New Witch in Town

About

New Witch in Town is a text-based role-playing game where you navigate a coming-of-age magic mystery. You inherit sudden responsibility when your magical forest home faces threat, forcing you to relocate to a declining town and hide your powers. Progress unfolds through choices that shape relationships, uncover secrets, and determine the fate of both your new surroundings and the endangered woods. The narrative focuses on investigative problem solving, balancing personal growth with external conflicts like missing art and cryptic visions. This 500,000-word story by Grace Card emphasizes branching dialogue and decision weight, a hallmark of Choice of Games’ text adventures. Players appreciate its slow-burn character dynamics and layered environmental storytelling, though the lack of visual polish may divide opinions. With themes of displacement and ecological tension, it offers a quieter alternative to flashy RPGs, relying on writing depth over action set pieces.

Storyline

When you’re forced to leave your endangered forest home, your grandma only gives you one instruction: “Keep your magic secret.” But when you reach your new town, you realize you might have a chance to save your forest after all. New Witch in Town is a 500,000-word Young Adult interactive fantasy novel by Grace Card. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. You've lived half your life in a remote magical forest, learning the secrets of your magical abilities from your grandma. But after sudden news that the forest may be in danger, you’re forced to move into your grandma’s old house in a town you haven’t visited since you were a child. When you arrive in your new town, you discover a place caught between the promise of flashy developments and the reality of gradual decline. As you begin to settle in, however, you start to notice more than a few strange things going on around you—mysterious trees, stolen sculptures, and dreams about the forest you can’t quite understand. And all the while, your grandma’s whereabouts are a mystery.
