Update:

After conducting more tests on the GX.games version, I've realized that there are several major issues that are not present in the downloadable version. I will attempt to fix these issues (if I can), but in the mean time, I highly recommend using the downloadable version. 

Also, I finally made a feedback form! So if you want to have a hand in turning this game into a masterpiece, a true work of art that would even make Picasso turn in his grave (R.I.P. Picasso...), then fill out this 10 minute survey here! 

Finally, in case you're wondering, the average playtime to complete the demo is roughly 15 minutes.

The world:

Not many wizards have the prowess to play games with God. They either give up early or fall ill trying to bear the weight of all that power. However, your master has come closer than anyone before...and lives to regret the tale.

In an attempt to create his own version of heaven, he, instead, created his own purgatory. As you journey through his "dream" world, you will uncover the eerie underbelly that lurks beneath the whimsical, cheery façade. However, as an apprentice, your magical skills will not suffice in protecting you from the powerful mages in this world. Therefore, your master has left you two magical items to boost your abilities: an amulet which grants you prowess over the four elements, and a cloak to protect you from harm.

Although these items grant you much power, they hold a limited amount of magic. So you must learn to utilize the environment and clever thinking in order to reach your goal: to uncover the dark secrets your master left behind.

The game:

The Wizard Who Lost His Face is a top-down, "stealth-wizard", immersive-sim with a narrative and world inspired Dante's Divine Comedy. You have a set of elemental powers that you can use to interact with the environment in a number of ways. For example, you can toss a fireball on a puddle of water to create a steam cloud which you can then hide in. You can also setup shock traps, create potions, start wildfires, transform people into chickens, oh...and you can make pretty much anything explode...

This is an early alpha demo that I put together in roughly 6 months. You can expect the full release to expand on several components of the game including but not limited to:

• Improved stealth and combat with many more viable abilities (such as picking up and tossing weapons).
• More spell and environment interactions.
• Improved AI with more intricate schedules and behaviors.
• 9 levels each with their own unique themes, story, characters, and mechanics.
• Couch co-op.
  
• And much more!

There is currently only a Windows and GX.games build available now, but I should be releasing a Mac build fairly soon (unless it's completely busted...then it will be longer).

By the way, I really appreciate all the donations you guys have sent so far. It really helps me out so thank you! :)
