Un bambino perlustra una fattoria texana abbandonata degli anni '20 in cerca della sorellina rapita, braccato dai Witchkin - una famiglia di giocattoli terrificanti generati dalla Candy Lady. Questo survival horror in prima persona con meccaniche hide-and-sneak richiede stealth assoluto per sfuggire alla cattura. I giocatori si intrufolano, si nascondono, tacciono e scrutano l'ambiente tra le minacce dei giocattoli.
Il gioco evoca i primi film muti con toni seppia inquietanti e uno stile artistico ombroso, simile a foto postmortem di incubi. Le meccaniche principali ruotano su consapevolezza ed evasioni in scontri tesi. I fan dell'horror indie action stealth troveranno una sfida avvincente nel resistere all'inseguimento dei 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.
