About Witan
What if you were accused of being a witch?
Would you accept it, or would you fight?
What would you stoop to in order to protect yourself?
Witan is an oldskool rpg that goes for the simplistic gameplay mechanics, but not the "retro look" (unless you want). It's fully 3D.
You are a young woman (perhaps correctly) accused of being a witch, by one of the local barons, and that is a death sentence.
In order to survive, you need to improve your standing, tool up, and indeed become a potent witch.
The gameplay is quite simple, but your hand is not held. Do not expect your objectives to glow in front of you, or indeed dangers to be obvious.
Persevere, there is a way, a method, and a story, but it's not going to leap out and scream at you.
Features:
It's Pretty (in a grim way).
Nice landscape with day/night cycles (again, in a grim way).
It's only slightly silly: no copper bras, etc.
Mixture between oldskool (choice driven/find stuff) game play and 3D walk/run around.
You can jump (for no apparent reason).
Save your game (although you'll have to find out how)
Shops (which you'll also have to find)
Enemies (which you'll have no problems finding)
Approx 2 Hrs game play (If you're a god, and a lucky one at that), much more if you're a mere mortal.
Some really odd stuff that probably shouldn't be there (you'll find it).
A RetroVision setting for the pixel purists, and Gamma adjust (for those who just can't see anything :)).

"Witan" is quite a train wreck... it seems like it was an attempt to make a "RPG" about being a witch and how to survive when accused of that, which leads to a terrible video gaming experience. This is like a pre-alpha product that was dumped out onto Steam before it was finished or polished, it's got a slew of defects like horrible movement and camera control, janky movement and animation, locked resolution... all aspects of this game are awful. This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $$2.99 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to ap…3 found this helpful
[b] Witan: Barely a Game [/b] Calling Witan a “game” feels generous. It’s more like a collection of half-baked ideas cobbled together into something that technically functions but utterly fails to entertain. This is less of a playable experience and more of a frustrating exercise in patience and lowered expectations. Controls: A Mess Before You Even Begin The first thing you’ll notice is the bizarre control scheme. Before you do anything, you’ll want to remap the keys to something functional—WASD for movement, Shift for run, and Ctrl for actions. The default layout is bafflingly bad, and without fixing it, you’ll struggle even more than necessary. Then there’s the ESC key. Hitting it doesn’t pause the game or open a menu—it instantly kicks you back to the main menu, counting as a “death.” This design choice isn’t just unintuitive; it’s outright hostile. It’s as if the developers wanted to see how quickly they could make players quit out of frustration. Gameplay: What Gameplay? You start in a city with no weapons, no real objectives, and barely any explanation of what you’re supposed to do. Most NPCs will attack you on sight, and since you’re completely unarmed and hilariously…2 found this helpful

Игра 'Witan' - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре пошаговых стратегий. Использование скандинавской мифологии в качестве основы для вселенной оказалось удачным решением, создавая атмосферу суровой и непредсказуемой эпохи. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах, идеально подходит к тематике игры. Геймплей глубокий и тактически разнообразный. Развитие поселения, исследование мира, управление ресурсами и, конечно же, сражения - все это требует обдуманных решений. Боевая система не прощает ошибок, а важность правильного выбора войск и их расстановки ощущается в каждой схватке. Несмотря на некоторые шероховатости в интерфейсе, которые можно простить для инди-проекта, игра обладает огромным потенциалом. Разработчики явно вложили душу в свой проект, и это чувствуется. 'Witan' - это игра для тех, кто ценит неспешный геймплей, сложные задачи и атмосферу древних легенд. Рекомендуется к ознакомлению всем поклонникам жанра.
