Winter Witch

Short and sweet exploration and crafting game. P.S Check the outside of the cottage after finishing the game, you might find something.

Winter Witch is a fun, cozy, little slice of gaming. It did not take long to complete, and was charming throughout it's entire runtime. This was a breath of fresh air after work for a couple of evenings. Thank you, Solar Vagrant!

This was such a good little game! I had so much fun with the demo that I bought it straight away. The art, sound track and design are so cozy and well thought out. Its a gorgeous little cozy adventure to explore the woods and pet the cat. I cant say much without spoilers but it took me an hour to complete and I love it so much I will be recommending to everyone and I want a sequel. FANTASTIC 10 out of 10 pies!

Its a cute short story game :3 i liked it a lot. controls only use keyboard input no mouse/cursor functionality but it wasnt that bad. gameplay is very forgiving theres really nothing you can do wrong besides making progression take a while longer. other than that its a cute game :3

short little game with cute characters. its very kind about travelling, offering fast travel points, a speed boost item, and a return to base button, so you can get more done in a day using all of the above. the art direction is also nicely done, and i really liked the dynamic tree shadows for telling the time.

What if you were a little witch exploring a storybook forest but the trees were so soothing to look at? Venture forth, gather items, get back home for bedtime and craft items to get a little further next time. Look at those trees. They are nice!

What a lovely little game. Very polished with a lovely aesthetic. The gameplay is simple, the tasks are pleasant, and while you have a limited number of hours in the day, you have infinite days. Pet the cat, have some tea, and go out to explore the winter witch.

Winter Witch is a game where you have to frantically collect as many resources as you can, juggling ingredients for a variety of recipes, all before a countdown timer ends the day and sends you home for the night. While this seems like a setup for an incredibly stressful game, Winter Witch somehow managed to remain quite the opposite! The game felt calm and cozy the whole way through. The graphics, music and animations were all designed to drive home this warm and fuzzy feeling. Resources were scarce enough that I had to think about what I needed, but plentiful enough that I could always gather the desired amount. Resource collecting never felt grind-y, and despite being on a timer I never felt rushed. Winter Witch did feel a but lacking in terms of puzzles. The basic gameplay loop was "explore until you find new ingredients, make the recipe that is unlocked as a result, explore new area unlocked with said recipe." The hand-holding even goes so far as to tell which item you have can clear the selected obstacle. The only real puzzle came at the very end, in very last area that you explore. My biggest complaint was that the game never told me the button to open my inventory. I knew there must have been another menu somewhere, because I couldn't figure out how to eat/drink food. I tried all the usual buttons; "esc", "i", "enter", "x". No luck. Meanwhile, I kept grumbling to myself about how the game badly needed a visible inventory and perhaps a map. Finally, after getting more than halfway through, it occurred to me that the elusive button was probably listed in the game's "controls" option on the main menu. There I discovered that the button in question was "space bar". This brought up a menu that had everything I was looking for: inventory, map, and most importantly, a way to eat/drink food. Oh well. Better late than never. Despite these minor critiques, Winter Witch was still an extremely enjoyable experience! It was clearly made with a mood-first mentality, and the mood was spot-on. If you have a few hours of quiet late at night with a warm cup of tea, definitely give this game a go! (also, hurry up with Door 4!)
