Our take on The Button Witch
Environmental magic defines the experience: spells are used as puzzle tools, with different effects on objects and parts of the setting. Progress adds more spells, making the witch’s abilities part of both the investigation and the game’s puzzle structure.
What is The Button Witch?
Play as Ellen, a witch-in-training completing an academy internship while investigating what happened at her supervisor’s manor.
The adventure uses puzzles including escape-room scenarios, riddles, and item combinations. Spells interact with the environment: one can move metal objects, while another lights small fires or activates lights. Additional magic becomes available as the story progresses. A cast of original characters accompanies a mystery-driven plot with secrets and multiple endings. The game uses a retro, cartoon-inspired presentation and includes a talking ghost squirrel. Its structure draws from classic point-and-click adventures, with exploration, environmental interaction, and story progression built around solving problems.
