Songs of Glimmerwick launched on Windows PC on September 30, 2026. It is a story-driven witch academy RPG from Eastshade Studios, the team behind Eastshade. Here, the key to magic is a flute and a songbook. Songs can change the world around you, not just fill a spell slot on a menu.
You arrive at Glimmerwick already enrolled. Classes, classmates, the university garden and the surrounding island all sit inside a school year with changing seasons. You can customize your student and build skills as the year moves on. As you learn songs, they become useful both in class and on the paths beyond campus.
What can a song do?
A song can summon rain for the garden, speak to trees, enchant tools or raise earth across a blocked path. Eastshade lists those examples of its music-based spells. In the short gameplay clip below, a path rises through a pink forest as the student plays. It is a quick look at how music changes the terrain.
That gives the flute a practical role outside class. If a path is blocked, the right song can move you forward. In the garden, magic helps with watering and other work. The studio also describes skills for gardening and trading, plus an unusual ability to speak to frogs.
What happens between classes?
The academy has narrative quests built around its characters, with fully voiced dialogue. Outside lessons, Eastshade names a band, fishing, seashell diving and forest trips with the Green Sprites. The studio also lists a “Forests and Fairies” campaign with classmates. Festivals, rumors and local drama give students more to do than attend class and tend crops.
Beyond the school garden, the island has town streets, waterfalls and wooded paths. A bridge rises above a waterfall on the way out from campus, while other residents fill the streets nearby. There are people to meet outside class, not just new places to visit.
Where is it launching?
The confirmed September 30 launch is for Windows PC. Eastshade’s current press kit says console versions are planned, but names neither specific systems nor a date. The PC version has English voice acting and text support in eight languages, including Brazilian Portuguese; it does not list voice acting for the other seven. There is no confirmed U.S. age rating to report here.
The game is available on PC now. Its classes, island trips and song-based spells leave plenty for players to discover through the school year.
