The Witch's House MV

Released: 10/30/2018

A young girl, Viola, is drawn inexorably to a mysterious manor that seems to change behind her back. It is a place of pain, turmoil and death. Plumb its detestable depths and abominable history. Untangle riddles that bar your perilous path. And flee the hellish halls of The Witch’s House. The Witch’s House, originally released in 2012, falls within the tradition of Japanese horror RPGs with heavy emphasis on puzzle-solving and jump scares. The Witch’s House is deliberately designed with traps at almost every turn--sudden death is unpredictable and it keeps players on their toes. Anything can happen at any time. With completely remastered visuals, The Witch’s House MV will feel fresh to even the most familiar old-school fans. Fans will also be greeted by a new difficulty mode that includes new events upon completion of the base game. - Completely reimagined graphics that make for a beautifully terrifying experience. - Brand new unlockable difficulty mode with new events and dialogue. - Violence and gore that are not recommended for the squeamish. Player discretion advised. - Sudden deaths that lurk around every corner and await every misstep. - Items must be used deliberately as players solve the puzzles for themselves. - Fixed save points (just keep an eye out for the talking black cat). - Headphones strongly recommended.
