By Emily ByrnesWytchwood is a dark fantasy indie adventure game that immerses you into a phantasmagorical land with endless troubles thanks to the villainous animal antagonists that inhabit it. Luckily, or not so luckily, you play an old witch who has made a pact with an ancient, black goat that's fond of eating grimoire pages and expects you to do something about the fairytale world's woes. What ensues is hours of hilariously creative dialogue and story, framed by colorful characters, relaxing music, and an enjoyable crafting system. There are always more spells to cast and mushrooms to pick for those that know where to look. Wytchwood is one of those rare gems that supports its rich story with a very successful crafting and gathering system that rewards creative and conniving crones. Collect all the souls and maybe, just maybe, you can enjoy that nap in your rocking chair without fairytale creatures knocking down your door for help. Who are we kidding? There's always another villain.

By Kyle NutlandCute, fun, and quite literally fetching; Wytchwood blends all of its elements together wonderfully, although there is little reason to play more once you conclude the 10–12 hours' worth of story.

By Camila BerkaFor those who like puzzles, Wytchwood offers several opportunities to face challenges before advancing on the map. The game does not have an open world, but it guarantees vast scenarios to be explored and unlocked as the player conquers new skills and finds new resources. If you want to play something that challenges you in a fun and not frustrating way, I recommend jumping into this adventure with fantastic beings, unique characters full of side quests to offer and discoveries about the mystery behind the sleeping girl.

By Malindy HetfeldA pop-up picture book with a lovely feel - but busywork intrudes too often.
