Its pretty cool. I enjoy these rpg maker type horror games and this one is pretty good. And, also DONT PLAY THE TRUE ENDING! PLEASE JUST TRUST ME ON THIS! Play the game normally, enjoy the ending and never touch it again. DONT google it, DONT look it up, just enjoy the experience and move on. Ignorance is bliss sometimes. …

A promising game brought down by frustration

After enjoying Ib so much, we were pretty psyched to jump into another one of these adventures the following night.

After enjoying Ib so much, we were pretty psyched to jump into another one of these adventures the following night.

The Witch's House is about a girl who wanders into a witch's house in the middle of the woods and has to escape from the traps and monsters inside. This game immediately stands out from Ib since it was made with a more modern version of RPG Maker, so the graphics are much cleaner and easy to interpret. From a gameplay standpoint, The Witch's House initially plays very similar to Ib, but adds a few elements that may please some hardcore horror game fans, but really turned me off: jump scares and frequent sudden deaths. Enemies often appear suddenly upon entering a new area, have very high movement speed, and cause 1-hit kills if they catch you. It also doesn't help matters that RPG Maker's controls are just not well suited to the quick maneuvers this game requires to escape enemies. As a result, deaths are extremely frequent and memorizing enemy spawn locations is a must. For me, these irritating moments quickly got in the way of my enjoyment of the puzzle-solving and exploration that I wanted from The Witch's House.
