1711 Ireland: A Witch's Fate

[strike] The tutorial asks the player to pick up three objects.[/strike] [strike] You can only pick up two. [/strike] [strike] You can't even get past the tutorial. This is Superman 64 level of game play.[/strike] [strike] I really wanted to play this game. I really wanted to enjoy it. But, unless they bring out a patch or some form of guide, the game is banjaxed.[/strike] I had downvoted this game, but they fixed the bugs when alerted within a few hours. Plays well and is educational; horror is hinted at. My granddad worked on the Gobbins (on Islemagee) in the 50s while on an outdoor relief project. A lot of ghost stories from up there, and this [i] feels [/i] like the stories he told. Gameplay is a visual novel/walking sim. However, it is a very well-put-together one.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the story, really felt like I was walking around a proper Irish village at times. Had some minor bugs with dialogue but overall very good, short story game

It's a walking sim, and takes about an hour to play (no save system, so do set aside at least an hour). I have a few gripes with this game but overall it is worth every penny for being a unique slice of Ulster history with some great atmosphere and environments. If you don't care about the historical aspect and are just eyeing this up as a "spooky witch game" your mileage may vary.

Doesn't work. Unfortunately an item you need to pick up in the first 5 minutes can't be picked up, locking progress.
