WITCHHUNTER.exe

WITCHHUNTER.exe is a retro-inspired interactive fiction horror set in a small, rural town besieged by madness, magic, and murder. You are the local priest, entrusted with expelling the evil that grips your community. The fate of five suspected women rests in your hands as you uncover the root of the curse and decide who is innocent and who must face the pyre.

Core gameplay centers on investigation and choice. Explore the village, interrogate its residents, and weigh clues to determine who to trial. Branching paths let you travel different routes toward truth or despair, as you confront a mystery where not all souls remain intact and not every confession is genuine.

Choices matter: you can acquit or condemn based on your judgment, faith, and the evidence you gather. The town’s fear, distrust, and paranoia color every encounter, forcing you to navigate a delicate balance between compassion and coercion.

Interrogation offers two paths: speak with patience to earn cooperation, or use force to extract confessions more quickly. Non-violence is an option, but the inquisition is steeped in brutal tradition, and expedient methods carry their own consequences in a world where some answers may come at a terrible cost.

The game embraces retro horror, drawing on the text-based dungeon crawlers of the 80s. Your world can be navigated by typing commands into a terminal for a classic experience, or you can use a responsive UI that presents all available actions upfront. Either way, you’ll never be stuck guessing—every option is shown to you, guiding your decisions as you uncover the truth.

Beware the whispers of the Devil, who offers prompts that tempt you to stray from justice. His guidance may lead you astray, testing your resolve and shaping the fate of those you serve—perhaps at the cost of your own soul.

WITCHHUNTER.exe challenges your conscience as you hunt for the source of evil, weigh mercy against judgment, and decide who will be spared or burned. A dark, atmospheric tale where every choice etches itself into the town’s destiny.
