"It's your fault for going into debt for a useless degree like Necromancy. You should have gone to business school."

You left wizard school in disgrace. Cast out of magical society, you have only one option to pay off your exorbitant student loans: crime.

Using the unlicensed but probably mostly safe portal generator you found in a mysteriously abandoned tower,  go on heists where you infiltrate and steal from the rich and powerful.

After each heist, you can upgrade and learn spells, brew potions, trade secrets with cats, start a cult, improve your tower, become irrevocably corrupted by Forbidden Knowledge, craft magic items, and do other wizardly things. Just don't take too long before heading out to steal more, because interest is always accruing on your debt and if you don't pay up your creditors will be happy to take your soul instead.

Wizard School Dropout is a magic-focused, turn-based RPG and wizard simulator featuring lots of environmental interaction and spell combinations for a wide variety of playstyles. Do you want to go in loud, blowing holes in the walls with fireballs and incinerating everyone who stands in your way, teleport into and out of safety, or just waltz in and use mind powers to make the guards forget you were even there?
