I was close to death, and this time for good. The witchfire in my blood had cooled, with most of it having already evaporated. Were the last drop to have gone, so would I be too, awakening in Hell. The rescue, unlikely as it was, came thanks to human greed and stupidity. The old nag, […]

Byłem bliski śmierci, tym razem na zawsze. Wiedźmi żar w mojej krwi wystygł, większość i tak ulotniła się wcześniej. Gdy zniknie ostatnia drobina, zniknę i ja, budząc się w Piekle. Ratunek przyszedł, jak to z rzadka bywa, dzięki ludzkiej chciwości i głupocie. Zarekwirowana w pobliskiej wsi szkapa uciekła niecałe dwa pacierze temu, spłoszona, przerażona. Czyli […]

It is a first person shooter with dark fantasy vibes. There are guns, there is magic, and there are undead swordsmen trying to kill you. But there […]

Here’s a short and sweet FAQ on the Witchfire trailer featured at the Summer Game Fest 2022! Wait, what trailer? This trailer! We suggest watching it in glorious 4K. Is the Early Access version exclusive to the Epic Games Store? Yes. As some of you know, we’ve been working with Epic since 2007. It all […]

As promised last week… …here’s the update on Witchfire. We will discuss the release date, a certain core feature of the game, and the fandom. And then it’s time for a fat Q&A session, the biggest we’ve ever done. There are some juicy bits of info in that section, indeed. A ROGUELITE Armed with strange […]

A few days ago, we held the very first playtest of Witchfire. We invited a couple of industry friends – easier this way, they know what a work-in-progress build is and won’t be distracted by missing textures or placeholders sounds – to our studio to play the game for an hour or two. Does this […]
