Productivity tools with a wand

Checking off a habit for drinking tea earns you experience and coins, same as a long focus session. Focused time levels you up, and each level unlocks new cosmetics and places to explore. The fantasy theme is not decoration on top of a planner: the journal reads like a book, the tasks read like quests, and the whole thing is built to sit quietly in the background while you actually work.

A dorm room worth staying in

Your home base is a dorm room you decorate with hundreds of hand-drawn items, bought with coins earned by focusing and finishing tasks. You also style your student avatar with new hairstyles, hair colours, tops and shoes, and dress up your shadow fox companion to match. The room is only half of it: you can change the time of day and the weather to fit your mood, so a rainy night with snow piling on the windowsills is one click away. Progress toward the setup you want is slow and meant to be earned over weeks of real work, not an afternoon.

Exploring three magical realms

Leveling up unlocks Adventure Mode and more than 60 hand-painted locations across 3 realms, from sunny courtyards to moody winter scenes. Your character travels to each place and settles in, with small life going on around them: people passing by, fireflies drifting over the screen. Weather and time of day change which Mitzkins, small flying creatures, you can find hiding in each scene, and an in-game guide book gives hints for the elusive ones. Flowers and herbs pop up to click and collect, and the herbs go into potions you brew back in your room. The Mitzkins you tame make excellent deskmates.
