Scimagic: The Magic World Is Bugged, Fix It With Science!

Scimagic: The Magic World Is Bugged, Fix It With Science! is a roguelike RPG in which a boy from the modern world uses scientific knowledge to strengthen magic. Battles play out automatically, and during each run the player picks from "Discoveries" based on forces such as fire, water, electricity and wind; combining them changes how spells behave, so every run leads to a different build. Companions are original characters modeled on figures from the history of science such as Newton, Einstein and Archimedes. The game runs in a web browser on PC and smartphones with no download required.

In a world where magic is commonplace, the Church regards those who use it as heretics. A boy who carries the knowledge of a modern-day scientist arrives in this world and, soon after, is mistaken for the accomplice of a young witch and surrounded by Church guards. To get out of this and the dangers that follow, he begins applying the principles of science to magic, analyzing the properties of different forces and turning that understanding into stronger spells. Along the way he is joined by companions who resemble great scientists of history, among them characters based on Newton, Einstein, Archimedes, Leibniz, Heisenberg and Maxwell. As stages are cleared the main story unfolds, with conversations and small episodes that reveal more of the world and its cast.
