A relatively brief game about witches in Scotland, October 28, 2022

by MathBrush
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This game has a brief intro about the history of Witches in Scotland, and then lets you wander around several areas with an inventory of items, taking on different quests and trying to help people while avoiding suspicion of being a witch.

This sounds like a great setup, but all of its a bit thin. Inventory doesn't really get used much, maybe once or twice. I looked around a bunch but only found one of the quests that I could finish. (I looked at the code and see I should be able to finish the other, and other reviews seem to have managed it!) There are some spelling problems (the author says it's not their native language, which is very understandable). After a while, my game just ended the day; I think it might be on a timer? And it assigned me some points.

So, overall, some good ideas, but it felt like it could be more fleshed out, I think. It had a lot of clever concepts that just didn't feel like they got fully used, to me.

Hello,

Thank you for playing my game and leaving the review! It is true, I am more a fan of short games, and this was no exception. The game/day finishes not at the timer, but when all the possible ways to open next "missions" are cut off because of the player's choices. In the walk-through there is a hint on the order of actions that may open another missions.
I am a bit sad I didn't catch all the spelling mistakes, will work on it!

Hopefully you will like my next game more :)
