Your body heals crooked. Your mind heals worse.
Not chosen. Not destined. Just still standing.
Hard Soil.
Empty Cupboards.
Rusted Steel.
Witch+Bane is a world stripped of comfort the cold truth beneath the myths people tell themselves when they need to sleep at night. No chosen heroes. No divine protections. No gentle illusions. What exists instead is the slow grind of survival.
Violence has weight. Wounds linger. A single mistake can put a person in the ground. Communities scrape by through stubbornness and fear. The land is scarred by war, famine, and the thousand small cruelties that stack over generations. In such a place, even small acts of decency stand out with startling clarity. They matter precisely because they are rare.
You play a Hunter. Not a chosen hero. Not a holy warrior. Just a person who got tired of watching the world burn and decided to bring a little fire of their own.
You go to a place, and something is wrong.
You ask questions, and things get worse.
You either kill it or die trying.
Then you move on.
The Shape of the Hunt
Every choice cuts both ways.
Fast, brutal, and unforgiving. Wounds linger. Critical injuries leave permanent scars. Death is final and it rarely waits for a second chance.
Magic is fickle and dangerous. Every spell erodes the mind. Those who wield these powers are feared as much as respected. Nothing comes without a price.
Witches, Vampires, Dragons, Demons cannot be killed outright. Their weaknesses must be uncovered. The conditions fulfilled. Preparation is survival.
This is not a game about despair. It is about struggle. About choosing to stand when the world collapses around you and the cost of keeping that choice.
Your body heals crooked.
Your mind heals worse.
When it breaks, something else grows in the cracks.
Five ways to cheat death.
None of them clean.
All of them yours.
Some things don't die when you kill them.
Learn why
before you draw steel.
