Game #1 - Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate

A HEAVY DOSE OF NOSTALGIA.
GENRE: WIZARD BOY, PARODY, EXPLORATION, THIRD PERSON SHOOTER
Iām excited to announce another game by the genius Szymanski brothers!
Theyāve brought us Dusk, Iron Lung, My Friendly Neighborhood, Squirrel Stapler and The Pony Factory.
When I was younger I was addicted to the Harry Potter PC games.
They are some of my all time favorite games and a huge reason why I love video games.
The Szymanski brothers have created a hilarious parody of the series that allows you to play as a secret agent wizard spy who must topple Grumblemortās evil crime synidicate.
You must learn spells and espionage tactics to complete your missionā¦
Alternatively, you can just use these skills to terrorize the school for fun!
Best of all, you can cause chaos with other Wizard boy friends in multiple co-op.
Itās expected to release sometime this month. :)
