even throw them into portals to other worlds!”

Micromanaging is key here, it seems, as you ensure that each student learns the right spells, concocts the correct potions, and passes their exams with flying colours.

Research plays a part too, with the player choosing what spells to create and teach, and keeping the potentials of powerful magic away from the public.

I loved the strikethrough included in the description that read, “kidnap citisens for experimentation,” which I can only assume means we get the chance to be as nefarious as possible.

What kind of simulator would it be if you can’t get knee-deep in some decorating?

Completely overhaul your school, add in decor you love, and make it as gorgeous as possible.

All of this runs alongside a lovely narrative - though I’d hazard a guess you can be an evil wizard - that will have you hooked and playing until early in the morning.

A must for all Harry Potter fans craving that feel of the books and films.
