Description
In Town Witch, you play as the young apprentice of a healer in a remote medieval village. Your life revolves around gathering herbs, preparing remedies, and studying ancient grimoires… until one night, as All Hallows' Eve approaches, your master disappears and a dark demonic presence begins spreading through the region.
Each day unfolds at night, the time when your witch abilities can be used. There’s no rush: time only passes when performing meaningful actions, such as collecting an ingredient, reading a book, or preparing a potion. This allows you to plan your night at your own pace, accompanied by your cat… though you must be ready, as you may need to dash at any moment.
Explore the outside in search of ingredients, hidden locations, tombs, and crypts where clues about the demonic presence can be found.
Avoid or face dangers in the form of supernatural creatures lurking in the darkness.
Fulfill villagers’ requests by crafting medicines, potions, and remedies delivered to you each night.
Work inside your home, where you can consult books, mix ingredients in a mortar, distill essences, and expand your knowledge.
Fulfilling requests earns you the villagers’ favor and reduces their suspicion toward you and your master. If suspicion reaches its maximum, you will be arrested and accused of witchcraft. Ignoring requests could give you more time to investigate the demon’s origin… at the risk of losing the villagers’ support.
Potions can be brewed not only to fulfill requests but also for yourself, granting abilities to help you survive: heal wounds, run faster, increase strength, or even face certain enemies. The nightly messenger also allows you to trade for tools, weapons, books, or equipment that aid your work.
As All Hallows' Eve draws near, the barrier between the living and the dead weakens, supernatural activity grows, requests multiply, and dangers escalate. Your ultimate goal: uncover the source of the threat and perform the ritual to banish it before it’s too late.
