Peppermint Academy is a Turn-Based-RPG/Visual-novel game. It' set in a modern world urban fantasy setting, with the main location being the Academy. There will be 24 playable characters, and a fully customizable main character. You can make each character unlock new abilities, costumes and dialogues. You will follow a years events in the academy, with more than 9 missions and locations. The main mission locations planned are: Haunted Toystore, Western farm, Gym pool, Noble Mansion, City streets, Moon Club, Glass Pyramid, Forest Onsen, Demon Circus. Each location will have it's own set of monsters and bosses.

The academy is a special place founded by Mr. Peppermint and Zoya, the Demon Queen. The founders did not come from the human world, but from the afterworld, also known as Pandemonium. However, they welcome human, demon, and angel students alike, as the academy's goal is to promote equality among different magical races. In addition, students of any age can study at the academy, and it has a much more flexible system than a typical academy. For instance, teachers can freely attend each other’s classes as students. The main subjects are: Elemental subjects: Terra magic (earth/plants), Ignis magic (fire), Aqua magic (water), Aer magic (wind and lightning), Solar magic (light), Lunar magic (moon, darkness), Spiritual magic (death, souls), and Mind magic (psychic powers). Other subjects: Healing, shield magic, summoning magic, trick magic, blade mastery, and hand-to-hand combat.
