Life as a Witchbrook College student
In Witchbrook, you start life as a new witch in Mossport, a bustling seaside town. You enroll as an apprentice witch at Witchbrook College and go through campus life on the road to graduation.
You attend classes and complete assignments in Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot, Rituals, and more. The harder you study and the more exams you pass, the more spells you can unlock.
Witch business, friends, and romance
Outside of class, you can start your own witch business, using your magic to help the people of Mossport. You can also make friends or look for love among a cast of dateable characters.
You can spend your free time however you like, from joining clubs and attending seasonal events to birdwatching, catching bugs, and fishing. You can also renovate your woodland cottage and its garden, and customize your witch’s clothes, hairstyle, and accessories.
Playable with up to four players
You can enjoy all of these activities with friends. Witchbrook supports online co-op multiplayer for up to four players.
In addition to the digital version, the developer is also preparing physical Standard and Collector’s Editions. Both will be available some time after the digital release, with platform and content details to be announced later.
