    let's make things clear. it is not a game, it is time killer filler. if you like repetitive and tedious gameplay without any changes and thinking with nice art and music - this game is for you, if not - stay away from it and that's why:

    - crafting. this is by the the heart of game and it's done very badly. there is no progression, all of your abilities were told in act 1 and there is no significant changes throughout the game. it becomes boring very fast
    - convenient. it is totally inconvenient to play. you can't make marks on map, you can't know about what i will get if i'll kill some monster, you don't have some sort of bestiary
    -story. the plot is very simple and there are no choices in the story. you can't make decision and stories itself a linear and poor
    - gameplay. there is no gameplay. you don't have progression, there is no exploration, there is no motivation to do some moves. i would say it is like a demo version of potentially cool game, but devs throw it and leave it as is, unfinished and weak    … Expand

    This game had a fun story and was cozy to play. Gameplay story was slipt up into three parts and really didn't take too long to complete, but all the different characters had hilarious stories with each quest. This game is for sure primarily a story game where you craft things here and there as you go.

    Wytchwood 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.

    Cute, 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.

    Rather short (about 10 hours to finish the main story), Wytchwood is a very good crafting game with a fantastic art direction and an excellent soundtrack promoting relaxation. The puzzles and fights present may not be complex enough, but the whole thing is lifted by finding different resources in various biomes and crafting unique items.
