The Witch and the Prince
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Made for YaoiGameJam2024
A witch's son moves into a cabin in the forest after his mother's passing. He grieves in solitude until someone knocks at his door... Is the princely figure standing in his doorstep an enemy? A friend? Or maybe...
*****
Content warning:
- Death, mildly described gore in the bad endings, blood.
- Loneliness and themes of social ostracization
- Grief and sadness
Honestly, it's mostly saccharine sweet and even the violence isn't overly described, but I'd rather warn players just in case.
*****
This game features four endings, with one unique CG each (two bad endings, a friendship ending and a romance ending).
I hope you'll like it.

I sincerely enjoyed all of the endings, bad and good (but the good ones were so sweet. I'm definitely rooting for Oisin and the MC in the romance ending!)
Also, the art in this is gorgeous. You did an excellent job with the character designs. I especially can't get over Oisin's true form. He is very lovely 💖
I commented on the video, but I'll answer you here as well :P Thank you so much for playing my game and for the praise!
As a fellow monster lover, I'm very happy you liked Oisin's design! I wanted him to look a little uncanny but still beautiful. If I ever write a follow up to this story (probably after the Yuri game I'm currently working on and the full version of Private Eye Agency), I'm looking forward to designing all of Oisin's relatives and the courtiers.
And as far as I'm concerned, the romance ending is the canon one. I love these two lonely nerds. :P
💜
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Oisin's relatives and the courtiers whenever you do the follow up! Since I adored Oisin's design so much, I'm sure I'll love theirs too.
(I'm also going to have to check out Private Eye Agency and your submission to the Yuri Game Jam when you submit it!)
Ahh! I'm a sucker for romance, so I'm glad that one is the canon one! These nerds deserve so much love.
Private Eye Agency is just a demo right now and it's sadly not going to be finished for a while because it has so. many. characters. (It's a murder mystery so you need a large cast of suspects, lol). If you play it just... ignore the mini game thing at the end, it's not going to be in the final game. I'm leaving it as is since I made it for a game jam and I'm proud of it even if it's wonky.
The yuri game will be called Blood and Snow and it's a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood :D With werewolves :D
No worries! Take your time on finishing it. I'll definitely still check out the demo (murder mysteries are so much fun!) xD I'm excited to see the differences from the demo and the final version.
Ooh! :3 That sounds like a fantastic retelling. I love werewolves 💜
So sweet! So Sweet! So Sweet!
aw thank you very much <3
love the stories so much... I love this tranquil, peaceful atmosphere, like the sound of breathing on a rainy night. The endings are very cute: both friendship and romantic endings (including the death endings) are so perfect; Oisin is a gentle guy and definitely falls in love with him after playing the game. Thank you very much for only making this game QWQ
I'm so happy you liked it! Thank you so much for playing my game. I hope you'll like the updated version, I'm working on CGs and backgrounds so it'll look nicer in the end. Again, thank you <3
