Wytchwood is an adventure video game developed by Alientrap and published by Whitethorn Games and Whisper Games for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game was released on December 9, 2021.[1]

Gameplay

Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in an expressive land of gothic fables and fairytales. As the mysterious old witch of the woods, players explore a strange countryside, collect magical ingredients, brew sorcerous enchantments, and pass twisted judgement upon a capricious cast of characters and creatures.

Reception

Wytchwood received positive reviews on Metacritic.[2] Writing for Rock Paper Shotgun, Alice Bell wrote "A dark fairy-tale to-do list that takes full advantage of its premise and has a lot of fun with it. You'll fall in love with Wytchwood's no-nonsense crone."[4] In her review for Eurogamer, Malindy Hetfeld said she enjoyed her first 10 hours playing the game, but the crafting began to feel like busy work.[5] Though he criticized the game's pacing, Nintendo Life's reviewer, Ollie Reynolds, called Wytchwood "a relaxing and addictive jaunt into the world of crafting".[3]
