Dangen Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it will release Fummy's The Witch's House MV (Majo no Ie MV) game on PC via Steam on October 31. The game is a remaster of Fummy's original Witch's House game using RPG Maker MV.
Dangen Entertainment describes the game:
The Witch's House, originally released in 2012, falls within the tradition of Japanese horror RPGs with heavy emphasis on puzzle-solving and jump scares. Among other entries in the genre such as Ib and Ao Oni, The Witch's House surprised fans with pixel-art that conceals truly frightening horror.The Witch's House is deliberately designed with traps at almost every turn--sudden death is unpredictable and it keeps players on their toes. Anything can happen at any time.
With completely remastered visuals, The Witch's House MV will feel fresh to even the most familiar old-school fans. Fans will also be greeted by a new difficulty mode that includes new events upon completion of the base game.
The original free game launched for PC in October 2012. Fummy wrote a prequel novel titled Majo no Ie - Ellen no Nikki (The Witch's House - The Diary of Ellen) with illustrations by Oguchi in October 2013. The game's website links to an English translation for both the game and the novel.
Yuna Kagesaki (Chibi Vampire, AiON) launched a manga adaptation of the prequel novel in Monthly Dragon Age magazine in June 2017, and ended it on February 9. Kadokawa published the manga's second and final compiled book volume on May 9. Yen Press began simultaneously publishing the manga digitally in August 2017.
