Hitherto: School of Swordcery and Shieldjuration

Welcome to Hitherto High, his Majesty's Magic School of Swordcery and Shieldjuration! You play as the teacher at this illustrious school, training your students in the ways of magic to prepare them for their final exams!!

This is a turn-based tile-based tactics game. But the goal of each encounter isn’t winning, it’s learning. And each of your students learn in their own unique way. The nerd earns experience from dealing damage, the punk earns experience by tanking damage, and the goth earns experience by healing damage!! Take careful note of each of your students and how they learn best!

With each level-up, unlock new perks to powerup your magic, and your learning methods. If the nerd earn xp for dealing damage, then you can triple your xp if you can manage to splash three enemies at once!! But maybe that takes too much planning, and you should instead settle for only doubling your xp with transmutation.

You play through a series of 9 stages. The ninth stage is your final exam. You must grind enough experience and levels before that ninth level, or you'll flunk out. You can play all 9 stages in less than 2 hours.
