Our new game, Hocus Focus, is out now!

Hey everyone!

Taking place in the same universe as Near-Mage, Hocus Focus is a desktop companion designed to help you work, study, or relax to soothing tunes. You’re a student in the Transylvanian Institute for Magic - control time and weather, unlock new locations, collect cute Mitzkins, and level up in-game and in real life!

If you loved the Mitzkins in Near-Mage, you can now collect them and keep them as desktop companions, to pet anytime.

Hope you enjoy this chill, cozy trip to Transylvania!
