Magic Academy 2 Demo

Magic may not be real, but people have invented enough stories about it to make anyone at least a bit hopeful. Back in the day, witches were feared and despised, mostly because it was thought that they deal with dark magic only. However, we now have happy tales about healing spells, monster summonings and many other such magic feats, thanks to movies and video games.

Magic Academy 2 is a hidden object game in which you have to deal with all sorts of spells and supernatural events, while also trying to unravel a few secrets. Your goal is to find items and pay attention to the environment most of the time, but there are other puzzles to tackle as well. The story is quite interesting too, even if it’s not very complicated.

In short, you play the role of Irene, a student at Tirisfal Fortress, where magic is taught to those who want to learn it. As it happens, a powerful treatise is stolen by a nefarious thief, which opens up the possibility that someone might summon a powerful demon with untold powers. Naturally, it is your job to find the treatise and stop the catastrophe from ever happening, by gathering clues and investigating possible suspects.

Just like in most hidden object games, your task is quite simple most of the time: find every item on the list and use some of the objects to unlock the way further. Every now and again, a different kind of puzzle is presented to you, although they are all pretty simple to figure out. However, the hidden object sequences can be pretty challenging if you are not familiar with the genre, because the designers did a good job at hiding the items.

Speaking of which, the visual quality is decent in most cases, although the backgrounds are static and there’s not much movement otherwise either. Even the characters you meet along the way are just pictures with voices, although they at least keep you from getting bored. Moreover, the controls are spot on, so you only need to click on the objects to obtain the desired result.

Magic Academy 2 is not exactly groundbreaking, but it features enough levels and puzzles to keep you occupied for a decent amount of time. Not only that, but the story is quite entertaining as well, at least if you are a fan of magic.
