Ultra-short but exceptionally atmospheric detective story. Visuals, music, lighting - absolutely stunning. Atmosphere is rather scary and dreams are very disturbing. Both the story and gameplay seem rather simple. There is a witch and you are a witch hunter. Within few days, the witch must be uncovered and executed. The goal seems rather clear. You are talking with the locals, collecting important information, trying to make some conclusions... but at certain moment it becomes evident that just with talking you won't get anywhere. Now you realise that it is time to use another weapon in your arsenal - tortures. Yes, tortures definitely will give you all the answers. Not just the answer you need, but any answers you want. The story, and especially it's ending, initially may seem rather confusing. But after you replay the game few times and the more you think about it - you realise that actually it has sense. While the ending is kinda unexpected, it absolutely fits time and place and I...

Okay after accusing and torturing everyone in the village I finally, FINALLY understand the game's real story. It's not about finding the witch at all, it's about finding the "evidence" that serve the Witch Finder's narrative; a.k.a finding a "witch", execute them, and get paid. A commentary about making sure everything fits your ideal. Dang this is far more interesting than I thought. Kudos!

a beautiful piece of media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i luv torturing homophobic priests!! also liked that it dinnae even matter who the witch was, bro was just in it for the bag

They swim... the mark of Satan is upon them. They must hang.

I'm in absolute awe of this experience. It is short and meaningful. Beautifully crafted and, to my surprise, uses that sweet language of film to create some stunning cutscenes. I cannot recommend this little game enough!!!

More of a story/art experience, but good for what it was. Can be completed in about 30ish minutes, but for $1 or $2 I can't complain.

You liked The Witch (2015) ? Go for it it's short and the atmosphere is top notch

A short detective game that forces you to question your own role in the investigation. The static art, stop-motion videos, and music are worth the price, alone.

A short but exceptionally crafted detective game where you must uncover which of six unsettling villagers is the witch. Set in a late 17th-century Scottish village, the oppressive art style and eerie atmosphere create a deeply immersive and chilling experience. Each character has secrets to hide, and uncovering the truth sometimes requires a heavy hand. But in the end, one witch must hang.

Really short but really great game with an amazing artstyle
