Hello, everyone! Happy Sunday. 🥳 I have been eyeing Little Witch in the Woods for quite some time, but @demotry gave me a copy of the game for a late birthday gift. 😆 Thank you, Demo! I was actually planning to buy the game in December as well as waiting for it to go on sale. I discovered this game through a friend who is also into games. We both love similar genres like adventure, simulation, RPG, etc. I can compare Little Witch in the Woods to Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and Stardew Valley.
The first scene of the game is, Eliie, the main character, talking about taking her shoes off as she gets to Highlion. At first, I thought she was talking to herself. 😆 I realized that the hat named Virgil is talking, haha. I like the back-and-forth convo of this duo. My first mission was to ask around about the shoe stuff.
Cute characters! 😍 Love the train crew's outfit! So, it turned out that taking your shoes off to Highlion was a joke. 😆 I went on to go back in my chair to stare at the view from my window.
✨A magical tree!✨
The train stopped at night because something was wrong. Now, this is my chance to explore more of this world. The navigation was easy to follow and if ever lost, there were directions that could be investigated. As I went further up, I saw the mountain that I saw through my window.
The tree was covered with luminous insects called Bluemoon Butterflies. For now, I cannot do anything but stare at them. In the long run, I feel that these creatures will be an ingredient for a potion recipe or take them as pets. 💖
By using the quill to draw, I can register the things on the catalog to know more about them. Here for example is the Blue Moon Butterfly I found while exploring the forest.
Where to sleep?
I cannot just sleep on rocks and grass 😆 I need to find a proper bed for the night. The train will leave tomorrow and I had the time to explore more of the forest.
More walking until I saw a glowing kitty cat. As I got near to it, it ran away leading me to chase it. Of course, gamer instinct, the cat will point you to something. 😆
Tadaaa, found the witch's house
Found a place to sleep for the night, but I hoped the witch would not barge it or else I would be in trouble. 😆
Apparently, the house is not occupied for a long time judging by how dirty it was, plus cobwebs everywhere. The important thing for now is there is a bed and lights. Called it a day and slept on the filthy bed.
The train left me
Oh, shoot, it's a freaking bird imitating the sound of the train! 🤣 The question is, where is the damn train? They left a letter instead saying that the train already left. Ugh, I guess that was the plan all along to explore more of the witch's house and the forest (???). Sitting on the train is boring anyway, haha!
I got back to the witch's house. I took off the cobwebs and dusted off the books. As I stepped onto a platform, I discovered a basement. There was a lot to look at, especially the inventory box and the witchy apparatuses. After cleaning the house, I can finally have the option to save and load any time of the game.
My review! (As of writing)
This is a perfect game for people who love cottagcore, cozy, and adventure games. Adorable characters and lofi background music~ The storyline is easy to follow. The controls are easy, nothing complicated. Typical adventure thingy~ You do not have to stress yourself out to figure things out. There are some challenges along the way like making potions, climbing for ingredients, etc. but clues are obvious in order to finish a side quest or two.
Now here is the not-so-good side...
Since this is an early access, I understand that the game is not yet in full version, and devs are still working on it. But, guuurl, the bugs are freaking annoying. I will be discussing those bugs, specifically three bugs that I encountered. Since its release in May of Last year, it has only three game updates (based on what I read on the community forum). It is annoying because I keep on restarting the game when it freezes and gets back to my last save point (which I already finished a side quest scenario not saved). I do hope that the devs will see these early missions and side quests fixed.
Will I recommend getting the game now? No. So run, clean your dusty cupboards, or touch the grass.
Thank you for reading! 💖
