The Witching Hour: A Puzzletale

Description

For generations, dark secrets have haunted the isolated town of Old Miring. Dangerous witches lurk in the shadows, and twice a century, they summon a sinister maze in the dead of night to steal a child away forever. The threat of being taken by the maze has always tormented you, but on the eve of your sixteenth birthday, you’re forced to confront those fears and enter the maze—alone. The Witching Hour is a narrative tabletop puzzle adventure that combines elements of board games, escape rooms, and interactive fiction. With every puzzle you solve, unlock a new piece of the story and delve deeper into the maze. Beautiful illustrations, tactile artifacts, and a poignant narrative make this puzzletale a one-of-a-kind experience. Can you untangle the mysteries of the past and change your fate before it’s too late? A comprehensive hint system is included in the box, so no internet is required to play. You'll need a straightedge and a pencil and paper to take notes. —description from the publisher
