Gameplay
Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in an expressive land of gothic fables and fairytales. As the mysterious old witch of the woods, players explore a strange countryside, collect magical ingredients, brew sorcerous enchantments, and pass twisted judgement upon a capricious cast of characters and creatures.

Reception
Wytchwood received positive reviews on Metacritic. Writing for Rock Paper Shotgun, Alice Bell wrote "A dark fairy-tale to-do list that takes full advantage of its premise and has a lot of fun with it. You'll fall in love with Wytchwood's no-nonsense crone." In her review for Eurogamer, Malindy Hetfeld said she enjoyed her first 10 hours playing the game, but the crafting began to feel like busy work. Though he criticized the game's pacing, Nintendo Life's reviewer, Ollie Reynolds, called Wytchwood "a relaxing and addictive jaunt into the world of crafting".
