Welcome to July's dev blog!

As you know, we ran a successful Kickstarter that brought 2470 backers who believe in Kitori Academy, making us incredibly proud of how far the game has come.
To all those incredible supporters, thank you!
We haven't stopped working since those days, and we have some exciting new updates.

We participated in Wholesome Direct 2022 along with many other uplifting and warm games. And can proudly share that we've reached over 100k wishlist on Steam today!

Unreal Engine 5

We are also very excited to share that we recently moved to Unreal Engine 5, and Kitori Academy looks as impressive as ever.

Alexandra and her Honduran Bat familiars

I would like to formally present you to the first possible character you will be able to be best friends with.

Alexandra is a very sweet and kind apprentice who enjoys quiet times reading books.
She is very shy by nature and will hesitate to approach you for the first time, but she will be very happy to meet you and have the chance to be your acquaintance.
She always carries her umbrella shaped like a hat to protect her from the sun, where the tiny cute Honduran Bats spend most of the day sleeping or fluttering around at late hours.

She has extensive knowledge of ancient magic history and will be of most help if you need to find some facts about a spell or potion.

Home sweet home

You might remember that we showed your several times your cosy home where you will have your bed, a cosy firepit, and books, and don't forget your companion cat will be there waiting for your pets and treats.

And here is a surprise for you, your room is part of a larger cottage outside the academy, where you will cohabit with other apprentices and will be perfect for relaxing or, if you prefer, practising what you've learnt during the day!

The cottage has a common area with chairs, a table, and a basement where you will have some of the workstations you can use to practice potions, a kitchen and other small rooms that will be revealed in the future!
