The Witch's Isle

It’s a beautiful game with good writing and a neat structure and just enough Adventure Game Logic. Learning how to light the Flint is up there with Nier Fishing Subquest. The story is you gotta solve an island’s mysteries before morning. You have six-in-game hours and gotta learn the towns people’s patterns. I probably played 3 and a half hours and had only missed a path in the world that was pretty well hidden deliberately. Beautiful pixel art. Highly recommend for an evening.

Un bon petit point'n'click avec un concept original. Le gameplay est simple mais l'obligation de faire certaines actions pour faire poursuivre l'histoire est parfois peu intuitive car certains éléments n'ont pas de liens ensemble.

Neat little game with a few flaws. The game has an interesting story and world that is fun to explore. Different endings offer replayability and reveal more of the lore. However, the gameplay gets repetitive because you have to do the same steps over and over again and for the most part in certain order. Its not a game for everyone but I enjoyed it despite its flaws and issues.

I found another underrated masterpiece. There are 8 endings in this game, the best ones have to be the true ending and secret ending (I won't spoil them) The endings are well put together and are definitely not easy to earn in a blind run. The story is really interesting and had me invested and the pixel art is aesthetically nice to look at. please do try this game, its totally worth the $3 price tag.

This is a fascinating and elaborate puzzle adventure game. The pixel art looks sharp, and what really makes it shine is the distinct layered approach taken with it. The environments of the isle are shown in a sort of 2.5D style, with the foreground often taking up the lower portion of the screen, the focal area (main play area), and the distant background in the mid to upper portion of the screen. In certain parts of the isle, you can see distant areas as part of the background and a fun little detail is, when other people begin roaming about and visiting those areas, you can see them there. In fact, if you notice this, it can help you in one of the game's puzzles. Overall the game's puzzles are mostly well done, but there are a few where it begins to feel like they may have relied on the built-in hint system a little too much, as I'm not sure how you would figure them out otherwise. Others have that unfortunate element of the game's visual design and lack of interactive details to guide one colliding, where you can overlook certain areas existing at all as they're a little too well-hidden. Finally there's one step where, and thankfully this is tucked in the game's hidden chapter, you eventually know what to do, but there's one more little interaction to it so that the game's characters know and recognize the situation so you can move forward. The story is compelling enough that it kept me interested to see through to the True Ending. However, the ending comes across a little as though they weren't entirely happy with the idea that you might figure it out before the True Ending, so they toss in some last ditch twists that I don't think land very well. They're interesting tries, but there wasn't enough from any of the dialogue or items, at least as I understood them, to feel like they really earned their place in the story. Instead of being a, "Whoa, cool!" twist they're more like a, "Wait, did I miss something?" sort of last minute twist. Nevertheless, it doesn't diminish the overall experience, and the hidden chapter, despite a couple of awkward puzzles, adds a fun, different angle to the story. It's a solid game, well worth a play if you're into puzzle/adventure games.

This game is so fun. There's lots of layers to the story and multiple endings so you have to keep replaying it. Each time you do, you uncover a little more to the story! Very unique.

I recommend this game a lot! I think it has a very interesting story and it's honestly worth more than it's priced at. It is a beautiful game with a very compelling story. I finished the main game but I have not finished the "secrete game," but the fact they have this alternate route is very fascinating. Most of the gameplay is talking to a lot of people and trying to parse information and you will have to replay the game a few times until you are able to win. I appreciate that when you lose, you still keep your progress because I would've to have been super annoying to have to start from 0. That being said, keep that in mind if that's not the type of game you like. Another thing is that there are multiple endings so that could be cool for people who enjoy that, I mostly stop once I get the "true ending", but you can try to get all the endings if you enjoy that. One critic I have about the game is that the layout of the town is hard to understand and it took me some time to climb the bell tower, the camp, and some other things that were hard to find. The following other people's gameplay was cool but sometimes you would have to wait for the person to finish the cycle which can be a bit annoying due to the time limit. Overall though, this is a really great game and I would recommend you, anyone, to check it out!
