Sapirica

Have you ever wanted to put yourself in a wizard's shoes?

Sapirica is a deliberate, typing-based spellcasting game aimed to put yourself into a wizard's shoes. Juggle incanting spells, aiming, and staying alive. You start with a grimoire with notes and many spells, but you don't actually know what any of them mean. Figure them out through trial and error and survive the dungeon and reach the next level to complete your quest!

Experience having to remember spells while on the road and being bombarded by monsters. Remember your squishines and take care to prepare spells and hide!!

Type prompts to cast spells, no one is telling you what to do, nor what spells to use. All the spells you can use are in your grimoire. Oh, there is no mana by the way, so you can use as much as you like (the mana bar is a part of... prototype things...)

Interact with magic around the world. Remove other people's magic and spells through counterspelling: focus on an item with your cursor and type the prompt that appears.

Some walls are more complex than others, and the key must be found in a magical object hidden around the dungeon.

* This game is a prototype, and currently has two levels that loop into each other. This prototype includes: - casting system      - use the input bar on the bottom of the screen to type incantations. - spells list with incantations - rudimentary enemies -rudimentary health ** Current limitations are: - Extremely rudimentary enemies, health, level design -  No mana system (deliberating) -  No ending - two levels only

To all players playing this prototype, thank you for showing interest in Sapirica. I made this game with the intention of playing around with common videogame mechanics and changing them a little bit. I also based the inputs and development over some less than common inspirations, some of them non-game related at all. My biggest inspiration for this is Dungeon Meshi, specifically Marcille, and a bit of Frieren (just a smidge). I'll talk more about my inspirations in a devpost in the future. If you do end up reading this far, please give my game a try. I am currently looking for feedback for how it feels. I wanted to create an experience more similar to what I think magic would be like, and how it would feel to cast it and be a caster. Ideally, your 'casting' gets faster the more you play, if you would like to continue playing, and levelling up casting would translate to increasing your actual typing skill.  One in-game idea I have not implemented yet, but had been requested for a few times, is a shortcut for weaker but faster to cast spells such as the current magic missile or "mm." I am yet to figure this out, if I can't, I'll ask Parkah for help again. If that's a feature you think may be helpful, or if you have any other suggestions for inputs and casting, do let me know. The whole inputting things to interact with the world is my experiment, and I would love to know (and do need to know, for the sake of betterring this game) your comments, suggestions, your perceptions on what feels right or feels wrong. Feel free to comment it here, or reach out to me, Klepton, through discord(p0lished_0967) or bluesky(wanten-110)
