About the Game

Blockboy and The Wizard is a short linear game about a regular stickman with a square head and a bleak life, who becomes the apprentice of a wizard with no beard and his own brand of soda. The soda thing isn't really important at all, but it's very cool.

There is a lot of text, if you are illiterate you won't like it. Well, if you are illiterate you can't read this... Actually, the artwork is insanely gorgeous and can be enjoyed without reading, but the game won't last as long.

  • Become a wizard, maybe!

  • Talk to people and click things! Stuff happens when you click things!

  • There are rats? There are rats!

  • No wizard story game is complete without a villain, a MAGICAL villain who is EVIL

  • The rats can talk, they are relevant to the story

  • Well not all of the rats can talk, some of them can't talk at all

  • Meet different characters, both interesting and not, while following aforementioned story

  • The Wizard is a wizard

  • The villain is a wizard as well, in a way, but I won't tell you her name, 'tis a secret

  • Some of the characters don't have any dialogue, they are basically decorations

  • Most do talk though
