About this game

On your birthday, a grey pigeon in a tiny purple hat lands on your windowsill with a letter. It has your name on it. Nobody has ever written to you before...

The Wizard Who Almost Wasn't is a six-chapter, choose-your-path storybook for young readers. You are the hero: write your name, open the book and decide what happens next. Will you wait for the third knock at midnight? Tell a joke at the Bank of Crows? Keep your parents' letter sealed until the Great Door?

Every page is written out in flowing handwriting while a friendly voice reads it aloud, and every page has its own painting. Some choices lead to wonderful discoveries. Others lead to "That is not how this story should go." Then you simply try again.

MADE FOR CHILDREN
Designed for readers aged 6 to 12, and for anyone who loves a good story. There is no chat, no sign-in and there are no in-app purchases. While a chapter is being read, the game shows one small banner ad from Google AdMob; the ads are child-directed, non-personalized and suitable for general audiences.
