Imagine one fine day, you wake up, open your phone, and are attracted by a game with an icon of a cat wearing a graduation cap, eyes sparkling as if hiding a plan to dominate the world of magic. You click on it. You download the game. And just like that, without warning, your life turns to the profession of… principal. Yes, exactly! In the game Cat Magic School: Cute Tycoon that I am about to introduce, you are the head of a magical cat academy, where cats can speak human language, learn spells, and have the ability to burn down the lab if you neglect to upgrade.
Introduce about Cat Magic School : Cute Tycoon
Cat Magic School: Cute Tycoon is a simulation game where you play the role of the headmaster of a magic school for adorable cat students. Your task is to manage and grow the school from a small establishment to a globally renowned magic academy. You will build classrooms, hire excellent teachers and offer a variety of magic courses to train cats to become wizards.
First day as principal at Cat Magic School : Cute Tycoon
As soon as you open Cat Magic School : Cute Tycoon, you are greeted by Luna, a bespectacled, serious-looking cat assistant. Luna doesn’t make you laugh, nor does she offer you a cup of tea. Luna gets you straight to the business. “This is the school, these are the students, this is where you need to build your classroom. Don’t ask too many questions, just do it.”
Now you realize: the school is old, the walls are cracked, the classroom has only a blackboard and a few chairs. The cat students are standing in long lines like they are waiting for dumplings. The first task: build a basic classroom. The name sounds innocent, but the truth is that you will build many classrooms: wind magic class, fire magic class, water magic class, even a healing class.
Resource management
That’s right, even if you teach magic, you still have to collect money. Your magic school operates as a profitable business model. You collect tuition from cat students, using that money to upgrade your classroom, hire teachers, unlock skills, and research new spells. In fact, the more you upgrade your school, the more chances you have to earn Catnip Coins and Crystal Fish – the two main currencies in Cat Magic School: Cute Tycoon. Crystal Fish in particular are valuable, and are often used to buy high-value items, such as upgrading S-rank teachers or opening legendary classes.
Cat magic teacher recruitment
At Cat Magic School, cat teachers are ranked from C to S, each with their own skills and student stats bonuses. Some specialize in fire magic, teaching fire classes very quickly. Some have the ability to inspire students to study tirelessly.
You get to hire teachers through a gacha system, which is a random draw. I opened a card once and got Professor Whiskers, an old cat in an owl hat who can increase the learning speed of all classes in his area of effect by 15%. Sounds like a cat Dumbledore.
School cat
You think student cats are obedient? No way. These little ones are cute, but they can also be lazy, fall asleep, study forever without leveling up, or forget to… do their homework (shown in the game by their dropping academic performance). Luckily, you can use items like magic pens or focus lights to help students learn faster.
In addition, each student has a metric called Graduation Chance. If you upgrade your classes too early without upgrading your teachers, this rate can drop, causing students to never graduate from school. Your school will then be as jammed as a bus stop at rush hour.
Hidden story
Beneath the idle tycoon facade, the game also has a light but very engaging storyline. Accordingly, you are not just a principal for the sake of it, you are chosen to lead the cat academy to fight against a dark force that is spreading evil magic to the world. Occasionally, you will unlock story chapters, with talking cats, telling the mysteries surrounding the “Dark Cat Order” – a group of villainous cats who are secretly doing something very… shady.
These evil cats don’t fight you directly, but they will affect your school’s stats, such as increasing operating costs, lowering student morale, or demotivating teachers. You’ll have to build special research labs to counteract their negative influence, while also working to increase your “Light Magic” stat – the only thing that can dispel darkness (sounds a bit like Harry Potter 5, huh?).
Idle gameplay but not really idle
Despite being an idle game (meaning it can be played offline), Cat Magic School is anything but boring. You still have a lot to do: arrange your schedule, choose the right teacher, monitor your students’ progress, research new spells, upgrade your facilities, and occasionally have to deal with incidents like “the magic furnace burns down”, “magic books are stolen”, or “the cat suddenly loses its mind from over-studying” (this incident is real, the game even suggests using “Cat Flower Tea” to cure it!).
