Are there any good games about being a witch? Brewing potions, casting hexes, all that good stuff.
>>720326153There's a lot that of alchemy games with a few of them having witchy motifs, but nothing that quite feels like full black cackling black cat witch at least from what I've seen
>>720326153>I want [POPULAR THING]>but completely stripped of any of the complexity that made it popularwhy are people like this
>>720326153
The twitter screencap was not necessary
>>720326924Why is a story about a kids perspective on life in the nordic countryside +Magic stuff inherently less complex than a destructive alcoholic cop in communist shithole? Its all about the quality of the writing.
>>720326153order of ecclesia, kind of
I wish Potionomics was a better game and not just a vehicle for anons to post about a brown loli
>>720327116That's the only way to have a video game discussion on /v/ these days I'm afraid
>>720327164because children have inherently less complex perspectives?
>>720327024Those etsy witches are some on some satanic black magic.Sick shit.

>>720327351A child is not going to be writing the story, an adult will. The perspective of a child on life will be as complex as the writer needs it to be for the story to function.
>>720326153Make fun of her all you want, but there are very few games actually aimed at women. All the larger industry has done is make games for men more gay. The Last of Us 2 is still a gory murder simulator, no matter how progressive it is.
>>720326924i doubt they want a game at all
why are females incapable of interesting game ideas?It's always the most mundane, trite, quirk chungus shit + witch / YA protag
>>720327406I played the demos for both of these. Black book seemed well written and polished, but simple. REKA was unpolished trash.
>>720326153this sounds like nortubel
sounds gay and retarded like all ideas women have>>720327443you sound gay too
>>720327642Steal Black Book, it's a good card roguelike. It is a card roguelike though, which itself is clearly bad.
>>720327613No one knows why you have retardation.
>>720327897hope she reads this bro
>>720327956I hope you grow a brain at some point.
Why are witches troon coded?
>>720327771>t. someone gay and retarded.
>>720327816I added it to my wishlist years ago, but since it's a card roguelike as you said it has stayed there...
>>720326153Is this a stealth Uma thread or something?
>>720328018women use "witch" in place of adopting a nature / pagan aesthetic, and playing dress up while collecting herbs and flowers.41%ers are more about sanitized/colorful d*monic aesthetics
>>720326924>like thing 1>like thing 2it's not magic
>>720328018witch is one of the few female-only occupations, so when someone troons out they have a 30% chance of naming themself "lilith" and going witchcore to try to embrace more femininity.it's like when you troon out you have to pick one of>witch>speedrunner>bimbo femslut (in a way that feels like a male written parody of slutty women, because it is)
>>720328470Witch was never woman only in real life. Stop reading crap like Harry Pooper.
>>720328329Idk janny, might as well delete it just to be safe. God forbid people talk about video games here
>>720326924It's mildly obnoxious feelgoodcore posturing, but all stories are iterations on past stories. There's nothing inherently wrong with liking a framing device and deciding you wanna use it to tell a radically different story.
I want the forest but with dinosaurs
>>720326153>neighbour's catThis is what kills me right here. A witch shouldnt even have neighbors, or be social with them if she does. And it would be better to have it be her own cat. Like who is your character if they don't want anything of their own? Definitely not a witch.
>>720326153Potion Craft and Strange Horticulture are both very fun IMO.
>>720330138 Based taste, honestly. Potion Craft scratches that medieval apothecary autism itch real nicely, just wish it didn't turn into such a chore past the midgame. Strange Horticulture is peak comfy though-cozy vibes, occult mystery, and spooky plants? Kino.
>>720326153The narrative system is so beloved only because it talks about complicated issues. Such purple prose wasted on nothingness would mean nothing.
>>720326153these kinds of games already exist in spades but they suck ass and women literally don't know what they want this woman would prefer if there was an exhausting amount of drama instead of that game prompt
>>720326153>solve the disappearance of her neighbor's catCould the stakes be any lower?Who the fuck would want to waste their time with a matter so mind-numbingly boring and insignificant?Shit like this is why I cannot take women seriously.
>>720328053I speak for gay retards everywhere when I say I recognize this as gay and retarded
>>720327309Because you've given up on engaging anyone but the bots.
>>720331027to be fair, that woman got utterly dragged in the twitter comments *by leftie liberal women* who pointed out that half of what makes disco elysium work is that it's a bizarre high stakes gonzo world where nothing makes sense, and if you make it a "cozy" game it lacks all the fucking edge and punch. DE's entire speech mechanic is built around the various fragments of your fucked up psyche vying for airtime in your voicebox while your hypothalamus desperately tries to wrestle with your worst instincts.This idiot was rightly called an idiot for thinking that kind of speech system would work in the setting she named, and "a young witch trying to find a missin cat in a small village in the alps" became a fucking liberal gamer meme for a while dunking on exactly this kind of blindness that some people have to how mechanics and tone should reinforce one another, not be forced into a get-along shirt.
>>720327443>The perspective of a child on life will be as complex as the writer needs it to be for the story to function.Then it's not a kid's perspective at that point, it's an adult's perspective. If you take the inherently simplistic perspective of a child and make it much more complicated than it would be, it's not a kid's perspective anymore, retard. It's a tiny adult's, which is a common fuckup writers make when trying to write children.
>>720331059Good job finding yourself.
>>720331784You can't "no u" me when I've already played the "yes me" card
>>720326153Witchtastic is a witch themed Overcook
>>720326153>i want to make a visual novel about the single most boring premise of all time but its ok because its gonna be cutesyno one wants to play that shit
>>720331880That what they want you to think.
>>720331027>not even her own cat
