Gameplay
Witch It is an online multiplayer “Prop Hunt” game where players are divided into two main teams: witches and hunters. The hunters’ primary goal is to hunt down the witches, while the witches use special abilities to disguise themselves and evade capture. The game offers an accessible and enjoyable hide-and-seek experience, ideal for quick, casual sessions.
Each team has a variety of abilities that can be swapped during gameplay, adding a strategic element and ensuring replay value. For instance, witches can fly to hard-to-reach areas, throw monsters to distract hunters, or transform into different objects around the map. Meanwhile, hunters have abilities like using a grappling hook to reach high spots or throwing objects at suspicious areas.
The game includes over 15 maps, some of which were created by the community via the Steam Workshop, adding variety and an element of dynamism to the matches.
While the skill system diversifies gameplay, it also has a few drawbacks. For example, the witches’ ability to fly allows them to reach areas that hunters can’t, which can unbalance some matches, especially if players exploit these advantageous spots. On the other hand, hunters may end up repeatedly “throwing potatoes” at random objects, which can feel repetitive.
The Witch It community is still active, with its servers supporting a good number of players. This makes it easy to connect quickly and enjoy casual matches. Witch It is particularly fun with groups of friends, where the experience becomes more like a party game, allowing players to enjoy themselves more freely without “game-breaking” tactics that can sometimes occur in public matches.
Game modes
Witch It offers four distinct game modes, all focused on hide-and-seek gameplay:
- Standard Mode – In this mode, witches can transform into objects around the map to hide from hunters. If caught, they are eliminated, and the round ends for them.
- Progressive Mode – When a witch is caught, they join the ogres and help hunt down the remaining witches, adding a dynamic shift as the match progresses.
- Contact Mode – Ogres must touch the witches directly to locate them, instead of throwing objects (like potatoes), changing up the hunting strategy.
- Competitive Mode (2v2) – In a more tactical experience, two witches compete against two ogres to complete objectives, such as filling cauldrons with specific props before time runs out.
