Impossible Home is a one-person indie studio getting ready to release its first game, and a date is officially in place. Whimel Academy is currently in Early Access in Steam, and the full release is scheduled for October 24.

Billed as a cozy fantasy time manager, Impossible Home’s debut game puts players in the role of a new student at a school for aspiring mages. Along your six-year journey you’ll need to get to know other students, manage your schedule and inventory and more, and you can see a sample in the new trailer below.
