As it is set in Wolf Hall, you will be playing as a male protagonist this time around, with a very different background to the original Horse Hall protagonist. You will meet a lot of familiar faces (with new storylines) plus some new characters as well. Five "main" character routes, seven "side" character routes, new spells, new dungeons, new clubs... there's an awful lot to see!
While it is not required to play Horse Hall in order to play Wolf Hall, it does add more depth to the experience (you'll recognise little references, and you'll get a bonus Wiggle Wand in Wolf Hall if you have a Horse Hall gallery on the same computer) so we're celebrating by setting the original game 75% off this week.
Magical Diary: Wolf Hall launching February 17!
After years of waiting, the next Magical Diary game is almost ready for release!
If you don't already have it wishlisted, you can do so now:
There will be a little in-game bonus in Wolf Hall for players who've previously played through Horse Hall. This is tracked by checking your computer for the unlocked gallery images (kiss/dance photos) so if it's been a while or you played the first game on a different computer, now is a good time to refresh your memory.
All Hanako Games titles are currently 60-90% off in the end-of-year sale. Discounts will run until January 2nd.
We are also planning to have the next game in the Magical Diary series out on Steam in early 2020. Magical Diary: Wolf Hall will feature a design-your-own male protagonist, even more dungeon crawling, more than 75 magic spells, and twelve possible characters to pursue (both male and female).
The long awaited next entry in the Magical Diary series is now live on Kickstarter.
You play a (customisable) male character from an ancient European magical bloodline, who is traveling to America as an exchange student to spend a year at Iris Academy under the watchful gaze of Professor Grabiner, an old friend of your family... who isn't exactly happy about pulling babysitting duty. Will you discover the secret of the ghost who haunts the school halls? Win the election for Student Council President? Outwit Damien at his own game? Or be sent home in disgrace?
By backing the kickstarter, you can get early access to the game as development progresses and help to unlock new love interests. For more information, please check out the kickstarter page
Or visit the Coming Soon page on Steam, where you can find a playable demo of the first week of gameplay.
Happy Holidays from Hanako Games! We hope your wrapup for 2018 is peaceful and pleasant.
In the meantime, we've got some big Magical Diary news coming soon. You can follow the latest developments on our official twitter account.
