| If you ask students at London University about Wenlock College, the nicest reaction you will receive is a dismissive smirk. No one has ever heard of it until they arrive on university premises, where it is universally presented as a nuthouse. Nor do its students do much to alleviate this impression, walking around in odd clothing and referencing such made up people as Waffling and Dumbledore rather than Nietzsche or Derrida. Fortunately, these oddballs keep almost entirely to themselves—no one can remember a Wenlock student ever being in one of their courses or dormitories. That is, until this year. All of a sudden, Wenlock students are enrolled in introductory chemistry courses, and literature, and philosophy, and anthropology—and worst of all, they seem to not even understand the very basic principles that other university students learned well before their A-levels. When they mutter about Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration in the middle of a physics lecture, or chuckle to each other over a history lesson on the witch burnings of the Middle Ages, students at London University have to wonder: just what do they teach at Wenlock College? Feigning is a next-generation, post-Hogwarts Harry Potter game focusing on the struggles of wizarding university students who find themselves suddenly required to take Muggle courses—without breaking the Statute of Secrecy. Opens 6 July. |
