Have been playing a lot of this "idle" game, lately. It has a fun adventure narrative that matches up with the game mechanics, that you learn as you progress. For example, opening the spell book opens the spell-energy recharging mechanism that requires juggling multiple recharge bars. That part reminds me of playing a healer in a multiplayer RPG. Anyway, it's no-cost, with paid options, but I've not felt any incentive to purchase an add-on in the several days of game play.

I made it through the Woods to the Academic City, on an Ubuntu Linux desktop computer. The game ran flawlessless, with the Unity Game Engine. I used primarily the mouse, but there are useful keyboard shortcuts, as well.

Edit: after playing for some tens of hours, I reached the middle of the game, where my experience changed. The quests require grinding tens of object, each with many subcomponents, that require extensive baby-sitting to complete. It is not fun to complete a quest to make something, just to unlock another quest to make 3 more, then 5 more, and then 10 more, when that requires so much attention to challenge-less screentime. So, bottom line, is that the game is only fun up to a point when the grinding is too boring.
