WayForward has partnered with developer Last Dimension to bring Mystik Belle, its hybrid of a classic point-and-click adventure and a modern metroidvania first released for PC (Steam) in 2015, to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October in North America and Europe for $14.99.
The updated release will feature a revised storyline and “silky smooth frame rates.”
Here’s an overview of the game, via WayForward:
About
Trouble is brewing at the Hagmore School of Witchcraft, and only freshman witch-in-training Belle MacFae can put things right.
As Belle, you must seek out the three crucial ingredients of the Walpurgisnacht Brew, which means investigating the school’s colorful 2D landscapes in a quest that combines elements of nonlinear, exploration-based action–platformers and classic object-oriented adventures.
As you traverse the labyrinthine school’s catacombs, laboratories, dungeons, and forests, you’ll use everything from a sledgehammer to a fish head to solve numerous puzzles.
And when you aren’t testing your grey matter, you’ll put your wand to use against a variety of impressively animated enemies, including spooky spiders, pesky plants, and rambunctious rodents.
Can your mind and magic overcome the myriad mysteries, or will this quest spell defeat for the unfortunate Belle?
