Puppet Mage

Puppet Mage is a 2D fantasy RPG that drops you into a magical academy as a new student who unexpectedly awakens a forbidden art called Puppet Magic. The game combines exploration, narrative choices and resource-driven mechanics: you wield a power once used to control many across a kingdom, but you lack the mana to use it freely. As you probe the academy’s secrets and interact with characters, your decisions guide the story toward very different outcomes. Players who enjoy morally complex plots and branching endings will find Puppet Mage a tense, choice-driven experience worth trying.
