Little Witch in the Woods has us play as Ellie Blueriver, an apprentice witch in a beautiful pixel fantasy world. Ellie has to complete her training before she can graduate from Witch School, and must help the nearby village and its villagers as part of her training. She'll be diving into all aspects of witchy life; gathering materials, processing them, making potions, and using her skills to solve puzzles and problems, as well as exploring, fishing, catching bugs, restoring the house she lives in, and more. It's one that's been on our list for a while — if you'd like to know more, check out our Xbox Exclusives Spotlight on Little Witch in the Woods, where we spoke to SUNNY SIDE UP's Eunhyeon Park.

Judging from the Steam page, the Early Access version will feature the prologue and one chapter with about five hours of gameplay. Currently, the official release of the full version will bring with it the prologue, three chapters, and the ending, with the devs giving an estimate of about 20 hours of gameplay. In the full version, “various kinds of contents such as activities, regions, items, and characters will be improved and increased" and "the player will have a richer experience. It will also put an end to the various kinds of stories that have been going on."

The full version of Little Witch in the Woods will launch in 2023 — presumably, this is when it will launch for Xbox too. Little Witch in the Woods is also currently set to join Xbox Game Pass at launch.

    Little Witch in the Woods News

    Little Witch in the Woods Preview

    Currently on early access on Steam Little Witch in the Woods charmed me with its style and music. So, I wanted to pick it up and check out what is there. That being said, it is in early access so there is still work to be done. Right now, it is very short. My first impression was that it was a chill game just to unwind from stress and I wasn’t disappointed.

    From gathering ingredients to helping people, the game provides a calming atmosphere where exploration and discovery are emphasized. The art and music work together to create an environment that is soothing, yet mysterious. There’s a great foundation here, and Little Witch in the Woods knows exactly what it is.

    Everything is Animated and it’s Beyond Cute.

    From the main character Ellie to all of the people and creatures you interact with, everything is adorable. My favorites are the blue bubble lizards. In order to get the bubbles they produce you have to rub their bellies when they roll over, which is absolutely adorable!

    One of the game’s main goals is rebuilding a run-down village. It brings a sense of progression to the game and allows you to interact with more villagers. But the best part about this is how it breathes life into the environment. Every villager is out and about performing different tasks depending on the time of day. From gathering resources themselves to smithing a blade in their yard. The village never feels stagnant.

    The village feels alive

    Brewing, Exploration and Quests

    One of the main game loops revolves around brewing potions and candies in your cauldron with ingredients that you find while exploring. The system is intuitive and easy, and each recipe is different, which keeps things from feeling repetitive. You have to set the temperature and the direction you stir. Then the raw ingredients you use are processed in different ways, depending on the material. This doesn’t add any difficulty, but it does add to the feeling that you are actually working on potions and not just pressing buttons in a menu. These potions can be used to solve quests, interact with the world, or earn currency.

    The other game loop involves exploring and interacting with the world, with puzzles baked into your progression. Sometimes you need to brew a potion to kill weeds so that you can create a path; other times you need a potion to grow a plant to create a bridge. I would love to see more of this in the game, and maybe puzzles that require more than one potion for a solution.

    It is Early Access so it Feels like There’s a Lot Missing

    A broken bridge

    From broken bridges, hidden unused areas, a dark mysterious cave and a sealed temple, there are still a lot of gaps. There is a lot going on that you have no way to interact with yet. This is not unusual, however, when playing an early access game and honestly, even though this sounds like a negative comment, it isn’t. The amount of potential already built into the game is immense. You can feel the developers carefully planning through every little bit of detail that you find.

    Little Witch in the Woods has a great foundation. But as it currently stands there are only about 4 hours of gameplay and there’s a lot missing. We only get the very beginning of the story, though what’s there is, is interesting. The main character’s personality helps carry what little story there is; she’s honestly a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of characters in other games. The developers are currently working on adding new ways to interact with the environment; for example, fishing and digging are being added. I enjoyed every hour of gameplay, and I will definitely be revisiting this game when it launches fully.

    Little Witch in the Woods is available in Early Access now. If you want to support a work in progress and have a relaxing time check it out.

    Reviews for "Witchcraft and Feminism in 'Watch the Witch 2q"

    1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I can't believe I wasted my time watching "Watch the Witch 2q". The first movie was bad enough, and this one was even worse. The plot was nonsensical and the acting was cringe-worthy. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and it felt like a waste of talent. Overall, a disappointing sequel that should have never been made.
    2. Mark - 2/5 stars - "Watch the Witch 2q" lacked the originality and suspense that made the first movie somewhat enjoyable. The storyline was convoluted and hard to follow, and the jump scares felt forced and predictable. The acting was mediocre, with wooden performances from the main cast. Overall, a forgettable and unnecessary sequel that failed to capture the magic of its predecessor.
    3. Emily - 1/5 stars - I found "Watch the Witch 2q" to be a complete letdown. The first movie had its flaws, but at least it had an intriguing concept. The sequel, on the other hand, felt like a cheap cash grab. The plot was ridiculous, the scares were ineffective, and the characters were forgettable. It felt like the filmmakers were more interested in making money than creating a meaningful story. I would not recommend wasting your time on this disappointment.
