About This Game

The Witch 

is a first-person indie horror game in the adventure genre.

The average playthrough time is 60 minutes.

Hoher Verde

The sudden disappearance of entire villages and settlements is one of the many mysteries of our world. Such incidents give rise to myths and incredible legends that have been passed on by word of mouth for generations. Interestingly enough, the investigation into the case was soon dropped, and the data about the 600 missing residents remained classified - today there is very little information about the settlement, and no one can say with certainty what really happened in Hoher Verde.

Description

An entire village has become deserted for some unknown reason. The eerie atmosphere and strange sounds suggest that you are not alone.

Jesse Grinn, a journalist from an independent newspaper, goes to Hoer Verde to uncover the mystery of the missing people and get to the truth.

Gameplay

You will have to visit a frightening place that holds a lot of secrets.

Beautiful graphics and high-quality 3D-sound will help you to fully penetrate the atmosphere of the game.

I really enjoyed this game! It gives you a sense of freedom walking around the village, which actually looks like an entire village, rather than just a collection of random houses. It looks like the devs put a lot of effort into it, taking care of every art detail. You can even find disturbing things in the houses, which just adds to the story and to the immersion, along with the sound effects and the music, which are well incorporated. The jumpscares are pretty decent, not too many but well placed, just to catch you off guard when you're least prepared. I also have some negative remarks: it's weird how you can't access some of the porches and where there's a door wide open it says it's locked. Also there could be more puzzles to make it more challenging, but maybe that's just a personal preference. Aside from this, I didn't find any bugs and the game runs smoothie. I think it has a lot of potential to evolve into a larger game, both in terms of the story and the world it’s set in. I...

Unfortunately, I don't think I can recommend The Witch based on my playthrough. Pros: Looks and runs quite well on Steamdeck, with some adjustment to resolution, graphics quality and sensitivity (though some fonts remain hard to read); atmospheric, interesting locations; a couple of effective jumpscares; story was just about intriguing enough for me to feel invested in getting to the end. Cons: Incredibly difficult to see anything by the torch's tiny beam, particularly when navigating tight spaces; lack of meaningful events at each checkpoint (it really just felt like I was carrying items from point A to point B, without much happening in between); dialogue loops that overwrite each other and give misleading guidance; no real puzzles or challenges (just finding items etc); awkward item targetting, which can end up selecting items behind you instead of the thing you're looking at; confusing plot events and conclusion. My overriding feeling is that the game felt uneventful and underwh...

Эта игра оставила у меня исключительно положительные впечатления. Скримеры здесь действительно на уровне: они не только внезапны, но и грамотно расположены, что создает постоянное напряжение. Графика впечатляет — каждую деталь локаций проработали с тщательной заботой, что погружает в атмосферу с головой. Музыкальное сопровождение и звуковые эффекты идеально дополняют мрачный антураж, усиливая ощущение ужаса. Особенно мне запомнился момент с лабиринтом — это было по-настоящему жутко. Этот эпизод стал одним из самых напряженных в игре и ...
