CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH SIMON

Just in time for the holidays, the latest update to Simon the Sorcerer Origins brings you, among other improvements, a major new optional bonus content to further flesh out our favorite sarcastic sorcerer's accidental, but no less magical, journey.

DISCOVER THE MYSTERY OF THE FIRST WIZARD

From Chapter 4 onward, keep an eye out for a special item that will set you on the path to even more perplexing puzzles. Many tales speak of the first person to study and wield magic. Help Simon get a bit closer to the truth behind these stories.

PIXELS LIKE IT'S 1993 - ALMOST AUTHENTIC™

We all feel the pull to reconnect with the past from time to time, even Simon. So go ahead and do just that. Swing over to the settings menu and have a look around; you might discover a new feature that lets you give Simon the Sorcerer Origins a makeover, reminiscent of the earlier… or actually future… adventures. It’s complicated.

A New Journey Begins!

Thirty years after his first appearance on the screen, Simon is drawn into a foreign world by an ancient prophecy that will reveal his origins. This world is populated by powerful yet mostly useless wizards and strange creatures. On his journey, Simon must solve a series of tricky puzzles, operate alchemical devices, and learn powerful spells. And yes, he also has to taste a few disgusting stews!
