First off, let me say that I am open-minded and generally like to support indie games, because hey, you never know when the next good game is coming along. I bought Witan because I thought the graphics were beautiful and I was intrigued by having a young female protagonist in a fantasy game who didn’t look overtly powerful. I thought that this game would be story-driven and one where you could rely on your wits instead of bashing skulls open with a sword. The story has a strong opening that many young women could relate to: you are a girl in the company of a baron who has made unwelcome advances on you. You rejected him and he accused you of being a witch, which in this game, is a death sentence. This is pretty much explained in the first minute of the game. It had a lot of potential and could have branched off in many different directions from there. However, this is where the inadequacies of the game start coming to light. First off are the controls. They are very clunky and not w...

About This Game
Would you accept it, or would you fight?
What would you stoop to in order to protect yourself?
Witan is an oldskool rpg that goes for the simplistic gameplay mechanics, but not the "retro look" (unless you want). It's fully 3D.
You are a young woman (perhaps correctly) accused of being a witch, by one of the local barons, and that is a death sentence.
In order to survive, you need to improve your standing, tool up, and indeed become a potent witch.
The gameplay is quite simple, but your hand is not held. Do not expect your objectives to glow in front of you, or indeed dangers to be obvious.
Persevere, there is a way, a method, and a story, but it's not going to leap out and scream at you.
Features:
It's Pretty (in a grim way).
Nice landscape with day/night cycles (again, in a grim way).
It's only slightly silly: no copper bras, etc.
Mixture between oldskool (choice driven/find stuff) game play and 3D walk/run around.
You can jump (for no apparent reason).
Save your game (although you'll have to find out how)
Shops (which you'll also have to find)
Enemies (which you'll have no problems finding)
Approx 2 Hrs game play (If you're a god, and a lucky one at that), much more if you're a mere mortal.
Some really odd stuff that probably shouldn't be there (you'll find it).
A RetroVision setting for the pixel purists, and Gamma adjust (for those who just can't see anything :)).

Game's idea is good. Graphics are OK. Controlling is terrible. It reminds me very first 3d games of PlayStation one. But, that's also not problem. The major problem is game is too complex and contains too much mystery. Actually, think about someone taking you back to a small medieval age's town as a little girl. That's it, if you want me to tell you what's the game story, or what did I understood so far. I played Witan 4 hours and I still not understood much things yet. Here some points that i've figured out; *Peasants are BAD! They will always attacked you. Don't get close to them. (Except inside of buildings.) *There 4 town "Greyhame" (the town you started), "Wotansburgh", "Cloakshame", and "Ravensford". There is also sign showing the way of "Thurswood". But couldn't find that place/town. *When you walk to the lake. An angel came and guide you to teleporter. (There are some kinds of creatures in the lake. Follow or Die situation.) *Wishing to the well g...
Very bizarre, not sure if it is actually good. Recommended for the weirdness.
A glitchfest, Can't save keybinds, windows arrow will remain locked at the center of the screen during gameplay. As soon as you leave the town either a wizard or a monk will attack you from kilometers away. And run faster than you. Making exploration impossible. (wizards will have one of the best weapons equipped, you can't defeat them) Getting stronger depends on finding money hidden on single-use coffers. which can't be done thanks to the fact that there are wizards everywhere to hunt you down before you find anything. The only good thing is that pressing the ESC key allows you to kill yourself. A feature you will want in real life after buying this. Don't let the "good revieiws" fool you, Stay away from this game.
this is a great game and I recomend it to anyone who likes hard rpg games
This game is meant to punish you no matter what its fun but really hard so be prepared
Good Lord, played for exactly five minutes and immediately hated it. Wonky controls, terrible graphics, can't even change the resolution. Hit esc to try to mess around with settings and apparently commited suicide instead. Thank God it was free or else I'd be a lot angrier. 0/5
As soon as I started playing this game I realized it wasnt going to be a game for me. Feels like it belongs in the early 1990's. No run, just sneak and hide. Choppy movements. Quick install & quick uninstall.
