Cursed Queen : Wicked Witch

About

Cursed Queen Wicked Witch is a text-based adventure split into two self-contained narratives built with Twine. Each story follows distinct characters and settings one offers branching paths with multiple endings the other unfolds as a single fixed journey. Developer Mia Blais-Cote released it in 2018 as a PC-only single-player experience. The first part focuses on Denis and Jesabel while the second delves into the world of Dark Fairies and Shirina. All dialogue and choices are driven by written text with no visual elements beyond simple formatting. The game stands out for its minimalist approach relying entirely on storytelling and player decisions. One tale rewards replayability through different outcomes while the other serves as a straightforward narrative. Both were originally written in French before translation though the text remains sparse and direct. Its indie charm lies in the contrast between simple presentation and the complexity of its moral dilemmas. The Twine framework makes it accessible but the emotional weight of the stories elevates it beyond basic interactive fiction.
