“Playing as a witch: creating magical crafts, infusing flora & fauna with essence, flying a broom, meeting a talking cauldron, exploring the astra realm, discovering cute & dangerous animals unique to this world & following a mysterious/magical storyline, with the help of your witch guardian, clues left behind by the previous witch of fern island & her familiar, who has lost their memory.”
“The storyline is captivating and enough fantasy to keep me rolling.”
“The main storyline is well written and thought-provoking - we had a very well thought out discussion in the discord about what was the 'good' versus the 'bad' final choice.”
“I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con, because it makes my husband and I crack up, but the dialogue and story in this game are utter garbage.”
“The story is boring and not engaging at all.”
“There is a story but it's disjointed and hard to follow because of the quest system.”
