The Holyburn Witches for iPhone

Atmospheric survival-horror game

In Moolion’s The Holyburn Witches, players embark on a foreboding forest adventure full of dark turns. With breathtaking panoramic visuals, this survival-horror game has you exploring and foraging a haunted forest to survive. It is still a demo release, so the best approach is to manage your expectations.

Panoramic terror

Cast in the same mold as the Eyes: the horror game, The Holyburn Witches throws you in the heart of a wood where unexplainable things happen. Its core gameplay loop is simple. For four days and four nights, you must survive by collecting firewood and keeping a bonfire.

What adds spice to the loop, though, is its challenging environment. Plus, the impact of the visuals is undeniable. The use of panoramic photographs creates a heavy and unsettling atmosphere. The bone-chilling sound design deserves praise, too. Still, changes are possible since the title is in its early access stage.

Short-form and slow burn

The Holyburn Witches offers a short but intense horror experience unlike any other. The four days of terror are enough to keep you on edge long after you finish the game. With its chilling atmosphere, what you deem a simple firewood gathering can spell your ultimate demise.
