Wytchwood's core loop revolves around crafting, where you'll gather ingredients, mix them in your cauldron, and apply them to solve puzzles. Its storybook art style and whimsical tone belie a methodical structure, as you're tasked with collecting souls for a mysterious goat. Despite the simple premise, the joy comes from the experimentation and discovery of each recipe, and the satisfying feeling of completing your grimoire.
Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in a land of gothic fables and fairytales. As the old witch of the woods, explore a strange countryside, collect magic ingredients, brew sorcerous spells, and pass judgement upon a capricious cast of characters.
