I started playing Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times on my handy phone emulator yesterday. It's the only one of four games in a series that got an English translation, and sure, it's an Animal Crossing clone of sorts, but it's got so much more to it. You're a new student at a magic school, and you can talk with your classmates, cast incantations, play songs... I haven't figured out how to do half of those, but the sky turned a wonky color and it's playing "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" and apparently some magical mystery is happening that I need to solve. (I'll figure it out eventually.)
What really saddens me is that there's a connectivity option where you can invite your friends over to explore your town... and since it's now one of the rarest physical DS cartridges of all time, that part of the experience is lost. It must've been really fun back in the day, but now this whimsical world only exists (reliably) on a ROM. There's no giant community around it, it's just this charming obscure title- waiting for people to play it that may never be able to.
Here's me and Sylvia the cat on a beach as it snows:
No offence but if I wanted to play a video game where I am a wizard going to wizard school, learning spells and solving mysteries, I would simply play Enchanted Folk and the School of Wizardry (2009) on Nintendo DS instead of Antisemitism Simulator.
I recently discovered a magic in the game that lets me know what character has a crush on,, so I decided to make a chart with that info for the funsies hehe (´ ∀ ` *) And since I did their crushes, I headcanon friendships and dislikes, and plus I added my own character in game, since I'mm involved in how convoluted the crushes are xD
A youtube channel appeared in my recommended recently from someone doing MQMT playthroughs... I put it in my watch later and promptly forgot about it. Turns out his whole channel is dedicated to this game AND he's regularly uploading videos!!!
Pleeease give them a watch and comment to let him know WE CARE. From what I've seen, he has, like, 50 subs. BRING THE MQMT/EFSW LOVE!!!!!
