Set in the 1700s. You are a woman living in a cottage in the forest with your husband and newborn baby. Your husband goes to work in town every day, and you deliver the goods of your farm to neighbors. Your story unfolds over one day, whether you choose to act or not. Most choices, and lack thereof, will result in uniquely branching narratives, letting you tell your own Witch Story. Non-linear, open world, branching dialog, voice acted, simple controls, and tons of easter eggs to discover. A witch doth dwell in yon tangled wood…(Storyline via IGDB)
