"Witchbrook is the most exciting project I've ever worked on, and it's been a long time coming, but I'm very eager to get the game in the hands of the players soon. I don't think that the level of simulation and fidelity we've aimed for in this game is expected of any games short of AAA, and to see it realised in a pixel art indie game has been very satisfying to us. For now, we're only sharing a small glimpse into a vast game, and I can't wait for the community to see what's coming over the next few months." - Rodrigo Braz Monteiro
"Embracing a 4-day work week and a firm no-crunch policy has been a huge part of realising our approach to game development - that the team feels valued, rested and supported. We know creativity flourishes in a healthy work environment, and we're confident that the mindful and deliberate pace of Witchbrook delivers this experience to the players." – Rosie Ball, Producer
"Witchbrook is our love letter to thoughtful living, the quiet magic of slow moments, and the connections we share with each other and the world around us. Whether players are exploring solo or sharing in the adventure, we hope Witchbrook becomes a space to relax and make lasting memories." – Steph Caskenette, Art Director
Witchbrook will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. Witchbrook will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
