March 2025
Witch Hunt is a very good game with even better atmosphere to go with it. Rather than being a jump scare simulator, Witch Hunt's tense and dark atmosphere actually puts you on edge and when scares do happen they don't feel forced or "ha ha sppoked you" like so many other games. Grinding for gold to get books, ammo or the silver crucifixes doesn't feel like a chore like a lot of other games where grinding is needed. Once you get the bounty hunter license getting money is so much easier and rewarding, especially when you're desperate for supplies. Each boss and mob are unique and interesting to fight, albeit the last on is a bit tedious, especially if you die you have to start it all over again and really doesn't have the same feeling as the other bosses. The game is designed very well and definitely has passion behind it. I would give Witch Hunt a solid 9.9 out of ten.

Playing this gem again around Halloween 3 years later, it's still a nice little horror game. Not recommended for zoomers with ADHD, this is a slow-paced game.

A great indie horror game that kind of falls apart with the very last boss. But up until those last 15 minutes, I was given 4+ hours of perfect Halloween horror game atmosphere, tough gameplay, and a fun sandbox to hunt in. There're no side quests, no RPG elements, just you, your flintlocks, a big map full of monsters, and 4.5 bosses to hunt. It's far from perfect and riddled with tiny, annoying choices, but for such a simple premise and cheap price (particularly now, $6 at the time of writing), this little game made by one man hits all the right notes when played in the right season. Highly recommended for a spooky Saturday Night.

Very fun open world concept, not so massive that it's daunting but lots of fun little secrets to be found. Some enemies are BS but otherwise great game for the price point. :)

By far my favorite indie horror game. This story driven open world hunting game comes with countless twists interactive world building opportunities in the environment that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The 18th century setting with muskets adds a nice twist to the usual hunting game genre, making every shot count. Get your washer ready when you play this game. Your bloomers are going to need it.
