Rebels - Under the Spell of Magic (Chapter 1)

This is the first linear chapter of a longer visual novel game about adventure, fantasy, magic and friendship. There are only a few choices that can be made, and some paths to chose from. The decisions do not have an impact on the ending, instead they provide slightly different content.

About the Game

The game is a linear visual novel. It has a few choices, but they do not have an impact on the ending, instead they provide different content to the reader.

Join Folken as he starts his first adventure in a world that is reigned by magic.

Dive into the complex world of this fantasy story and discover creatures, lore, abilities and a lot of characters with unique personalities.

Gained feedback from the community will help me improve future chapter releases.

There are 11 CG's to unlock.

A single playthrough takes about 3 to 4 hours.

Story

The story revolves around Folken, who is considered a low-class human by society, because he has no magic abilities.

In this world, people with magic abilities are automatically vested with high privileges and the rest are not worth much and are being discriminated against.

Folken has no family and has to fight for his survival each and every day.

But his life changes when an old man claims to have known his father, who was a legend and had incredible powers.

Does he actually have powers slumbering inside of him that he wasn't aware of?

Can he change the hierarchy of this world that has treated him so badly throughout his life?

Important note (Mac Version):

Due to engine limitations, the Mac version of the game will no longer receive future updates. This includes upcoming content changes and potential translations.

The currently available Mac version will remain playable, but only the Windows version will continue to be actively updated and supported going forward.
