The Witch’s House, originally released in 2012, falls within the tradition of Japanese horror RPGs with heavy emphasis on puzzle-solving and jump scares. Among other entries in the genre such as Ib and Ao Oni, The Witch’s House surprised fans with pixel-art that conceals truly frightening horror.
The Witch’s House is deliberately designed with traps at *almost* every turn--sudden death is unpredictable and it keeps players on their toes. Anything can happen at any time.

Hello. I'm Fummy, creator of The Witch's House MV.
I'm happy to announce that we're finally ready to release the game.
The Witch's House MV is an RPG Maker MV remake of the original game, which was released back in 2012.
We remade all the graphics, including map tiles and character sprites, and worked hard to enhance the atmosphere and 2D beauty in The Witch's House. It took us five times as many hours to create this version, but we feel like we've finally managed to satisfy ourselves.
Aside from graphical improvements, we also added two new difficulty settings that was not present in the free version.
The first difficulty setting is a more accessible one that allows you to instantly retry. The other difficulty setting is a more difficult one which is only unlocked by those who manage to reach the game's true ending.
If either of these describe you, then we recommend you give this new difficulty a try. You also may be able to uncover some new story bits concerning "her"...
The world of The Witch's House has been reborn anew, and we sincerely hope you'll all enjoy it.

My name is Dan Stern and I’m the Scholar of the First Deal at DANGEN Entertainment (sounds fancy, but it means I work with the devs to get their games released so you can play them).
Japan has a longer tradition in 16-bit horror games because of the variety of games that was released on the Super Famicom. But that wasn’t something I experienced because of growing up in the West. It wasn’t until I discovered The Witch’s House some years ago that I learned 16-bit games can scare me just as well as high-res AAA games made in 3D. I learned that even in pixel-art, horror is possible; it just depends on the creator’s mastery of atmosphere and timing. Fummy-san absolutely has that mastery and as silly as it sounds, I’ve never had so much fun dying a lot in a video game.
I was ecstatic to find out that not only is there a remaster of my favorite indie horror classic, but that DANGEN could help to get that game in front of fans that I know will love it. Playing The Witch’s House MV feels like a totally new experience and I’m sure you’ll have fun with the new content after you finish your first playthrough.
Cheers!

- A horror atmosphere wherein players solve puzzles based on clues found in the house.
- Completely reimagined graphics that make for a beautifully terrifying experience.
- Brand new unlockable difficulty mode with new events and dialogue.
- Violence and gore that are not recommended for the squeamish. Player discretion advised.
- Sudden deaths that lurk around every corner and await every misstep.
- Items must be used deliberately as players solve the puzzles for themselves.
- Fixed save points (just keep an eye out for the talking black cat).
- Game pads are supported and recommended.
- Head phones *strongly* recommended.

Easily my top favorite RPG horror game. I loved it so much. I even went and purchased the physical manga and I also own it for my Nintendo switch. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve played this game before... when I saw that it was playable on my steam deck. I absolutely had to have it just to have it! I love the story. I love the humor. I love the darkness. I love how messed up it is when you get to the end and realize what happened. I love that it’s a continuation from the manga. I just love this game; this is the game that got me into the JRPG style horror games it will always have a special place in my heart. Definitely worth a play through if you enjoy that style of game!
Good game! Spooky atmosphere but yet cozy at the same time, as it usually is from RPG Maker horror games. The story is great and it comes at a huge twist at the end too if you get the true ending. The only thing I wasn't liking, and this is probably a skill issue on my part, are the puzzles at mid/end game. While fun they are fun, and them making sense if you think about it once you complete it, they were challenging to the point where I had to look up solutions online to some of them. Overall, great game! Only pick it up on heavy sale though, as the price is steep if you don't.
Very disappointing. Game keeps locking up and crashing while trying to solve puzzles. Others have reported this from 2018 onwards, not fixed by the developer. How can a pixel game keep crashing and freezing? You try to click an object such as a clock...freezes up...you can hear sound but cant do anything nor press ESC to go to the menu. Keep having to close the game from the start menu. Feel ripped off buying a game that looks good and fun but keeps locking up ever 15-20 minutes... Why was this not fixed So frustrating and annoying Eventually halfway through the crashes stopped, it was just from the start. A frusttating experience for me. I got some of myself but the other half had to keep pauising to look up the solutions. I alwasy take longer with games, i guess i want to take my time. What took others 40-60 minutes took me 2.5 hours. Frustrating messy game. I cant recommend playing this buggy and frustrating game. The deaths are funny however, because you die every time you make a mistake LOL The end was sad :( 5/10 to be fair for a rating but cant recommend it. I finished the game in the end after seeing playthroughs.
pretty short game, bit sad honestly.
Great game, I would recommend this if you want something like Corpse Party.
