Un enfant fouille une ferme texane abandonnée des années 1920 à la recherche de sa petite sœur enlevée, traqué par les Witchkin - une famille de jouets terrifiants nés de la Candy Lady. Ce survival horror en vue à la première personne mise tout sur la furtivité pour échapper à la capture. Les joueurs rampent, se cachent, restent silencieux et scrutent les environs face aux menaces des jouets.
Le jeu évoque les premiers films muets par ses tons sépia inquiétants et son style graphique aux ombres menaçantes, comme des photos post-mortem sorties de cauchemars. Les mécaniques phares tournent autour de la vigilance et de l'esquive lors d'affrontements tendus. Les amateurs de stealth indie action horror y trouveront un défi haletant à survivre à la traque des Witchkin.

"You are being stalked by evil dolls in an old black-and-white film..."
Witchkin is a first-person 'hide-and-sneak' survival horror game in the vein of Slender or Five Nights at Freddie's.
The player takes the role of a child attempting to find his abducted little sister in an abandoned Texas farmhouse in the 1920s. This house is home to the Witchkin--a family of terrifying toys, the children of a deranged woman known as the Candy Lady. Using her “children” she will do everything in her power to keep all who enter the house from ever leaving.
The base play mechanics of Witchkin are primarily stealth. Sneaking, hiding, staying quiet and aware of the toys and your surroundings are skills required throughout the game. Witchkin boasts a very strong and unique art style reminiscent of early silent movies, painted in the eerie sepia tones of postmortem photos and the murky shadows of nightmares.
Witchkin is a one-man show, only one person created the game: art, music, voice (with a little help from family members), and programming.
