Back to Academy Arcane

Untitled

This page is for Yan's rough idea of what his Academy Arcane is going to be.

Story

-Name Pending-, a professional hero for hire is off looking for adventure. With his trusty sidekick -Name Also Pending-, they go wherever danger and profit take them.

But now their journeys take them to the . They have been summoned by Professor Fieldstone to deal with a dark wizard's tower that has suddenly appeared on the grounds.

But something's not right here. The students are strangely calm, and no one wants to tell the hero anything at all about this tower. What mysteries await inside, and who is the wizard behind it all?

Gameplay

The game will be a standard dungeon crawl, except up instead of down, and with more puzzles. Like the Adventures of Lolo with more fighting. Add a cynic hero, an idiot assistant, a dash of odd humor. Mix well. Serves 1 for a projected 2 hours.

The game will feature a day/night cycle, witty banter, and two distinct endings (beyond the obvious YOU DIE).

Name Also Pending - The Sidekick

Orphaned by a Wandering Monster, the poor lad latched onto the hero seeking a role model and moral support. Young, idealistic, loyal, and dumber than a post, kind of like a dog. Maybe there characteristic are endearing enough for the hero to keep him around. Or maybe he's just that hard to get rid of.

Professor Fieldstone - The Quest Giver

The professor calls in the hero to deal with the sudden appearance of a strange tower. He seems to be the only one unduly worried about it. Won't say what he teaches, but swears he's an important professor.
