The Magus Circle — launch hub for Witchlight's magic roguelike

Short answers sourced from the Steam store page and SteamDB.

The Magus Circle hub is built around five launch-status questions, each answered on its own dedicated page so readers can jump straight to the answer they need.

• Release date — released September 24, 2026 on Steam (AppID 2796640); Patches 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.0.3 are live; What changed in 1.0.3 and Known issues cross-link below.
• Demo — no separate demo app on the Steam store page.
• Download — Steam-only install route; how to fix a broken install and why unofficial mirrors are not the right answer.
• Price — $12.99 USD retail with a $11.69 USD introductory offer (10% off) ending October 1, 2026; one base listing, no separate edition tiers currently advertised.
• Platforms — Windows PC at launch, with PS5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile listed as not announced.

Cross-link these pages when a reader needs a single sub-question answered; the homepage is a directory, not the source of truth for any one fact.

The Magus Circle is a magic roguelike built around drawn arcane sigils, run modifiers drawn from a pool of 250+ upgrades, and a familiar-raising loop inside the Magus Mansion. Read the deeper breakdown on the gameplay page, the magic and sigils page for how the casting input works, and the characters page for the six named playable mages (Milk, Macha, Coffee, Anchan, Wheel, Hermit) plus the crazy flower girl unlockable and the 1.0.3 Poppet Master / Matcha-unlock fixes.

If a reader arrives here from a "what is this game" search, the gameplay page is the substantive answer; this section only orients the launch hub.

Reference pages answer hardware, studio, community, and connectivity questions without rewriting the launch-status cluster above.

• System requirements — Windows minimum specs from the Steam store page; macOS and SteamOS+Linux status.
• Multiplayer — single-player confirmation; co-op and online multiplayer status.
• Witchlight — developer and publisher identity, plus what is publicly known about the studio behind The Magus Circle.
• Reviews — where Steam community discussion and subreddit chatter live now that the game has launched.

Readers who want to compare mechanics or find discussion hubs can start at the similar games page, which lists magic roguelikes and sigil-draw spellcasting games that share at least one core cue with The Magus Circle. Steam Community discussions and subreddit threads are surfaced from the reviews page, never treated as primary current-game facts.

Readers should start at the release date page for the launch status and 1.0.3 patch notes, and at the price page for the $12.99 retail and $11.69 introductory offer ending October 1, 2026.
