This is an early alpha version of the game. Feedback welcome!

KNOWN BUGS:

• Matches will not load on Firefox. Or, maybe they do load, but it takes multiple hours. Can you tell the difference?
• Gameplay performance on Edge browser is unplayably bad.
• On other browsers, the colors are very washed out. Downloading is recommended.
• Occasionally, the 3D models will flicker(?), showing the default Godot skybox. If you manage to catch this bug on video, please post a link to the footage in the comments along with any other information you can give.

A Fabled curse has swept the world... ordinary people (often on the eve of their 18th birthdays) have begun transforming into characters from their favorite stories. In order to keep these young people safe from their own curses, a university was set up - Parable Academy for Fabled Youths! Can these students survive the constant attacks from literature's greatest villains?
