About the Game

Waltz of the Wizard is a sandbox mixed with a story in an ultra-interactive world, where you journey through a fantastical realm full of mischief, mayhem and mildly sarcastic characters.

Skully is an on-device AI character that features thousands of voice-acted dialogues and an enormous range of unique reactions. Skully is intensely aware—responding not just to what you say, but also your gaze, gestures, and every weird thing that happens in the environment. Interact with Skully for a delightfully mischievous experience where even the most playful actions can trigger hilariously dark and unexpected outcomes.

Your magic abilities are dazzlingly diverse; summon storms of fireballs, manipulate time, transform objects into frogs, master natural magic particles. Discover mystical artifacts and spellbinding objects each reacting uniquely to your interactions such as ancient relics that whisper, potions that turn you into a giant to name a few.

Use voice interactions with blazingly fast responsiveness to talk to characters or use voice commands to magically modify anything to your heart's desire - where you just need to be careful not to break the reality if you go to far! For those who prefer to remain silent there is always the optional Type to Talk.

Dive into a fantasy world filled with bizarre curiosities, hilarious secrets and many hours of gameplay. Whether you’re navigating Skully’s past memories, hunting for glory in the Observer Fortress, or strapping Skully to some unstable medieval rockets, get ready for a journey defined by pure, whimsical weirdness.

Waltz of the Wizard has greatly expanded with multiple updates since the original release! Each update has introduced something totally new, often experiemental and always new content, more to do with Skully and many new secrets.
