Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

ABOUT THE GAME The Witch's Cauldron is a narrative roguelike game about... guess what?.. being a witch. You are a witch living on the outskirts of a small medieval town with her cat. Potions are your tools of choice. With your cauldron you brew your way through the world. But you've got to keep your balance. On one side of the scales is the terror you bring.

And the cycle will continue. While the shadow of the inquisition is yet far away, peasants, townsfolk and even the king himself are coming to pay their respects to you. Listen to their problems, learn their mysteries, unlock new recipes, and keep in mind that your benevolent or malevolent intentions will surely make a difference.

Potions you choose to brew for your visitors influence future events. You begin knowing only a couple of basic recipes, but by experimenting with mixes you can unlock new ones. Not every problem can be solved with rat poison (but nothing stops you from trying). And no matter what gruesome end you've met in your last cycle, you get to keep all unlocked recipes. If you hit a block in your research, you can always ask for help, but are you ready to pay the price? Don't let fame or fear get to your head. And remember: peasants have pitchforks and there's a lot of them. The multitude of potions and plot twists ensure high replayability. Some recipes, game mechanics and endings become unlocked only when certain conditions are fulfilled (l
