I expected a twist like "there are no witches, you just killed a bunch of people!" and ended up letting everyone go lol

Congrats on the game! You have really good presentaion and art, and a simple but interesting concept.

One thing I would criticize is the lack of feedback.

(After burning an innocent girl) I can understand that the blue fire means I made the right choice but, I keep questioning if I made the right choice letting them go as nothing bad ever happened. If you want to keep the tension throughout the day, giving a count of right/wrong decisions at the end of the day would at help let us know if our approach to the questions/judgement is correct or maybe there’s something we can adjust.

Great idea, great art style but I was confused by the gameplay. The questions didn't really give me any clues if the women are witches or not. In the end I declared almost everyone as not a witch and I didn't see any of them try magic on me. I also didn't see my sanity meter so I had no idea how far can I go with burning.

The art is good and the concept is arguably a bit generic, but it does match the theme well. Though, theres nothing stopping you from declaring everyone not a witch. Good game

This is freaking awesome, bro! The art is absolutely gorgeous, and the core concept is so close to what I had in mind myself. The gameplay is super engaging - honestly, I can't even find anything to criticize. Huge thanks for making such a cool game on the inquisition theme! It hits all the right spots.

Hey I love the pixel art style and the gentle music! I couldn't really tell when I was loosing sanity but other than that a great game!
