About Spells & Secrets
Spells & Secrets is a 2023 roguelite adventure by Alchemist Interactive set in the modern wizard academy of Greifenstein. Magical creatures have overrun the school, and as a newly enrolled student you have to drive them out while uncovering the secrets hidden in its halls.
Each run takes you through changing rooms where you fight with a mix of primary, secondary and extra spells, many of which also solve puzzles. You collect artifacts, unlock new magic and return to the academy hub between attempts. A detailed character creator lets you design your own student, and a second player can join in local split-screen co-op.

Why Buy This Game?
Spells & Secrets is a friendly entry point into roguelites, with an easy-going magic school story and colourful visuals. It works well for families or friends sharing one screen, since a second player can drop into local co-op. Mixing spells to find new solutions keeps runs varied even after many attempts.
