## What is Arcane Arts Academy?

Discover the unique wonders and challenges of a magical world as seen through the eyes of a young wannabe witch!

Erika has always felt different. Somehow, she just never seemed to fit in. To her the world always seemed to have some hidden meaning she could never quite grasp… until now!

Welcome to the Arcane Arts Academy, home to a magical menagerie of wonders! Join Erika as she adjusts to her new life and takes on the unique struggles and challenges of everyday life as a magical college student. She’ll make new friends, and maybe even find love… but she may also find unexpected foes! Something sinister lurks in the shadows, seeking to control Erika’s magical abilities. Perhaps not all is as it seems after all!

- Join Erika and find out who—or what—is lurking in the shadows!
- Experience a Time Management game in an unforgettable magical setting.
- Enjoy gorgeous artistically-rendered environments perfectly suited for mobile devices.
- Play 60 engaging levels offering hours of unique gameplay.
- Watch 120 beautiful story-driven cutscenes (including a unique intro and outro for every level).
- Spend diamonds to decorate Erika’s dorm room.
- Immerse yourself in the magic with an enchanting atmospheric soundtrack.

In Arcane Arts Academy, you will be tasked with helping Erika in her various magic classes. Grab items and combine ingredients into wonderful new creations and spells. But be warned—everyone has limited patience, including teachers and students! Manage your time and actions well to earn rewards. Perform well to receive stars from your classmates and diamonds to decorate your dorm room.

Good luck!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-03, version 1.7*

Really like how this game is done. Wish some areas were a little easier or at least had more hints ahead.

### 2/5 — Dislike behavior of characters

*2025-08-23, version 1.7*

I really do love time management games, and  I do look forward to finishing the game and following the storyline, BUT..I absolutely hate the kids smoking and drinking and the use of bad language. I guess that makes me a fuddy duddy, but I won’t be able to play this game with the kids because I don’t want them to see the behavior. I like to just play laid back games that are not too hard, that have a good story, but when they cuss or drink, and especially smoke-it just ruins it a little for me. I would love for you someday to make versions of this and others, that don’t have any of that.

### 2/5 — Trava muito/ problema com anúncio

*2025-01-23, version 1.7*

Os anúncios travam muito, além de serem excessivos e mandantes, e acontece o tempo todo de eu assistir o anúncio completo e depois não aparecer o lugar para fechar, ou então travar, e aí não dá para passar para próxima fase. Difícil… precisa urgente arrumar esse bug.

### 3/5 — Leg

*2024-07-18, version 1.7*

Little bit laggy compared to some of the other games, which is a shame because I really enjoyed it so far :(

### 5/5 — 蠻好玩的還可以順便練英文

*2024-07-16, version 1.7*

玩到一半嚇到 每個跟學校有關的遊戲都要來個學生懷孕環節嗎😂Mr.Markov看起來這麼正經居然讓女學生懷孕真的跌破眼鏡 玩到一半整個大問號

### 4/5 — Two levels…

*2024-04-21, version 1.7*

There are two levels that did not work for me. Items were supposed to be delivered, yet no one ever came around to do so? Please advise if possible, so I can complete the game with all diamonds. Otherwise it’s a cute game, and I enjoyed myself! Thanks for all the work that went into making it.

### 5/5 — Magia

*2024-04-06, version 1.7*

Bajkowa historia

### 1/5 — Subscription don’t work

*2024-02-27, version 1.7*

I have GameHouse Original Stories subscription after the free trial but I still don’t have access to the full game, please help!!!

### 4/5 — Love the game but

*2023-09-08, version 1.6*

I have always loved playing game house games from Emily delicious to Dr cares. But from its new recent games, like heart’s medicine. and this one levels have become boring and if I have to say, even when it’s on normal, it’s hard to beat. Can’t really find this game enjoyable anymore or any of the new games that have come out.

### 3/5 — Cute, but Inconsistent

*2023-07-20, version 1.6*

Loved the story line and most of the scenes were quite artistic, but the inconsistency in game play in levels was frustrating. On several levels, 5 stars could easily be reached in Hard mode, then there were levels that 5 stars was impossible in Easy mode! And the countdown timer is laughable on many levels (i.e., near end of level, timer shows only half a bar filled, yet as soon as level ends it fills up to 5 stars instantly.) Because I have a GH subscription, I’m going to check out the sequel and hope that’s more polished.
