Runaway Magic

A simple game about a runaway mage, an excessive amount of mushrooms, and a lava lamp. Play as the inanimate green runaway mage as they try to put as much distance between their teacher’s servants and themselves as possible, and try to get a handle on their magic powers.

You know what they say though… the more magic you use, the more fungus is among you


Made for LudumDare40 in Unity 2018! I decided to build a small choose your own adventure about magic and mushrooms. This was the first LudumDare I participated in, and as such, was very small in scope. The story came about during the late night fever dream that happens when you stay up for 48 hours, and it takes itself incredibly not-seriously.

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux
