Abstract
1711 Ireland: A Witch’s Fate is a choice-driven exploration game set after the Islandmagee witch trials, the last recorded witch trial in Ireland. One year after the accusations that condemned eight women, you arrive in Islandmagee to uncover what really happened. Explore real historical locations, gather evidence, and speak to those who lived through the fear, superstition, and hysteria that gripped the community.
Every conversation and discovery shapes what you come to believe. Will you expose a tragedy born of prejudice, or confirm the whispers of witchcraft that still haunt the coast? Through letters, testimonies, and unsettling encounters, A Witch’s Fate lets you piece together the truth or something darker in a world where belief can be as dangerous as any spell.
