Grimsorrow Academy

You signed the indenture. The page was still warm. Grimsorrow Academy is an idle RPG of dark academia and spellcasting dread - two games in one save, narrated by a clerk who has read your file and found you wanting. Scry the mirror for the dark itself. Attend fifteen forbidden Disciplines, raise a drowned lord's castle and every ten years, sign again for more power. The school never lets you graduate. It only lets you go deeper.

Scry the Obsidian Mirror to unlock your Disciplines and advance through the school year. Spells can be cast to move faster, but the ledger balances, and everything is paid for. Spells are not bought. They are learned and trained by hand. Trace a spell's mark on the glass to cast it: instant Maledictions, sustained Litanies, and Bindings that scry in your place. Only the strongest learn to cheat their own examinations and idle them. Then take them to the Proving Grounds: a road through the vale with a hundred and one of the dead standing on it, from the Kept-Back in the Academy's yard to the black mere and the shore of the sea under the world.

Pick one. Unmake it, mark by mark. Every cast is done in the dark's own way, in smoke, ash and dried blood. What you learn in chalk, you cast in glass.…
