The Witch’s Cauldron is a narrative roguelike game that immerses you in the life of a medieval witch. Grab your cauldron, conjure up potions, and navigate the fine line between fear and fame. Love, curses, laughter, and wisdom—everything has a price. Do what thou wilt, but beware; the inquisitors are never far behind.
You play as a witch living on the outskirts of a small medieval town with your loyal cat. Potions are your craft, and with your cauldron, you brew your way through life. Balance is key: too much terror, and you’ll incite panic; too much fame, and you’ll attract the wrong kind of attention.
Tipping the scales in either direction invites danger—someone will come for your life eventually. But in this endless cycle of death and rebirth, the loss of your soul is a mere afterthought. While the inquisition’s shadow looms ever closer, peasants, townsfolk, and even the king seek your counsel. Listen to their troubles, learn their secrets, and unlock new recipes, all while deciding whether your intentions are benevolent or malevolent.
Features:
- Branching Narrative: Meet a cast of quirky petitioners with a multitude of requests. Whether you decide to help them, follow your own agenda, or simply make the cows sing, your choices will influence future events and shape the story.
- Potion Discovery: Start with only a few basic recipes and experiment to discover new concoctions. Not every problem requires rat poison, but there’s no rule saying you can’t try it! Even if you meet a grim end, you retain all unlocked recipes for the next cycle. If you ever hit a roadblock in your research, help is available—but it comes at a price.
- Maintain Balance: Don’t let fame or fear overwhelm you. Remember, the peasants have pitchforks, and they are many.
- Plethora of Endings: With countless potions to brew and plot twists to uncover, replayability is high. Some recipes, game mechanics, and endings unlock only under certain conditions, like completing the main story or triggering specific game-ending events.
- A Cat: You have one, and yes, you can pet him
