Summitbound [ALPHA DEMO]

About

You have been plucked from the Scholomance, a magic university-meets-prison, for a chance to graduate and receive your mage licence.

As you face your last examinations in potions, artificing, and combat, you draw closer to five fellow students — Melody, Aria, Xander, Rex, and Tao — each guarding lofty ambitions, deep wounds, and dark secrets.

In this world, no mage escapes the authority of the Scholomance. Those who refuse its teachings are branded rogue mages and hunted without mercy. Only the most gifted are chosen to ascend to The Summit for their 7-day long final exam — selected by aptitude, not by year group — and this single week determines the course of their lives. Graduation is not a celebration, but a judgment.

Your choices shape who you trust, who you love, and who may lead you into ruin. Summitbound boasts branching routes, voiced encounters, and a darker path hidden beneath the castle’s quiet halls. 

Can you pass your final exams?
