Reviews

“Once I'd created permanent paths through the obstacles and etched the map in my mind, I was speeding through the world with wild abandon. After hours of caution, I was free to let rip, swinging my mouse around like a maniac.”
78/100 – PC Gamer

“While the game narrates the story of a small light that brightens the world, it also unexpectedly stages a sweet and enlightening story that gives meaning to its world.”
7.6/10 – Tom's Hardware/Game Division

“Yes, that's right. Someone other than Hideo Kojima has made a so-called Strand-like, and it's quite possibly the strangest game you'll play all year.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

About This Game


Far, far away, there is a Forest, filled with dark things, indelibly influenced by the Witch who lives as distantly as she can from its undulating heart. You are a strand of light, coalesced to nurture the dark.

Create pathways through the darkness in a top-down open world inspired by dark fairytales. Nurture the creatures of the Forest, repair ancient structures, and ultimately: confront the Witch who broke this place.

Witch Strandings dials into the emerging genre of physical transportation. A digital forest that extends beyond the boundaries of your screen, in an all-new Strand-type game.
