Description

You and group of girlfriends over at IQ-centric Academy have signed a pact to a startup-higher-power and have formed a team of magical girls to fight evil, all in the name of... desperately trying to pay off your student debt in a now oversaturated Magical Girl industry. The first few gigs haven't nearly been fruitful, with low payout and not an interesting plot hook, but this time your mascot mentor may have gotten in over their head as they booked you in to foil the dastardly plot of GID, the infamous black hat bedroom coder who claims he can hack reality with his Pantheon Rig. Don't question it. Everyone, even the main villain has to struggle with the question of when they'll get their next pay cheque.
