DNF This is actually hard to thumbs down, because I totally recognize that this just isn't the game [i]for me[/i]. I can absolutely see how it would work for others, because the idea is fine and the style of the game is great. But the [i]grind[/i] just isn't for me. The constant backtracking and jumping through hoops for one very specific item, only to have to do it all again 20 minutes later is just not fun actually. Or, not fun enough for me to compel me to keep going. I collected the first 4 souls, but the idea of doing essentially the exact same loop twice more is just not enticing. Also, I guessed how the sleeping girl was going to tie in the first time she was introduced so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But again, this is just me. You should definitely not take my word for it if you think you might like it. YMMV.

This is such a visually stunning game, and I very much enjoy the Witch as the protagonist. Her matter-of-fact, no-nonsense nature was a joy - she's too old for all this drama, and it's delightful. She was my favourite part of the game. This is a crafting game, so of course I was prepared to gather materials all the time, but the more complex recipes were a bit tedious when you needed them frequently. Still, I made sure to always stock back up on ingredients whenever I used them, so for the most part, I managed to stay on top of my resource management. Someone less inclined to explore and backtrack might find it a little grating, though. Overall, the game was a very fun and captivating experience, and I enjoyed my time with it a lot.

Wanted to like this game, know many people who liked/would like this type of game, but it's just not for me. Cozy and cute art, but the gameplay loop at the end of the day, for me, feels like a puzzle through items/grinding

This is the only game ever who made me feel like a fairytale witch. I cannot explain to you how much I love this underrated gem.

while this game is not challenging by any means and has no replay value, it had a really enjoyable narrative with interesting characters (including the main one) and a gorgeous art style. that being said, i only recommend getting it (and on sale) if you are a chronic hoarder in games or you will likely find it way too grindy.

I have really enjoyed this game. I first played it on my Switch and I wanted to replay so I bought it on Steam. It took me a total of 10 hours to complete the game this time. I really enjoy the witchyness of the game with collecting components to make different magical items, potions, or spells to progress the story. I also loved the story. It felt different and the ending honestly surprised me. I had all kinds of theories, but I was wrong on all counts and I loved that. There are 0 missable achievements as they're all tied to the story. I would love a sequel game. Maybe someday. <3

great game with a beautiful art style. good mechanics, exploration of unique biomes with good puzzle elements too. gorgeous witchy folk vibes

very chill, gameplay loop is pretty repetitive but i enjoyed collecting as much stuff as i could just to have virtually everything i'd need later on, then doing the story, then back to mass collecting, so on and so forth. i come back to it after a long while of not playing and it feels fresh again. tl;dr it's chill, calming, can get repetitive, still two thumbs up from me

Distraught that this was not longer as I had an amazing time playing this. The artwork, story line, and game play is incredible, highly recommend for those looking for a structured game with lots to see and do. Creating the items for the missions allowed for more exploration and allowed for a feeling of joy knowing the items you had randomly been picking up along the way were finally going to get used. 10/10 from someone who is not a big gamer

Its a short game, but quite enjoyable. I like the main character's attitude, the dialog is witty, and it feels like you are a witch doing witchy things.
