After several years of development, artist Guillermo Moreno Alfaro is finally ready to show the first gameplay look at Project The Witch – a dark fantasy game full of mystery and challenges.
We’ve seen a swamp environment from there before, and now you can see what else the creator has come up with.
My first associations when I watched the teaser were Hellblade and Tomb Raider. While the former is mostly due to the protagonist’s hair, the movement, especially climbing, was likely inspired by the latter, although I might be wrong.
The video ends on a cliffhanger that heavily implies who the witch is, but we don’t really see any magic from her – just a lot of exploration showing off Alfaro’s excellent environment art skills and a curious creature covered in mushrooms, who seems to be the protagonist’s servant.
I also appreciated the sound design; it really helped with the horror atmosphere. Watch the whole thing here and don’t forget to visit Alfaro’s ArtStation to see more beautiful art made with Unreal Engine, Maya, Houdini, ZBrush, and Substance 3D tools.
