About This Game

Abandoned deep in the forest, Gretel & Hansel must use every trick they know to survive the journey home. Along the way, they’ll face devious puzzles, sinister creatures, and an all-seeing, ever-hungry witch.

Gretel & Hansel “treats” players to 50+ uniquely animated deaths—some absurd, others chilling. Dying isn’t failure here—it’s part of the fun. In fact, death may reveal secrets, unlock treasures, or open new paths.

Armed with Gretel’s trusty slingshot, pointing and clicking becomes pointing and shooting.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

There is violent deaths but in a stylized cartoonish way. The playable character can die in a variety of ways, many of which are gory but are stylized and not realistic, though the blood on screen is red. All of the characters are simplified and cartoonish and are painted as simple watercolors.
