Witan

Witan is a fully 3D role-playing game with simple, old-school mechanics and a choice-driven approach to finding things. You play a young woman accused—perhaps correctly—of witchcraft by a local baron. Since the accusation carries a death sentence, you must improve your standing, find equipment and become a powerful witch to survive.

Explore and survive

The game combines exploration on foot with choices and item-finding. It does not mark objectives with glowing indicators or make dangers obvious, so you must discover where to go and what to do. Shops and enemies are scattered through the world, and you can jump, though the game gives no particular reason to do so. Saving is possible, but you must find out how.

The world

Explore a landscape with day and night cycles. The game has a grim tone with some silliness, along with odd elements that you may come across. You can switch on RetroVision for a pixelated look or adjust the gamma.

Length

The story has a method and a way forward, but it may take perseverance to find them. A very skilled and lucky player might finish in about two hours; it takes longer for most players.
