A Witch Comes to Town
A downloadable game for Windows
Submission for 7drl.
A Witch Comes to Town is an experiment in cosy roguelikes. It has almost no combat, but you can permanently die from getting clawed by beasts or smitten by curses.
How to Play
Use arrow keys or WASD to move, the keypad is not supported and you can't move diagonally. You interact with most things by bumping into them, but you can also use 'e' to interact with objects in your tile, such as stairs or dropped items.
Use 'i' to open the inventory.
Read books for tips on how to help the villagers or brew potions.

This game is amazing! I think I haven't had a better case study of how to add cozy elements to any game, ASCII roguelikes being the most base kind of visual storytelling. Good work!
It's like Animal Crossing meets rogue. I love the day/night cycle, I wasn't expecting that at all.
My only real nitpick would be that the text sometimes appears off screen, so I thought the game locked up, I just couldn't see the prompt to press (e). Otherwise it's extremely fun and polished feeling!
Hi, thanks, and glad you liked the game, this really made my day! :) I thought I had fixed the off-screen bug for the text, but apparently it still happens! I'll check it out, thanks for reporting!
