The Developer Says...
Far, far away, there is a Forest, filled with dark things, indelibly influenced by the Witch who lives as distantly as she can from its undulating heart. You are a strand of light, coalesced to nurture the dark.
Create pathways through the darkness in a top-down open world inspired by dark fairytales. Nurture the creatures of the Forest, repair ancient structures, and ultimately: confront the Witch who broke this place.
Witch Strandings dials into the emerging genre of physical transportation. A digital forest that extends beyond the boundaries of your screen, in an all-new Strand-type game.
