About this game
Story
Alexis is a simple girl in a world of magic, where Mancers, mages who protect the last remnants of mortalkind, learn & excel at their magical craft. A purely self-taught mage through online tutorials & how-to guides, Alexis is an underdog with no magical ancestry entering the academic life of her dreams, meeting all sorts of colourful personalities & strange dangers along the way.
At the heart of these dangers is the Flood: a world-ending catastrophe that submerged most of the world in miles of arcane seas made of pure primordial chaos, transforming & corrupting everything in it. Only Mancers are able to enter the Flood, wearing specialised (and figure-hugging) skinsuits that allow them to survive the deep, to hunt its corrupted denizens & retrieve clues of their fallen civilisations.
Genres
Visual novel, ADV, romance, comedy, yuri, ecchi, fantasy
Features
30+ manga-style CG art at various points in the story
Duration: 3-4 hours (on auto-read)
A lore-filled fantasy setting of mages finding & harvesting the ruins of a flooded world
Achievements
Romantic/lewd scenes
Alexis always wanted to become a Mancer: a mage defending mortalkind from the many dangers surrounding it. But even all her training will barely prepare her for the arcane adventures to come.
When she arrives at the Travelling Tower, expecting a simple initiation, she is immediately thrown into the Flood: a deadly magical trial filled with twisted monsters, cultists, and who knows what else!
Accompanying her is Clary, a quiet elf girl with a gentle soul, and Sage, her boneheaded twin brother, along a cast of other strange personalities awaiting her at the Tower!
This short standalone VN is the introduction to the story of MANCER: a world of dead divinities, great floods & mages in bodysuits.

Mancer: Prelude Now Free to Play!
As covered in our previous dev post, Mancer: Prelude is now available to play for free! Our hope is to reach a wider audience for Mancer & our projects as a whole! We want to dedicate this artwork as a simple display of our appreciation to our fans who've supported us this far. Many thanks, and stay tuned for our next installment!Read full article on Community Announcements (DMaster)AnnouncementsOfficial
MANCER: Prelude Will Soon be Free!
Hey all! We at TeamSummoner wanna give you all a proper heads-up.Mancer: Prelude will be going free starting from 26 May 2026, a week from now, after much discussion & back and forth between us two devs.The main reason is that we want Prelude to be the real starting point for new people getting into Mancer. It makes more sense as an entry point into the world and series, and making it free gives more people a chance to check it out first before jumping into the bigger releases later. This is also in anticipation of the next Mancer episode, which is still in development!Making Prelude free will also free us up to promote the game's content more openly online, whether through screenshots, clips and the like, building interest for a wider audience in the Mancer setting & our games.So this isn't throwing Mancer: Prelude by the wayside, but prepping it up as the front door to the rest of Mancer’s world & characters! This is all part of our larger plans to properly promote & improve Mancer & our projects for our fans.At the same time, we absolutely don’t want to forget the people who bought Prelude early and supported us when it was still paid. During the transition date, we'll dedicate a thank-you art piece as a small gesture of our appreciation. Thanks for sticking with us.— Team SummonerRead full article on Community Announcements (DMaster)
