Witch Hunt

About

You play as Cybel, a witch from a noble family in the cursed land of Ravenshire. The town is paralyzed by fear of the Devil Witch, who uses deadly curses to keep everyone indoors. When your boyfriend is transformed into a chicken during a casual meeting, you take on the role of uncovering the truth behind the legends. The game lets you switch between nine different characters, each with their own skills and perspectives, as you navigate a story filled with dark fantasy themes and unexpected twists. Combat mixes real-time action with strategic positioning, requiring you to adapt to each character's strengths. The game's standout feature is its nine playable characters, offering varied gameplay and narrative angles. The story blends humor with horror, especially when dealing with curses that turn people into animals. With a 4.5/5 rating on Steam from over 10,000 reviews, players praise the game's creative worldbuilding and character-driven storytelling. While the 2016 release date means it's been around a while, the combination of action and RPG elements keeps it fresh for those seeking a story with a bit of absurdity and depth.
