- Big Halloween update - 28 October 2024
Exactly one year ago, we released a Halloween-themed game demo. Well, we decided that this tradition is worth keeping, and now we present you with a big autumn update! It includes new quests, unique costumes for the witch, achievements, animated cutscenes, and even an intro. Many of these additions were inspired by player feedback, activities, and even contests. Need we say how grateful the The Witch's Cauldron team is to everyone who has supported us with advice, game purchases, and comments? So spend a little more time with our witch, explore where cooking and revenge can lead, find out what a succubus's love costs, and try to survive with limited ingredients or without hints from the book. The night will be long and dark—better stay close to the warm cauldron! What’s included in the update: New characters with unique quests; Cloud saves; Animated cutscenes; A wardrobe for skins; Witc…
- Preparing for the Halloween update! - 20 October 2024
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since we last checked in, but we’ve got plenty to share. As you may have noticed, for those who achieved 100% completion in Steam, the game is no longer listed as perfect. This happened because we’re preparing a big free update, which will include new quests, skins for the witch, an opening cutscene, cloud saves, and, of course, achievements. It’s expected to be released around Halloween, so you can spend a spooky night in good witch company and unlock those new achievements.

- Devlog 1: Wardrobe - 2 May 2024
Three months have passed since the release of The Witch's Cauldron and we are hard at work on the next expansion. After analyzing your feedback and our own ideas we've decided on the following changes and additions: New costumes, of course. Our recent art competition was a great help in that regard. We've received a lot of original and funny designs and it was hard to pick the best. Anyway, the players will receive a veritable collection of hats and gowns with the update! Adding on to that, the costumes will provide gameplay effects. Their unique features will affect the game balance or even the ability to access plot branches And we're adding a wardrobe! It's bigger on the inside We're not forgetting the technical stuff either, working on cloud saves, Steam Deck optimization and controller support, as well as adding new supported resolutions.

Greetings, Potionmakers! We at Harvey Games are happy to announce an art competition! If you played The Witch's Cauldron you might've already thought "Man, I wish my witch could wear something else beside these purple rags. And how come there is only one hat?!?"

- Big success for a small game - 30 January 2024
Approaching the release What's up everyone, Harvey Games here. The Witch's Cauldron, our very first game, has finally been released. We've been working on it for two years while closely listening to the feedback, watching streams and trying our hardest to make a game which would reward you with if not the most hardcore, then at least not wholly unpleasant experience. The game has been released on Steam and was wish-listed over 7000 times by the release date. A little about the release version of The Witch's Cauldron Unlike the demo and Prologue, this version of the game features every bit of up-to-date content: Full version of King's story branch Bandits story branch Archbishop story branch Auto-brew function which becomes available after learning most of recipes and can be turned on and off in options Arcane Circle story branch which grants the ability to manipulate Fame and Dread usin…

- Get into your Halloween spirit with our cozy witchy game! - 24 October 2023
All Hallows' Eve is upon us. Soon the souls of the dead will haunt the world of the living and evil spirits will roam the streets, creak the floorboards, rattle in the attics and the cellars and skulk in the shadows. The realm is a vile cesspool of sin and corruption and the eldritch forces will grow powerful beyond all imagination. There will be no bribing them off with some licorice. Which means more work for a witch and her cat. Leave trick-or-treating to clueless children and line up for some prime potions, folks! It's gonna be a long night. Don't forget to leave your feedback in the discussions, they help us make the game better! And also join our Discord Channel, where we communicate and maintain a development blog Trick or wishlist!
