What is Songs of Glimmerwick?
Songs of Glimmerwick is a story-driven witch academy RPG developed by Eastshade Studios where magic is cast through music. Enrolled as a novice witch at The Etchery, you explore a woodland island recovering from a forty-year ban on music known as the Silence, interacting with fully voiced characters without any combat.
A playthrough progresses through four academic seasons of classes, botanical gardening, and handcrafted quests. You enchant tools to automate field tasks, play melodies on your flute, attend lectures, and explore at your own pace because in-game clocks freeze during evening hours and scheduled school events.
