Hedgewitch Tales
A downloadable game
Players: 2
Time: 45 min-1.5 hours
Hedgewitch Tales is a game about kindness, about strange and beautiful magic, and about healing. Two players collaborate and use story prompts to create a small, welcoming pocket of the world where Wanderers can go to receive magical cures for their Woes. One player plays as the Hedgewitch, a constant; known for their open heart, open door, and unusual cures for ordinary and peculiar ailments. The other player plays as a stream of ever-changing Wanderers coming to the Hedgewitch for help.
What is the Wanderer's Woe? A broken foot, and tired heart, a lost family?
What makes the magic work? 7 flowers, a friendship bracelet, and a handful of wishes? Closing your eyes and turning your face up to the stars? Realizing that you had the power to heal yourself all along?
When the Wanderer moves on, what does the Hedgewitch remember of them, and how does the Hedgewitch grow and change through these encounters?
