About the Game

In Town of Cinders you explore a mysterious small town, make difficult decisions, and master the art of witchcraft. Your actions will determine not only your own fate, but also the fate of those around you and how the world will remember you.

Explore an atmospheric world rendered in top-down pixel art

As you wander through the forests and town you gather ingredients, discover forgotten places, and learn new spells. Every encounter could be an opportunity or the start of a conflict.

Shape the world with your choices

Your decisions influence the mood of the residents, the population, and the look of the world itself. The world reflects your unique playstyle, both visually and through the opinions of your residents.

Be Careful

The witch hunter is on the prowl, and residents who suspect you of witchcraft will call him to arrest you. Proceed with caution, because every choice you make affects your relationships.

Plan your days carefully and manage your time wisely

Overcome well-designed challenges, set your priorities and solve all the mysteries before winter arrives. Brew potions, craft ointments, talismans, and traps, and learn magic. Collect rare ingredients, combine them in different ways, and discover the effects your magic has on people and the world.

Meet a variety of unique characters

From suspicious locals and travelers to mysterious figures from the magical world. Each of them has their own goals, and their stories can unfold depending on the choices you make. Friendships create trust, and with some characters, trust can lead to love. Go on dates and form meaningful relationships with lovingly designed characters.

Discover one of over 30 possible endings

Uncover the origins of the witch hunt and reveal well-kept secrets. An event-driven narrative with a limited playtime immerses you in a realm of grand conspiracies, arcane secrets and fantastical myths. Experience one of five possible endings for your character, and many more for the world and characters.

Town of Cinders combines cozy exploration, impactful decisions, and the fascinating world of witches into an atmospheric experience that will stay with you long after you’ve finished playing. A world full of secrets awaits your discovery, but it’s up to you to decide what kind of witch you’ll become and what kind of world you’ll leave behind.
