Short description
Romance cute villagers, banter with the annoying demon inside your head, and finally confront your tormentor in this epic interactive fantasy novel.
About this game
Experience everyday life as a magician in a medieval village. Balance spending time with your family with building friendships or finding romance with other villagers. Find work as a guard, scribe, farmer, or even a thief. Deal with relentless bullies one way or another. Play in chess tournaments, explore a necromancer's cave, go to the library, or practice your sword fighting in the sparring ring. The Magician's Burden is a 210,000 word interactive slice of life novel by Samwise Harry Young, where your choices control the story. It's text-based, with vivid character illustrations, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Play as male, female, or nonbinary; romance whoever you like. Cast spells with a wave of your fingertips: turn invisible, throw fireballs, heal wounds, and more. Use demonic magic—at a price—or resist the temptation. Read approximately 40k words per play-through! Oh, yes. You also have a demon living inside your head. He talks to you and occasionally offers you his demonic powers.
