Reflecting back you’d think this would be repetitive, and I found myself accepting this pretty quickly. The witch can get injured, and she’ll return to her house after 3 lives are lost. It is important to note that this is largely the game, and although there are puzzles and combat, these are in the form of collecting spell ingredients to solve the puzzle or to defeat your enemies. It can be a tad demotivating getting very far to only realise you need a certain spell, but you don’t have the ingredient, so you have travel to one location, to get the ingredient you may need to trap or capture the animal that may then get you the other initial ingredient in an entirely different location.Īlthough this sounds complex the game keeps a log in your journal and never will feel too convoluted, despite how much may be on your plate to find, kill or mix up. Some ingredients are also sparcer than others and not as easily gathered as others.

It is complex and without focus you could get yourself very entangled in what needs collecting first, and how to get the first thing. However, they will require their own weapon to be killed, which may be a spell, or a spell needing a reagent or multiple reagents just to be able to grab one single ingredient. Some things you may have to capture or kill to get specific ingredients from them. The reagent is a breakdown of ingredients, so you may be sent back to a location you had literally just travelled to to pick up a number of certain ingredients. Thus you can fall into a Russian Doll scenario extremely easily.Ī spell may need multiple reagents, which means that you not only have to collect the right ingredients from the right location, you will then need to make the reagent before the spell can be cast. Spells require a mixture of ingredients and reagents, where as reagents are made from multiple ingredients. You will be in charge of casting spells and reagents. The game does an excellent job of a vast majority of ingredients that never feel like your job is a slog to collect. You know the ones with the never ending smaller doll inside the one you currently are holding. The gameplay itself just reminds me of a Russian Doll. Believe me when I say you *will* know your way around quickly if not playing smart. Each location is big enough that you may need some slight guidance, but small enough that after a few visits, you do find your way around. This is quite irksome at the beginning of the game, but actually isn’t a problem once a few hours in. Although easily marked with locations and mission area’s, you are not able to mark where you want to go. This brings a dynamic to Wytchwood whilst you’re playing to remind you that these biomes will hold different secrets, different beasts and characters, as well as different ingredients and different ways to mix your potions.Ĭontrols are easy to follow and everything is accessible with ease. Deep greys, purples and browns for the Graveyard, and corn yellow and shades of orange for the Fields. Each location has a separate coloured theme, such as purples and greens for the swamp. Splashes of lots of colour and different textures. The visuals boast a children’s picture book-esque look.
Visually the game is very pretty and it is obvious a lot of effort has gone into this art style for it to pop. Additionally you can see your inventory, a map of your current location and a journal which keeps track of your missions and tasks. You will have access to a menu at the touch of your hand, detailing the spells and reagents from your dusty grimoire. Players are presented with some basic tools, such as an axe, trowel and net. The deal in question requires you to collect souls from various different beasts and how you collect the souls will differ with each extraction. From agreeing to fulfil your contract with the goat, it is time to get to work. She must complete the deal or risk never remembering her precious memories before her sleep. The goat refuses to tell her the deeds of the deal, but report there is also no get out clause. The witch has made a deal with the goat about a sleeping maiden of whom she has no idea why she is sleeping and why she made the deal. Outside her house deep within the swamp she is met with a goat. She wakes from her slumber, unable to remember the recent past. Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game that delves into a storybook style about an odd witch in an odd little house.
