Years ago, you sold your first born to a witch. But with your recent dating history, it doesn't look like she'll be getting her end of the bargain any time soon. So the witch has offered to help you find a suitable someone to settle down with. Will you choose the sweet farmer, the confident writer, or the brooding bladesmith? And are these really your only options?

This atmospheric text-based adventure features special graphics and soundtracks for each path, and four different endings (all of them accessible without much repetition). Expect a mysterious witch, interesting choices and at least one ending that leaves you questioning the possibilities.

BISEXUALS RIIIIIIISSSSEEEEE

CHEERING Let's gooooo

Lol for a second I thought the game was about a kid swearing her first born child to a witch for some odd reason, but then the witch comes back a few decades later and realizes it ain't happening cuz girl's gay af. That would have been a funny one.

Nonetheless, this was a great game!

omg goodness, that was such a heartfelt story but I am confused about somethings. Does the witch have a crush on you?

Edit: Ooh! Lesbian! I'm good now

I cry

Love it! The story was excellent and the sound design was nice and atmospheric. I think my only gripe would be that the font is a bit hard to read, but other than that, it's a great game!

This was a wonderful journey to go on over my afternoon coffee. Each ending has it's own charm and character, and I was even happier to discover the end turned out as I'd excitedly told my lunch partner I'd hoped it would. I love the mechanic of clicking text to reveal true meaning, intention, and further detail. Short and sweet. Lovely!

yes yes you did

And it was good

This was so good! It was short, sweet, and wonderfully captivating. The music was well chosen and used with maximum effect. I found everything pretty easy to read, except for the links on the writer and blacksmith's story. All in all, you did a wonderful job! Can't wait to see what else you create. :)
