Wytchwood’s sense of humor is on par for what you’d expect a children’s storybook made for adults to be, as the content isn’t necessarily childish but the humor relies predominately on outlandish situations. Speaking of story, the writing leans heavily into fairytale territory with moments of humor sprinkled throughout. It’s a constant cycle of resource gathering, crafting, and then storyline, with about a 60%-30%-10% spread, respectively. To get to the bear, you’ll need to bribe the guards with coins you found in another area, then throw increasingly complex ingredients into the brewery vat, starting with things you found on the ground and moving up to things you’ve crafted several times to get to the end of the line. The way to their souls is either interestingly circuitous or downright tedious depending on how much you love fetch quests, as this game is essentially a long, long, loooooong chain of them. Each animal is wreaking havoc in its little corner of the world in one way or another - for example, the leech is busy sucking the blood out of people and blaming their deaths on a mysterious plague, while the bear has held an entire platoon hostage to its recreations of victorious battles, quite literally drunken with power while doing so (honey mead). So what does capturing the souls of the animals look like? Well… it’s like this. It’s a tough job, but apparently the witch has to do it! Good thing, too, as gaining the souls of the animals means less fighting with brawn and instead with brain, the witch outwitting her targets through use of mystical items, magical concoctions, everyday tools, and the help of a handful of colorful characters. Or else.Īlthough it’s dangerous to venture out into the unknown with only a healing spell to her name, the witch is wise and quickly remembers potion and crafting recipes during her travels. Forced to find out more on her own, the witch obeys the goat’s commands: gather the souls of 12 animals, such as the bear, ox, leech, and snake, and bring them back to the goat. The answer surprises her even more - the goat has come to collect on their part of the deal they’d struck - a deal the witch has no memory of making.
Upset, she launches outside to chase the goat, only to learn that the goat can speak! Startled, she asks the goat why they’ve eaten practically all the pages in her magical spell book and why they’ve even intruded upon her home. Shaking off the drowsiness, the witch shoos the goat out of her home, only to notice that it had eaten all but one of the pages in her grimoire.
Wytchwood genres Pc#
Available on PC and consoles for a fair price of $19.99, Wytchwood allows players to take on the role of an old witch so they may “explore a strange countryside, collect magic ingredients, brew sorcerous spells, and pass judgement upon a capricious cast of characters.” A roughly 10 – 15 hour romp through the woods, swamp, fields, graveyards, and more, Wytchwood is surprisingly addicting, time whizzing by while traipsing around these enchanting worlds.Īs mentioned above, Wytchwood has players taking on the role of a lone witch who has suddenly awaken from a suspiciously deep slumber by a rampaging goat. So begins Wytchwood, a story-rich crafting saga spanning 8+ distinct and lovingly illustrated biomes. So while you’re running around and fulfilling your half of the agreement, maybe something will spark in that memory bank of yours and remind you why you asked for my assistance in the first place… and why it comes with such a heavy price. I don’t care if you’ve forgotten about our contract, a deal’s a deal. You know, our agreement? Why are you looking at me like that, did you hit your head or something? You owe me, and I’m saying it’s time to pay up.
Anyway, to business - I’m here to collect.
Hard to say really, as time seems to flow differently around your… rather humble abode.
