Eastshade Studios’ magical adventure/RPG Songs of Glimmerwick launching this year

Eastshade Studios, the indie studio behind the critically acclaimed Eastshade, have just released a new trailer for Songs of Glimmerwick

Four years after the initial reveal of this anticipated story-driven RPG, the studio is delighted to announce that Songs of Glimmerwick is coming to PC this year (and consoles soon after). A demo is coming to Steam on April 7th, but preview codes are already available!

Songs of Glimmerwick’s magic academy is set in a woodland fantasy world where playing music is the secret to casting spells! With your trusty flute and songbook at your side you'll attend classes and join after school clubs, make friends with classmates and townsfolk, and uncover Glimmerwick's many oddities and mysteries. Following in the footsteps of the studio’s previous adventure Eastshade, in which players interacted with the game world through art, in Glimmerwick every song carries its own magic.
