A quest to find the blood of a murderer leads you and two companions into woods, field, and fen. You must survive -- and find what you need -- before time runs out.
Tactical Combat

Novelistic dialogue and narration tell the story of the witch’s unconventional quest. Plot, subplot, and side quests are thematically coherent. There is no worldbuilding for its own sake. The world emerges from the story, not vice versa.
Multiple Endings
What will you do with your knowledge and power? Several endings are possible. Replay the game to get new endings and fresh revelations.
Atmosphere
Hand-drawn graphics and mellow-to-melancholy banjo, synth, and vocal tracks complement the storytelling. All writing, music, and art in the game are made by one person.
