About the Game


Far, far away, there is a Forest, filled with dark things, indelibly influenced by the Witch who lives as distantly as she can from its undulating heart. You are a strand of light, coalesced to nurture the dark.

Create pathways through the darkness in a top-down open world inspired by dark fairytales. Nurture the creatures of the Forest, repair ancient structures, and ultimately: confront the Witch who broke this place.

Witch Strandings dials into the emerging genre of physical transportation. A digital forest that extends beyond the boundaries of your screen, in an all-new Strand-type game.

FEATURES

  • Whether swiping your mouse quickly to move through raging rapids, or inching forward to avoid being swallowed by quicksand, a unique cursor control method makes your journey a physical experience.
  • Carry supplies across a twisting Forest to nurture disturbed creatures.

  • Haunting open world with distinct biomes and a day-night cycle.
  • Activate ancient structures to strengthen your link to the land of the living.

  • Create your own pathways through a cursed and ruined Forest.
  • Use haunted mushrooms, mystical artifacts, and more to alter the world.

  • Kill any character at any time—permanently.
  • Confront the Witch, and decide the fate of the Forest.
  • Make the Forest a better place--or strangle it.
