The game has a certain air about it. It looks and sounds great. But the writing, oh the writing, it reeks of a dungeon master inviting you to spend great time in a world of fantasy and then proceeding to block you constantly and continually punishing you for one reason or another. It disrespects your intelligence, and don't you call it toilet humour, for it is a tad bit less funny than my shoelaces. Just as every single NPC is a cardboard cut-out and sounds same-ish. I got it for less than half a dollar. And I do not regret spending money. I regret spending my time on a game with a story that doesn't want your investment, is a cringefest of writing and an uninsightful tedium of a grind. Still better than a cookie clicker though.
A classic. Replayed it 5 times a while back, thrice with this version. "Witch's House MV" is a truly premium experience for what was a free rpg-maker horror game, one of the best of its kind. Such a novella-like story, moderately fair puzzles, strong atmosphere. If it would be your first encounter - avoiding spoilers is highly recommended, until you get to a true ending that is. What would make you buy the mv version? - Better visuals. Everything is so polished. Comparatively nicer. - New difficulty setting. Offers replayability and extends the enjoyment by completely overhauling puzzles. In conclusion, this is a great game. It belongs to that particular era, but remakes everything for an ultimate experience. "Majo no ie" has been creating many a conversation and is a culturally significant piece of art/entertainment. P.S. watching different people react to the true ending is amazing.
