Witchaven

About This Game

Descend into a dark and gruesome nightmare! You alone must face the evil within the volcanic pit of the Island of Char, toward the mystical lair of Witchaven. Confront witches that have cast a shadow of evil spells shrouding you in the never-ending darkness. Make use of your magic, might, and mind as you engage in bloody warfare with vile demons and monsters. Use medieval weapons to destroy these creatures of the night and cease the chaos. Dare to enter this 3D Hell… Dare to enter Witchaven!

WHAT’S INSIDE THIS RELEASE

You’re getting two builds: patched (Enhanced) and retail (Original) for those of you who prefer an unaltered experience as a bonus. Both builds are running on DOSBox with a custom configuration tool. The Enhanced build features fixes introduced in EGwhaven, a must-have community project, which addresses an array of bugs and issues with the game (we’d like to thank ETTiNGRiNDER for the contribution to this release). Additionally, the controls are re-mapped to what you’d expect to see as a default in a first-person game nowadays.

Reviews

“WITCHAVEN IS A FANTASTIC GAME. IT HAS ALL THE FEATURES THAT MADE DOOM POPULAR (CONTAGIOUSNESS, CRUELTY, DYNAMICS) BUT MUCH MORE THAN THAT.”
