Gentiana is a quiet woman who has lived mostly in solitude for the last fifteen years, loving her arcane studies most of all. But one day, while experimenting as usual, much of her magical power was suddenly ripped from her! Unable to continue with her work, she’s tracked down the mysterious force which stole away her strength. Traversing a mystical forest, she finds a great ravine, and a dungeon that stretches unfathomably deep into the earth. Can she reach the very bottom, reclaiming her power and thwarting the being responsible? Or will she eventually succumb to the dungeon, equipped and tailored specifically to capture Witches like her?

Try, Try Again!
Explore a dungeon where progression is based upon your skill, tools, and game knowledge. Say goodbye to grinding for levels - getting ahead is all about playing smart and patient.

Think Like An Adventurer
Rush ahead without careful consideration, and danger will soon follow! Consider your surroundings and move wisely. Not every engagement is necessary, and some paths are only more dangerous to tread!

Gentiana doesn't simply forget she can use magic outside of battles. Use your elemental spells in the field to shape the earth, freeze water, jolt machines to life, reignite engines, and more! Not all of your problems can be solved with magic, but sometimes it is vital to your progression.

Losing is Fun!
Gentiana is a powerful mage, who has no MP to track. But in the dungeon, you’ll have to think about her Stamina and her Willpower. If her Stamina runs out, a ward on her soul will activate - she’ll be forced back to her Sanctuary without her items, downgraded but immediately ready for another run!

But if her Willpower is exhausted, none of Gentiana’s magic will work, including her ward - giving her enemies a chance to capture her. Enduring and escaping captivity is difficult, but will allow you to keep your items for your next run!

The Spice of Life
Content caters to a variety of tastes, and mechanics offer depth for a variety of styles of play. Play an elemental specialist empowering one type of magic, or a strategist opportunistically targeting enemy weaknesses. Play a defensive mage, negating all incoming spells with wit and foresight, or play a daredevil wielding dangerous dueling spells at point-blank range. Every item serves a purpose and niche, even cursed ones.

* The currently available version of Violet Witch Trials is the demo. The scope of the demo is just one of its five planned areas, consisting of about ten maps, with four enemies (each with their own restraint attack), a boss fight, and an escape sequence.
