Magic Academy is another entry in the crowded hidden object sub-genre of
casual games. It was developed by the same Russian company behind the
Mysteryville games, and it recycles the engine used in those games. The plot
is a Harry Potter inspired fantasy mystery set in the titular magic academy.

Besides the usual gameplay mechanics (cluttered screen with a list of objects
that must be clicked), there are some variations and puzzles to break the
monotony: sometimes the screen is spliced in two similar images and the player
has to click on the differences between each side. In other moments, the list
of objects names is replaced by their silhouettes. Some simple jigsaws also
have to be assembled.
