This game is a walking simulator/exploration game with light atmospheric horror elements, set in the real "witch city" of Cachiche, Peru. It can take anywhere from 1-3 hours to complete depending on whether you want to thoroughly peer around every corner or not. You play as a photographer visiting a small town in Peru known for its supernatural activity and supposed descent from witches.
This game is absolutely not for everyone. Don't go into it expecting horror scares, an unfolding narrative, or even any explanations. It's a true walking simulator all about atmosphere over story (very minimal), puzzles (none), or goals (your character has a journal in which you write a to-do list as the game progresses, but it doesn't really serve a purpose and there's no reward for completing things). The graphics are trippy in a rough, uncanny valley sort of way. The background soundscape features ambient night noises with eerie overtones.
Gameplay consists of wandering the town and some nearby areas at night, taking pictures of the things you see, and then showing the pictures to the locals and other tourists you encounter to get their reactions and sometimes learn some new information about the witches. You'll encounter unsettling things as you creep around the town; shadows without bodies, half-overheard conversations, locals engaged in strange behaviors, buildings that shift around. Throughout the game you're followed by the sense of being an unwelcome outsider, tolerated only for the tourist dollars you bring with you and only so long as you don't pry too deeply into the town's secrets - and all you're doing right now is prying.
