Un niño recorre una abandonada granja de Texas en los años 20 en busca de su pequeña hermana secuestrada, acechado por los Witchkin: una familia de juguetes terroríficos creados por la Candy Lady. Este survival horror en primera persona y estilo hide-and-sneak exige sigilo absoluto para evitar ser capturado. Los jugadores se cuelan, se esconden, guardan silencio y vigilan los alrededores ante las amenazas de los juguetes.
El juego evoca las primeras películas mudas con sus tonos sepia inquietantes y un estilo artístico sombreado, como fotos post mortem de pesadillas. Sus mecánicas giran en torno a la percepción y la evasión en encuentros tensos. Los fans del horror indie centrado en sigilo encontrarán un desafío absorbente al resistir la persecución de los Witchkin.

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.
