In Wytchwood you play as a mysterious witch living in an ancient forest. The fate of all the people and creatures living in the woods is in her hands—she can choose to unleash her wrath on someone or decide that not everyone needs to learn their lesson by being cursed.
Wytchwood is an adventure game utilizing an isometric view. The gameplay focuses on gathering and growing unusual ingredients (such as fear in a bottle, poisonous mushrooms or newt eyes), which are then used to make spells and potions using the crafting system. It's worth noting that the recipes for curses can be researched on your own. You can also explore the large fantastical world, full of interesting NPCs, monsters, and puzzles.
Wytchwood features nice, colorful hand-drawn visuals, which resemble illustrations from children's books.

Game Ratings for Wytchwood Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8.5 / 10 by Jenny Jones
The overall gameplay loop might be a bit repetitive for some but this really is a very relaxing and charming craftathon. If you're the kind of person who gets lots of satisfaction from having a long To-Do list and ticking tasks off then this really is a game for you. The storytelling makes gathering all twelve souls an absolute delight and you'll always be looking forward to seeing what the next wicked soul is like. With a gorgeous art style and distinctive character designs this is a great game for those who are looking for something a little bit different.
Screen Rant: 4.5 / 5 by Laura Gray
While less carefree than simulation titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, the casual pacing and nonchalant nature of the main character make Wytchwood a great pick for relaxing exploration-style games. It is also a great choice for those who enjoy crafting and survival games, but prefer to have questlines to follow instead of self-governed gameplay. While the 2D art style is fun and reminiscent of storybook illustrations, this game is likely not the best pick for younger players due to questlines dealing with horror elements, as well as graphic depictions of animal death when using traps and lures. However, fans of twisted fairytales and creepy magical plotlines will likely find Wytchwood an enjoyable and spine-tingling experience.
Hey Poor Player: 4 / 5 by Heather Johnson Yu
Wytchwood may only be a 10 – 15 hour romp, but those hours are packed to the brim with exploring, crafting, puzzle-solving, storytelling, world-building, and more. A subtly magical experience, Wytchwood’s secrets slowly open up over the course of the game in such a nuanced way, you’ll be eagerly watching out of the corner of your eye for novelty from start to finish. Wytchwood made my bog witch dreams come true, and if you love a good fetch quest game, I’m positive this will be your cup of witches’ brew too.
