Summary

  • Gaming publishers and developers Chucklefish, perhaps best known for creating the action-packed Starbound, will be releasing a new game called Witchbrook in 2025.
  • Witchbrook is a magical school simulator in the same genre as the popular Stardew Valley, combining agricultural elements with a magical, occult-focused storyline.
  • Players will be able to choose their own storyline and adventures within the game, enabling them to explore a range of play styles.
  • This can range from pursuing relationships with NPC characters to learning spells and potions, and even creating a coven with friends.
  • The game is filled with beautiful pixel art and allows players to decorate their own cottage.
  • The only major confirmation of playable features is that players will be able to fly on broomsticks, thus saving the game from receiving a 0/10 rating from Rock, Paper, Shotgun critic Alice Bee, who complained in a 2020 feature that such a game must have broomsticks for it to be truly credible.
