Little Witch Inuko

Little Witch Inuko is a card-battling dungeon game about Inuko, an Inumaru with a gift for magic who was adopted as a disciple by the Blue Mage Aios. Years later, Inuko has turned human and is growing into a young mage. Aios sends her to take the mage guild’s difficult test to become a full-fledged witch, warning that he will drop her as his student if she fails. Inuko takes on the test both to stay by his side and to win his love.

The test in the ruins

You play as Inuko as she explores dangerous ruins filled with enemies, traps and surprises. The test raises questions about why Aios made her take it and what awaits her in the ruins. The game has multiple endings and difficulty levels; even the easiest remains challenging.

During the test, you may meet troublemakers or people in distress. You can ignore, help or punish them, and these choices affect the test’s results.

Build your deck

Battles use a card system with hundreds of cards across various elements. You collect cards and loot, then shape a personal deck by choosing combinations that suit your approach. Some cards can hinder you, while others work together in powerful combinations. You can discard unhelpful cards and enhance cards you want to keep. Classes, equipment and artifacts also give you ways to make the test easier.

Learn from each run

Enemies have tricks of their own, and even a simple opponent can be dangerous if you make the wrong moves. Defeat is not the end: each venture and game over can help you prepare for another attempt. You can learn from past mistakes, level up skills, upgrade stats and bring items found on previous runs with you.

The ruins also contain varied events and encounters. Some can provide equipment, artifacts or items; others can hinder or end your journey, so your choices matter.
