About This Game

Stop the Curse, Save the town!

As the Witch's last Apprentice, you are given the task of ending the Curse your Master placed on the town. With 100 days left before the Curse is permanent, you must gather information about the ritual and find the needed ingredients to power a ritual to end the Curse.

Explore a Mysterious Town

The knowledge you need is in the town somewhere, hidden in half-remembered stories, favors, and locations. Explore the town, gather rumors, and supplies to break the curse. With over 15 locations and 20 NPCs with 2000+ story events, a large town awaits your exploration.

Get to know the various townsfolk

Everyone knows something to help and some have hidden secrets that you will need to uncover. Build relationships with townsfolk to get them to help you or try to go it alone and stop the curse on your own. Give gifts, complete requests, and find lost property to build up your relations with them, but beware more than one is hiding dark secrets that you will have to contend with!

Identify the Correct Ingredients

You need five ingredients to stop the curse, but ten exist. Quickly narrow down which ingredients you need using rumors and leads or risk running out of time to gather them all!

Manage Cutting back Thorns and Earning Money

The thorns are growing quickly and will need to be cut back. You must balance rituals, aid from townsfolk and your own efforts to keep them in check or risk the town being overrun by thorns before 100 days have passed.
