The Witching Hour

The Witching Hour is a third-person 3D stealth title for the PC. In The Witching Hour, the local kids got a bit too into playing their game of kickball and sent their ball flying over the fence and into the radioactive smog covered forest known as the Backwoods! Now you must brave the twists and turns of the forest and the devious witches within in order to retrieve your ball and make it back to your friends in one piece! Sneak through cramped corridors and ominous woods like in classic Metal Gear, while enjoying a spooky Luigi’s Mansion style atmosphere. 

As the bravest kid of the bunch, you must make your way through the smog covered forest, mysterious Witches’ shack, and the treacherous Witches’ Lair, while avoiding the patrolling witches and their evil gaze. As you navigate each level, you can find old toys lost by kids before you that may prove helpful, like a baseball bat or a water gun filled with holy water. In order to avoid the witches, you must use the environment to your advantage, hiding in radioactive bushes and tight spaces. Be careful though! If the witches’ gaze finds you, they’ll drag you back to the beginning of the level because they don't like intruders!

Within The Witching Hour you can:

• Explore the smog covered Backwoods in your attempt to find and return your toys to safety while avoiding the menacing witches!
• Fight back against the witches with your mighty baseball bat of justice and holy water gun. 
• Creep into the witch’s shack and traverse the branching and shifting pathways within.
