Our contribution for MV Easter Game Jam 2025

The prompt was 

"A shadow follows you, silent and clear,

yet someday it will disappear."

Sounds like a cozy little horror game, right? Yeah, we thought so, too. In Chroma Witch you play as a witch haunted by shadows. They try to invade your tower but you're not a light witch for nothing. In true magic wielder fashion you say, and I quote: 'I don't care how big the room is, I cast fireball!'

Feel free to use any of the following challenges in any combination. This is optional, however, and you can easily skip them.

Challenge 1: Not a bug but a feature 

We're sure there's a bug somewhere that could pass as a feature. There always ist. ;)

Challenge 2: Sound on / Sound off: The gaming experience heavily depends on whether the sound is on or off

Trust us, if you want to feel creeped out of your skin, turn the sound on. It's stressful on mute. It's worse with sounds. Enjoy!

How to Play

May the light protect you, witch! Ready to face the shadows? Here's what you need to know:

Light and Shadow

Mysterious shadows lurk in the darkness

Each shadow can only be seen in lights of different colors than their own

Keep your eyes peeled and use your magical lights wisely!

Combat

Match the shadow's color with your fireballs to defeat them

Don't let shadows get too close - they'll drain your life force!

Staying Alive

Watch your white aura - it shows how much life you have left

Careful with the flames - even your own magic fire can hurt you

Now go forth and defend yourself!
