About

Featuring a blend of 2D adventure and visual novel, The Mildew Children is a grim tale about a village inhabited only by children who follow savage pagan traditions. A young witch named Kyrphel and her sisters are bound to perform a macabre Ritual in order to save their village. A witch's demise during the ritual is not unusual, since not all can triumph over the Mistress of Death. But Kyrphel is strong enough to handle it. Or so she thought.
Combining the elements of fairy tale and horror, the story draws on pagan folklore and ancient beliefs. Accompany Kyrphel and her friends in this grim, beautifully hand-drawn adventure game. Take part in the Ritual and discover the secret of the village, interact with peculiar villagers, bewitch, and overcome the affliction that haunts the young sorceress.

- A mysterious tale that spans across 12 chapters
- Over 8 hours of narrative and gameplay combining investigations, puzzles, quick-time events (QTE) and multiple-choice dialogues.
- More than 30 unique locations: the village streets, the tangled paths of the forest thicket, the burial ground, as well as unique interiors - from old battered huts to magnificent chambers.
- A series of tough decisions that will force you to think twice about how you proceed - will you go against ancient traditions or follow them to the end?
- 10 characters with a detailed personality and story, 100+ of unique portraits reflecting the characters' emotions during dialogues. Numerous side characters Kyrphel would have to interact with in order to fulfill her goals.

This game is good. The story and setting are fantastic. It is a bit hampered by the writing. Either they lean into the style too much or it’s just poor English translation but some lines are near intelligible. Still I recommend it.
Интересная игра, для любителей жанра. По скидке норм.
Прошел после Сестры Рэй. Неплохо, но после прохождение возникло ощущение, что в игре слишком много недосказанности (или даже недоделанности). Хотелось бы, чтобы и мир, и персонажи были проработаны детальнее. Особенно персонажи. Честно говоря, я до конца надеялся, что местные верования и обычаи будут как-то объяснены, пусть даже твистом в духе Таинственного леса Шьямалана, но нет. Геймплей тоже немного разочаровал. Прикольной нелинейности из Рэй нет. Чтобы получить хорошую концовку, нужно выполнить кучу неинтуитивных условий. QTE способны выбесить. Впрочем, если вам понравилась Рэй и хочется чего-то похожего, но фэнтезийного, попробовать стоит.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Начну с того, что похвалю игру за шикарную рисовку и втягивающий нарратив с вайбом славянских поверий и традиций. Мы играем за ведьмочку по имени Кирфел, и вот так задача, ей нужно провести ритуал, дабы спасти свою деревню, в которой то не очень-то жалуют ведьм. У игры своеобразный фольклор, состоящий из шизо-предрассудков по поводу ведьм XVI-XVII веков. Я дам себе волю поругать игру, за то что она буквально заставляет тебя запоминать текст, дабы ты его потом в ветках диалога выбирал, что довольно душит моментами. Хотя это как ругать книгу за то, что я её читать должен. В общем, учитывайте, что придется быть внимательным. А так игра в своем роде прекрасна
10/10 убитых смертей 🚬
10/10, шедевр от мира работ, вдохновленных общеславянским фольклором И помните, жизнь - кольцо, а у кольца нет конца
ВСЁ ГУД ГУД , но как бы я не шёл к хорошей концовки , всё ровно плохая выпала , ♥♥♥ обидно
Понравилось абсолютно всё от и до. Благодарю всех, кто участвовал в создании этой игры
Хотелось бы мне забыть и вкусить эту историю вновь. Такие игры не попадаются сплошь и рядом.
Just waste of my time.The story is incredibly poor, the speech patterns in the game are incredibly strange, making it difficult to comprehend. I'd say the story or characters are interesting, but no, there's no depth to the plot. You also have to memorize meaningless poems, which makes it even more difficult to complete, and you have to take pictures of the text... come on. Getting to the good ending intuitively is difficult, and impossible without a guide. Even the normal ending wasn't explained in detail, just dropped, like, thanks for the game, goodbye.. I cant recommend this game, sorry
