Audio and visuals very well done. Great stopmotion

i get the message and I understand the concept but the gameplay being torture simulator is not a vibe tbqh

Aestheticly very pleasing.

Meaningless game that tries to make some deep message about the horrors of the witch trial, like that isn't something everyone already knows.

Whilst I can appreciate the small history lesson about witch hunting of the 1600s, & the colourful methods of persuasion, the game just feels like a torture simulator. You have to torture them if you want to get information, there's no choice about it. Even when someone tells you something of another with witch you can confront that person with, there's no option to besides torture. Spoken to everyone, they repeat the same dialogue. Tortured everyone once, the mini games are something, but to have to torture them a second time, no use of observation or ability of deduction, it just makes this feel lazy, like the dev/s had no other ideas. If you're into torturing fake people on a screen, go right ahead. Really can't recommend this otherwise.

I adore games that have to do with witchcraft and this was a work of art. Short, yet beautiful. The cutscenes had a breathtaking essence of atmospheric uneasiness, it won me instantly. Regarding the story? I'm just gonna say that we were taught to fear the witches, instead of those who burned them.
