"Veneficium: A witch's tale" is maybe a student project or something... it's a short third person platformer where you control a witch and do some puzzles/fetch quests and... yeah that's about it. There's a slew of bugs and control/collision issues that are unaddressed, but at least this isn't a 2D retro pixel RPG Maker asset flip. It's nice to see genuinely made games on Steam, and they shouldn't be as rare as they are! The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 30 minutes. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing …

Игра "Veneficium: A Witch's Tale" - это очаровательное приключение с красивой пиксельной графикой. Сюжет, хоть и прямолинейный, увлекает историей юной ведьмы, стремящейся доказать свою ценность. Геймплей прост, но увлекателен, сочетая в себе элементы point-and-click и головоломок, связанных с зельеварением. Особенно понравилось атмосфера игры - спокойная и немного меланхоличная, подкрепленная приятным саундтреком. Мир игры ощущается живым, а персонажи, хоть и немногочисленны, запоминаются. Из минусов можно отметить отсутствие русской локализации, что может стать препятствием для некоторых игроков. Также, хотелось бы больше глубины в системе зельеварения и влияния принятых решений на сюжет. В целом, "Veneficium: A Witch's Tale" - это достойная игра для тех, кто ищет короткое, но приятное приключение в волшебном мире. Рекомендую для расслабляющего времяпровождения.
