Witch Way Back

A puzzle story game about exploring & adapting your skills

by Adrian Hagyard · Ka Hei Chan · Keena Swanson

The Story

Studying some higher-level spells on your own, you accidentally turned yourself into a cat! Whoops. None of your classes prepared you for this unfortunate circumstance.

Luckily, as a cat, you can still perform spells from your spell book if you find them again. Maybe there are some things you'll do easier as a smaller, cuter creature.

Spells

❄️

Freeze Spell

Keeps your paws dry and grants access to fast-flowing waterfalls. Levels requiring this spell often hide a secret ingredient — combine it with other magical items to craft the Humanizer Potion!

✦ BASIC

💨

Wind Spell

Lets a cat soar through the air with grace — or so they say. This is a rare spell, and for good reason. It is difficult to master, but those who do are greatly rewarded.

◆ RARE

✨

Light Spell

Light up your surroundings to find your way around dark spaces. You may be a cat now but you aren't so good at seeing in the dark like one.

◆ BASIC

🌿

Plant Spell

Grow plants quickly with the power of magic. Who knows when a spell like this may come in handy.

◆ LEGENDARY

How To Play

Explore each level

Navigate as a cat through magical environments. Use WSAD to move, I for inventory. Spells fall into slots Z, X, C, and V

Collect spells

Walk into scrolls to collect them. Each spell unlocks a new ability, and it may take a little time to learn their most effective use-case.

Collect ingredients

Hidden items are scattered throughout the world. These magical items could be easily missed, but it's imperative you get all 4 - you miss your human form.

Brew the Humanizer Potion

Combine your gathered ingredients and find your way back to your true form. You've got this, little witch!

The Goal

Humanizer Potion

A legendary concoction that reverses even the most catastrophic of self-inflicted transfigurations. You'll need to collect rare magical items scattered across each level and combine them just right.
