About the Game

Environment
The game is set in a Victorian mansion where the player is trapped inside the library. Uncover the mysteries that lie within as you scrounge the area looking for clues on who you are and why you are here. Piece together the lives that once inhabited this place and explore the secrets of this library that is hiding some dark truths.

Storyline
Waking up with no memory of who you are and what you are doing in this place you must solve the mystery of the mansion. 20 years ago the Langley estate was bustling with life and people could not but sing the praises of the family who inhabited the place. This all changed after one terrible night that a fire broke out and all who lived within perished. Today the mansion has still not recovered and lies abandoned until now.

Gameplay
In Hour of the Witch you are defenseless against the terrors that were once asleep but now have awoken due to your presence. You will be solving puzzles and picking up key items to advance your way to the end. In the process you will find valuable information that helps you remember who you are and what you are doing here. But doing all of this may not be so easy as you must be weary of the entity that stalks your every move.
