Symbiosis

About

Symbiosis casts you as Magnolia, a witch battling trespassers in her foreboding forest home. This RPG weaves puzzle solving with visual novel storytelling as you manage the eerie Witch’s House, using its labyrinthine rooms and dark magic to drive intruders away. Choices shape how the story unfolds, balancing resource management with tense decision-making. The atmosphere leans into claustrophobic horror, with environmental details amplifying the sense of dread. Puchi’s game stands out for its tight blend of mechanics and mood. The house itself feels like a character, its shifting layout and ominous presence heightening the stakes. Players navigate branching narratives where kindness or cruelty impacts outcomes, creating a personal yet unsettling experience. While short, the game packs a punch with its cohesive design and memorable tone, leaving a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.

Storyline

"Deep within the forest there is a grove where the tree branches grasp and claw at your neck, and the air is a thick miasma choking the very life out of you. In the center of the grove lies the Witch’s House: arrogant, mighty, and wretched."
