The Magic Circle
In The Magic Circle, you’re tasked with playtesting a game that has been in development hell for the better part of two decades. Shenanigans ensue and you find yourself exploring the sandbox world of the game.
The gameplay is focused on capturing creatures and using coding to modify their properties. There are also coding-related puzzles that help your character progress through different sections of the map.
The story of The Magic Circle focuses on the butting of heads between the two project leads, which is an intriguing dynamic that’s not commonly talked about in games.
Not only does this game teach you coding concepts, but it also explores the difficulties that game developers experience while working on a collaborative piece of interactive art.
