Product Information
“Witch and Lily” is a 3D dungeon exploration game with the theme of “romance between girls”. Players form a team of 5 girls from 10 different career classes and explore dungeons to unravel the mystery of the witch who created the world. Although it retains the classic dungeon exploration mode, it also allows people to experience various types of romantic relationships between girls.
The game was crowdfunded in September 2022, which attracted great attention from gamers and exceeded the crowdfunding goal by more than 2100%. It is expected to be released in early 2024.
