Collecting the Souls involves interacting with many NPCs and objects, often with humorous dialogue relating to why the animal in question is Wicked (I will note that a couple of themes were a fair bit darker than the game’s overall relaxed nature), and undertaking the aforementioned fetch quests. Despite dabbling in dark magic, the Witch is a blunt, no-nonsense old woman who nevertheless shows compassion for those in need and obvious disdain for villains. With that in mind, I won’t go too in-depth so as to remain spoiler-free, since experiencing the story is one of the main appeals of Wytchwood. The story is enjoyable to experience, with both the player and the Witch herself having no real idea as to why the contract is in place. Every time the segment changes, more of the world opens up for you to explore, including some paths in areas you already had access to a good example of this is the first main area of the game, the Forest, which has only about a quarter of its map accessible during the tutorial but opens up further with each story advancement. The other three segments share a common story quest (collect the first/second/third set of four Souls) and are far longer, involving much more traversal of the land expect these parts to take 2–4 hours each.
The first part - the tutorial quest - is much shorter and takes perhaps 10–15 minutes. Wytchwood takes place over four main segments, the end of each one being signified by the Witch falling to sleep. The game, then, becomes a cycle of travelling between areas to collect items, in order to make different items, so that you can craft snares and the like to… get more items! When it comes to snagging ingredients from creatures, you’ll often need to craft specific traps, baits, and whatnot to deal with them. The first quest serves as a tutorial for how the game mechanics work, and supplies you with several key tools that you’ll be using to collect the various items scattered around. The Goat describes the Souls as “villains who deceived her, and cheated her, and broke her spirit”, referring to the Maiden each of the Souls is in fact an anthropomorphic animal that resides in one of the game’s eight major areas. That’s perfectly fine though, because the entire affair is a relaxing jaunt through the world as you search out the Twelve Wicked Souls that the Goat has tasked you with bringing to it in order to save a Sleeping Maiden.
And then even more! Yes, Wytchwood is essentially Fetch Quest: The Game. The story sees you performing a couple of fetch quests: missions in which you collect or craft a number of items (in this game, generally one to three varieties) and then bring them to the hand-in point. Reviews // 12th Feb 2022 - 1 year ago // By Kyle Nutland Wytchwood Reviewĭo you ever have one of those days where you just wake up and find a goat in your house that you apparently made a contract with? Well, Wytchwood starts off in exactly that manner, as you take on the role of a nameless Witch whose only notable possessions are a rope belt and a grimoire with all of its pages missing.
