Not Your Witch
A downloadable game
Even though I usually love the Summer, I always find myself longing for the bite of Autumn. I want mist, leaves that crunch because it is their time and not from drought, blackberry crumble and sharp cool sunshine.
This is a solo journaling game to scratch that itch.
In Not Your Witch you play a person who has recently moved from the city to a small cottage on the edge of a wood. Why you moved is mostly up to you, save that this place was available, you can work remotely and the rent is incredibly cheap. Some might say, suspiciously cheap. You are not here to be anyone's Witch. You are here to do up a run down cottage, live in peace and quiet and maybe save a little money.
Unfortunately the universe has other ideas. Whether it is the familiar who bothers you daily, the locals bringing you both gifts and minor problems or the creature you end up trapping in the; it is pretty clear this place needs a Witch and it has made its choice.
Go on a solo journaling adventure to discover how you are (despite your best intentions) someone's Witch. You will need writing materials and a D6 to play this game.

Is this a game that would be appropriate for kids ages 7-10? The concept interests me but I’m concerned about the prompts and content. If you feel that it would be, would it be possible to receive a community copy for use with my students? I understand if not! Thanks!
Hi! My feeling is that if you're comfortable with witch-themed stuff, you'll be ok with the content of the game. The closest thing to a possible line-crossing piece of content is partway through the game you uncover something scary in the basement, which might be (paraphrasing slightly from the rulebook):
1. A giant eyeball
2. Tentacles
3. The Fairy Queen
4. A Werewolf
5. A servant of the Great Old Ones.
6. The demon Azathoth.
...that's the scariest and least kid-appropriate page in the game, so if you're ok with the above, I think you're golden.
Because of my adaptation plans I think I can adapt that easily. Especially if I use this one in particular around the end of October. :) I can lower the scary threshold for them. :). If I could get a community copy, my email address is Sharyna at gmail dot com
