Unity - Hogwarts: Magic Lessons [New Year] [Feodosiy]

Hogwarts: Magic Lessons Demo is intended to demonstrate a very ambitious project: a 2D side-scroller sandbox and dating simulator set in a huge version of the magic school from Harry Potter. The developer, Feodosiy, is capable of creating decent art, but what we currently have is merely a showcase of mid-tier visuals followed by a collection of bugs and half-formed ideas glued together in Unity within a project that is clearly very messy. Nothing works properly, and this results in a very poor first impression for a game. I believe a better option would have been to present more screenshots of the artwork, which is clearly the main hook of the project, and patiently polish the software until at least an introductory chapter of the story could be shown. This approach has been successfully used by many other unfinished sandbox games that, at the very least, allow players to enjoy a small portion of the experience and leave them wanting more. As of December 2025, this not-game is completely unplayable and not even translated. Why anyone would create a game without using the global language as the primary option, only to face problems later, is beyond me.

The art is very good.

I have a silly question though... where is the game? Is there even a game?

Why do I have to close the entire game when trying to exit from a menu?

Can I have some context on who we are, why we are here, and what we are supposed to do ?

Why most of the texts are in Russian when I chose english?

Art doesn't do all. And when there is nothing to do, it doesn't do anything.

For version: [New Year] (2nd release)
To me this feels a lot like Innocent Witches, a game that had nothing but good art and thus fell extremely flat when you actually try to do anything more than just use your eyes.
Somewhere between 1 and 2 stars, gave it 1 because although the IW inspiration is clearly there, this game seems to have more on a surface level, but it still doesn't justify 2 stars.

Positives:
Art is good. There is a startup animation of 2 students fucking and there is an animation where Hermione sucks your penis and her head and tongue moves, that's all animation (as far as I know).

Negatives:
Translation is lacking. Ginny is called Jinny in the UI, in text it's just Ginny. First scene (demo?) is only in Russian despite selecting English.
The teaser includes about 3 minutes of content, part of this is a little outfit selector for Hermione, which has 3 outfits from fully buttoned up and long skirt, to visible cleavage and short skirt.
Barebones character viewer. Only thing you can do is make the image larger or smaller, can't pick different clothes anything.
The map has nothing to do. you move left and right through different stages and talk to certain students, these conversations don't lead to anything.


Closing thoughts: Very barebones and it seems that the dev is building a foundation for this project or is using this as a proof of concept. Either wait 30 years before it's completed and fixed or forget about this game completely. The dev's other game (not counting collaborations), Lewd Knight/Sluterella has been in development for 6 years, after a certain point you have to stop and think that it's just used to milk money. That's what I think inspired the dev to make an IW clone.

The translation is broken all over the place.
The game soft froze when attempting to talk with a character.
The controls are clunky and poorly made.
You have to pixel hunt for locations that are intractable.

The art looks decent, but I never got far enough to see anything interesting.

This game need a lot of work before it's worthwhile.

Not much yet, but solid demo. Hermione is always a like for me, and this one is of course heavily inspired, but they do it well so far and i love the art style. The unity tag makes a little worried that most of the future gameplay will be walking between locations and being unable to skip through bulky text as well as renpy, but we'll see.

Holy shit this game is so good, its just the teaser but we waited long enough for a game like this to be released, the animations are smooth the script is fine for a start and the gameplay expirience feels really smooth. The characters are nice and it gives a nice little twisted Hogwarts vibe.

This game has so great animation to start. Just the type of game I have been waiting for. Story is developing nicely. Great script. I find that this is the type of game that people will continue to come back and play over and over.
