Yes, a new one.
What sort of thing this one involves I'm not sure, since there are several games about wizards, but hay it's always an interesting subject and I like the idea of court politics plus magic. Needless to say, the game is available in accessible form on Ios, on the choiceofgames website or on androidd, so steam is not necessary at all.  apparently there is also a %25 off sale for the next week for anyone interested in picking up the game.
announcement goes like this:

Sorcery Is for Saps
We’re proud to announce that
Sorcery Is for Saps
, the latest in our popular “Choice of
Games” line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for Steam,
iOS, and Android. It’s 25% off until October 21st!
As an apprentice sorcerer, you should never steal your master’s identity. But what if
that’s the only way to save the kingdom?
Sorcery Is for Saps
is a 200,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Hilari Bell and Anna-
Maria Crum, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—without
graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your
imagination.
Will your powers save the cursed king–or will you turn traitor and seize the throne
yourself? You can probably break a simple kindness curse, but there are dark forces at
work and you may be in over your head before you can say “Abracadabra.”
Throw in your lot with scheming councilors, the attractive heir, or even go to work for
the invaders. But whether you choose to save the king or your own neck, one thing is
clear—this is your big chance!
Magic, power, or true love—which will you choose? In Sorcery Is for Saps, you’ll find
it’s easier than waving a wand.
Be a hero or turn traitor, seduced by a sexy spy.
Play as male or female, gay, straight, or bi.
Steal a rival wizard’s inventions.
Fight the maniacal, mechanical, magical monkey.
Power up for politics, succeed at sorcery, or just get really, really rich.
Trade barbs with your snarky familiar. Or will you kow-tow to a sarcastic ferret?
End up as a sorcerer, a royal councilor, a villain, or a mouse. (Literally. You can
be turned into a mouse.)
We hope you enjoy playing
Sorcery Is for Saps
. We encourage you to tell your friends
about it, and recommend the game on StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, and other
sites. Don’t forget: our initial download rate determines our ranking on the App Store.
The more times you download in the first week, the better our games will rank.

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
