seemed like a cool idea for a game! but in actual gameplay, it's clumsy, random, confusing. A chore to play
the scenery is nicely built, (though often hard to navigate) the characters are passable, though all ugly. more variety in hunters would be good? With a lot of refinement and balancing it could later be quite interesting, but I don't have time to find out. I liked the idea of a level editor included!

Witch It is a whimsical multiplayer hide-and-seek game that reimagines the classic childhood game with a magical twist. Players are split into two teams: witches and hunters. The witches possess the power to transform into nearly any object in the environment—from pumpkins and barrels to furniture and food—while the hunters must use tools, intuition, and a bit of chaos to uncover them. This simple concept is enriched with layers of abilities and dynamic gameplay elements that make each round feel fresh, unpredictable, and often hilarious.
The game's art style is colorful and cartoony, with exaggerated features and charmingly designed maps that range from rustic villages to eerie forests and enchanted libraries. Each map is packed with props, which makes hiding both a challenge and an opportunity for clever deception. The lighthearted visual presentation helps keep the tone fun and accessible, and the environments are well-crafted to encourage exploration and trickery. While not technically demanding, the aesthetic choices serve the gameplay perfectly and contribute to Witch It's unique identity.
What sets Witch It apart from typical prop hunt games is its use of magical abilities. Witches can choose from various powers like dropping disorienting mushrooms, creating decoys, or clinging to walls, while hunters have their own tools, such as chicken detectors that squawk near witches or slam attacks that can reveal disguised enemies. These mechanics add a deeper layer of strategy and help balance the inherently asymmetric gameplay. Over time, you unlock additional abilities and cosmetics through a progression system, allowing for further customization and experimentation.
The game features several modes beyond the classic hide-and-seek formula. In Mobification, witches that are caught join the hunters, creating a growing sense of pressure. In Fill a Pot, witches race to gather ingredients, adding a collection mechanic to the mix. Creative Mode even allows for custom map creation and community sharing via the Steam Workshop, ensuring a steady stream of new content. The developers have clearly aimed to make Witch It a platform for both casual fun and long-term engagement.
Despite its strengths, Witch It isn’t without flaws. Balance issues occasionally surface—particularly with hunters sometimes feeling underpowered if witches are highly skilled or maps are densely packed with props. Matchmaking can be inconsistent, especially in less active regions, and some players report long wait times outside of peak hours. Additionally, the crafting and customization interface can be clunky, with occasional bugs that require restarting or workaround solutions. However, the game receives regular updates and seasonal events, which help keep the experience engaging and responsive to community feedback.
Overall, Witch It delivers a vibrant and imaginative take on prop hunt gameplay, blending magical mechanics with accessible, chaotic fun. Whether you're laughing at a witch disguised as a cabbage rolling down a hill or frantically chasing a chicken that senses nearby mischief, the game offers constant moments of surprise and joy. With a solid foundation, varied modes, and a passionate developer team, Witch It is an easy recommendation for players looking for a lighthearted, creative multiplayer game to enjoy with friends or friendly strangers online.
