Nov. 2024
Amazing horror game with interesting story, great characters and sound design. There is no jump scares and the horror is based on unsettling atmosphere which permeates the story from the very beginning and till the end. Majority of the gameplay consists from walking around, talking with people and choosing dialogue options, with periodical QTE (which can be turned off in options at any time). I hope that developers will make second part since they left some loose threads and some story lines are clearly not finished.

+ The music + The visuals + PaGanIsM + you can feel like a real witch (Hogwarts Legacy can hold Mildew Children's beer!) + the atmosphere is horrifying yet tempting you to proceed further

Visual novel with a highly original story, great artwork and sound, all creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Game mechanics are a bit obscure but maybe that's for the better, enhancing the mystery! As long as it should be, does not overstay it's welcome. Reminded me of Kentucky Route Zero, but with an entirely different theme, just unexpectedly brought up same feelings.

PROS: [*] Awesome, dark, creepy story. [*] Gorgeous art style and atmosphere. [*] Multiple choices. [*] Stunning sound effects. [*] Chill game play, but it also have some QTE during dialogs to keep you engaged. [*] Unique portraits reflecting the characters' emotions during dialogues. [*] Map + hits for objectives. [*] Deep and rich character development. CONS: [*] Missing voice acting* (they plan to add it in a new patch). [*] Lots of text/ it can get boring if you don't enjoy the story since it's really quiet. [*] Chapter 11 can be a little vague on how to complete it. [*] I don't know if all choices have an impact overall or just lies have. [*] Tons of walking. OVERALL: Awesome game! Once they will add voice acting this will be next level!

Wow, what an awesome story. I find this part of our history interesting, like Salem witches. The dev mentioned upcoming voice overs so I will replay again once the update hits. Also great art.
