Solo developer NikkiJay’s Quantum Witch launches today. It blends queerness, player choice, and charm into a unique pixel adventure. Quantum Witch’s narrative benefits from contributions by BAFTA-nominated writer Paul Rose and acclaimed journalist Stephanie Sterling. The game invites players into a handcrafted, narrative-driven experience where every decision shapes the unfolding story.
What is Quantum Witch?
Quantum Witch is a narrative-driven pixel adventure that plunges players into the QVerse, a multiverse brimming with curious characters and hidden secrets. You follow Ren, a farm girl from the land of Hus, who finds herself entangled in a multiversal conflict after encountering an old god.
Guided by her wit, her wife Tyra’s unwavering faith, and a touch of magic, Ren must navigate the QVerse and confront the chaos she has unleashed. The game features a cast of unique characters, from robots and fish pilgrims to ‘The Skeleton Who Can See Through Time,’ and yes, you can pet the cat.
