The reclusive stranger that runs an Airbnb out of their mansion on the edge of Ferngrove. But when it arrives can you forgive them after everything that happened? There is a reckoning coming, you can feel it in the air. Now, you're back in your hometown for your mother's funeral after swearing never to return. Your childhood best friend that disappeared and cut contact with you seven years ago, right when you were both meant to move to the big city and chase your dreams together. Be careful who you trust, even those closest to you are not what they seem. Make allies and enemies, fall in love, hone your magic, and discover your legacy. It will be up to you whether you can withstand the storm brewing on the horizon. Soon, you see that there are things at play here bigger than you could have ever imagined. As you begin to unravel the mystery of your mother's death and the secrets she left behind, you begin to realise she is a woman you didn't know at all. You must travel home for the funeral and contend with a darker conspiracy. That is, until you get a call that changes your life forever. Depending on your choices, you have Skyped with your family and they might have taken trips out to see you in the city, but you have not stepped foot back in your hometown. You left Ferngrove when you graduated from high school and never looked back, becoming a successful journalist at the Echo Gazette in a big city like you always dreamed. Other than weak charms and potions of luck, you don't really know anything about the supernatural world. Your family are witches in a town of humans, and as a result you grew up sheltered and unaware of the magical world, besides the little your parents deemed safe enough for you to know. The game focuses on you, the eldest of a family of witches from the small, idyllic town of Ferngrove where nothing ever happens. It will be ran on ChoiceScript and the demo will be published here on our Tumblr when the first chapter is completed. This means there won't be an option to not romance anyone, I know this might be disappointing but it's the game we want to make. Summary: This is going to be an urban fantasy interactive fiction game targeted primarily at adults and focused on romance. Warnings: Witches of Ferngrove is aimed at 16+ audiences, and will contain graphic depictions of violence and gore, strong language, and potential mature content (We are undecided on this aspect).
