Now that I have a new Mac, I can play games ♪
I downloaded a game I’d been curious about on Steam and have been playing it.
📖 My notes on choosing a new Mac (in Japanese)
Little Witch in the Woods
The pixel art is so cute 😍
The music is lovely too, and it’s really soothing.
Even the menu screen is cute
To get some English practice in too, I set the game’s language to English.
You can play it in Japanese as well!
During conversations the game doesn’t move on until you press a button, and even if you accidentally miss a line, a guide shows you what to do next, so I could play at my own pace even without much confidence in English!
A Story About Becoming the Witch Ellie and Helping a Village
Little Witch in the Woods is a game where you live a slow-life witch’s life: exploring and solving mysteries, getting to know the villagers, and gathering materials to craft things.
Ellie, a witch in training, wanders by chance into a forest covered in prickly vines.
In the forest she finds an empty house where a witch seems to have lived, and nearby, a ruined village.
The story is about Ellie exploring the forest, finding the cause of the thorns, and restoring the village.
Ellie is so cheerful. And every character who shows up is cute.
Why the thorns spread through the village, what happened to the person who lived in the witch’s house: the mysteries are all properly solved at the end.
It’s basically a heartwarming story, so you can enjoy it without worrying.
The Villagers’ Side Stories
As you get friendly with the villagers, you learn about each person’s character and background.
My favorite character is Roy ↑
Lulubang is super cute too.
Home Decorating and Crafting
You collect materials and make things like magic potions and candy.
Sometimes the potions’ effects help you move forward.
As the story progresses, you can collect furniture and arrange your room however you like.
A Story You Can Enjoy Like Reading a Picture Book
Quite a few words I didn’t know came up, so it was good study.
I looked up the words I didn’t know and added them to my flashcards, and because there are pictures, they were easy to remember!
“Prickly vine” in particular comes up over and over, so I don’t think I’ll forget it now. Lol.
If you’d like to enjoy a laid-back witch’s life in a pixel-art world, I recommend this game.
Bonus
Thanks to this game, I’m hooked on pixel art ♪
