Comentario Analítico: "The Witch's House" / "魔女の家 Majo no Ie" (MV) En 3 de Octubre del 2012 estrenó de la mano de Fummy uno de los mayores exponentes del horror producido en RPG Maker (En este caso en la edición VX), vease 魔女の家 Majo no Ie, también conocido como The Witch's House, y el 30 de Octubre del 2018 fue re-publicado a modo de remasterización por DANGEN Entertainment, elaborado en RPG Maker MV y acompañado de visuales actualizados y una nueva dificultad. Un año tras su estreno original fue lanzada la novela "The Witch's House: The Diary of Ellen", que en 2019 fue además adaptada a un manga de dos volúmenes. Y el 16 de Junio del 2020 obtuvo una edición gratuita para Smartphones de la mano de GOODROID, sólo en Japonés. Supo destacar por cuán macabro es y así posicionarse en el podio de los grandes juegos de este subgénero, su argumento requiere del Final Verdadero para ser entendido apropiadamente y es ahí cuando se nos presenta con un giro argumental muy reservado pero impactante y cohesivo con los acontecimientos previos. Es además un producto muy corto, mecánicamente se reduce a puzles y obstáculos, hay tantas persecuciones y formas de morir que por momentos me recordó a Ao Oni, pero más elaborado. En su momento sufrió de críticas negativas por no tener ningún final feliz, personalmente opino que no todos los juegos de esta gama deben contar con finales de todos los tipos, y sus dos cierres encajan perfectamente con el tono con el que se presenta. ¿En conclusión? The Witch's House es impactante y macabro, y esta remasterización es excelente. Es una pena que cada año tengamos menos juegos de este estilo.

A solid little game. The Witch's House, if compared to others of its kind such as Ib and Mad Father, is a lot less-focused on story, and more so on its puzzles. it has like 20 lines of dialogues at best, most of it being at the end of the game. The pixel art looks as great as any other remastered RPGhorror titles and the background music, while limited in variety, are all also decent. The puzzles are great. Not all too complicated but not too simple either, some of them can also be quite the head-scratchers which makes them all the more satisfying once you manage to solve them. The story presented in the game is, limited, for lack of better wording, there's not much to comment on it. It's fine and serves its purpose well. - DIFFICULTY: EXTRA - After you get the true ending of this game, the optional extra difficulty is opened up for you in case you want to suffer more.I actually found it quite enjoyable at first because the sheer amount of extra ways of dying gives each of them a bit of a comical feel to me, for whatever reason. The revamped puzzles also play a part in that enjoyment! ....... in the beginning, that is.. call it skill issue (it probably is) but the later segments of extra difficulty just feel a bit unfair at times.......... puzzles being too unclear, enemies being stupid fast, barely helpful puzzle hints..... it really has you looking through every nook and cranny, which, can get really annoying. because instead of clever puzzles it just feels like a time waster........................................i'd recommend you taking that statement with a handful of salt because it's entirely possible i was just being an idiot and didn't pay enough attention. All in all,optional hard difficulty aside, there's really no word that i can use to describe this game better than "solid". it's not too shabby, but nothing noteworthy either. I'd recommend buying it when it's on sale though, because for what it is, the full price is just not worth it................... P.S : this game has a manga and i'd HIGHLY recommend reading it if you're interested in knowing more about the game's story. it is SUCH a good read and gives SO much background and characterisation to the characters of "The Witch's House" who would otherwise fall a bit flat when viewed purely from the game's standpoint. Itis SUCH a tragic story and i LOVE it. I went from giving puck all to Viola to really liking her character. screw you ellen. you ain't no witch, but a bitc--- (6.5/10 game. 10/10 manga. would die again)

A girl with yellow pigtails wakes up in the woods under the gaze of a mysterious black cat, where her curiosity will lead her along the cat's fur trail to a strange house where terrible nightmares and truths meet. With a total of two endings and two others that only add certain dialogues to the story of the two main endings. One of these endings is in the extra difficult mode once you've finished on medium level, where the puzzles are more developed and thoughtful, there's more tension around every corner and a raw, frightening atmosphere from start to finish. The music composed by Fummy does not pass by, hitting every note of the floors of this mansion of horrors and in the chases this level seizes in a magnificent way. The Witch's House is one of the classic horror rpg maker games that has graced Steam with a great makeover and a remembered look. Its story is captivating and psychologically suspenseful, with an impactful twist at the end. The extra mode is extremely fantastic and better enhanced, causing that aversion in the desire to have more doors of this mansion to recognize. It's a memorable game for lovers of this genre and you won't be disappointed!

The Witch's House is the simple story of a girl wandering into a haunted house owned by a witch, hence its title (duh...). There were some decent "jumpscares" and some of the puzzles were good, but ultimately I'm left disappointed, though not enough to thumb it down because I did enjoy it. With RPGmaker games of any genre you have to give them a lot of slack in terms of gameplay due to engine limitations, which is almost the entire point of these kind of games. You're after a very specific vibe that you don't really get anywhere else! Usually, things like story and atmosphere tend to shine a bit brighter since those are less impacted by a janky engine (i.e., To the Moon, At Home Alone, Yume Nikki, etc.), but unfortunately in The Witch's House, the story is barebones, and the atmosphere/art are both just decent. The puzzles are the main attraction here, which is fine because they were relatively fair and clever. As a whole, I was quite underwhelmed. I would also have to say it's very overpriced for being a 60-90 minute game with limited replay value. Even getting it on sale for ~$5 still feels like a bit of a rip off. It's another case of hearing people talk up a game for years, finally playing it, and seeing it's merely good as opposed to great. This is considered one of the classic RPGmaker horror games and while I haven't gotten around to many of them, most of the ones I played were much better than this. It's good, but not that good.

Sept. 2024

The Witch's House MV is a work featuring moderate difficulty in puzzle-solving and an excellent horror atmosphere. Particularly, the final plot is like adding a finishing touch that brings the whole piece to life. It is highly recommended for you to give it a try.
