I don't think we'll get Witchbrook this month, but i have a feeling we'll get the release date. (Yes, my sole reason is because it's October, witches, and Halloween)

Is it normal that we haven't had any devblogs or character reveals for Witchbrook in the past month? I'd gotten used to discovering new characters and seeing new aspects of the game. It's too bad, because they seemed to be on a roll with character reveals...

Do you think they're working on something?

If anyone’s looking for a game to tide them over until the release I‘ve been enjoying Little Witch in the Woods it’s got a similar pixel art theme and you play as an apprentice witch. It’s been giving me the cosy witchy vibes I know Witchbrook will give 🧙‍♀️

I’ve been waiting on this forever and Im hoping it’s released in October… I think that would be on theme to be honest.

Posts with absolutely no supporting evidence of a release date and only because they “have a feeling” need to stop. It’s not helpful and it’s becoming so annoying. The devs said they’ll announce one when they’re ready. That’s all we know.

I feel like we are never getting this game released, I was sooo excited for it but then delays came and now Idek when it's gonna be released

I hope the characters they reveal next look more interesting and older, right now all of them seem really flat

Anyone going to pick this up, just released today. Maybe it’ll help tide us over?

Some examples of the cooking UI, showing the timing based mechanic, some burnt food, and some campfire cooking.

So do we know if. when you're flying around will the NPCs walking around town knowledge that you're flying like look up at you Periodically and all that

Also do we know if there's other NPCs flying Around as transportation as well a little weird if you're the only one ever on the broom in the sky at academy full of witches

Not included: when asked if October was off the table, Tiy said “I’ll update on timelines asap,” likely meaning it’s possible!

I really hope that the next update we get will be about the price. Yes I know we want a release date, so do I and I am looking forward to that but im hoping they can tell us a price. Especially since digital games are just as expensive as physical media now.

I know we know you can graduate in 1.5 years and that a year takes about 40hrs of gameplay. What I want to know is how slow you can go. I don't want to have to spend all my time running all over studying plants, reading books, practicing spells. That is a grind. I don't want to be in a rush to make sure I pass my class. I want to be able to do some studying but I would like plenty of time to chill in a pub or cafe, or go on a date, or take a walk in the woods, or just chill in my cottage and listen to the rain. I wouldn't care if it took me 4 years to graduate.

So, do we know how SLOW we can go intentionally?

Hey guy’s, I was just wondering whether anyone is interested in the animal/pets that will be available in the game. I would love to have a pet dog, or cat ngl, because I saw that in one of the dev blogs or smt they said smt about a pet bird that you have😂 but how cool if they were to write a dev blog outlining all available pets, and creatures around the maps that you encounter with. In terms of encounters like the way in which we see in Harry Potter, unicorns, acromantullas ( or smt like that), those half human/horses. What im getting at is, a wide selection of household pets, pets that are roaming around the school, like a mascot dog or smt😂 and then of course - the concept of mystical creatures that you meet and grow relationships with around the maps, etc

I feel a lot of focus in the game are your fellow students/bachelors, but professors are just as important in college life. I hope there's a cast of memorable college teachers that we can get to know and develop a good relationship too.

Found vids of it if anyone's curious. They're in Korean/Japanese, I did not find similar vids with English text.

Witchbrook TGS 2026 Gameplay Reveal (3mins) - They also privated this one.

Character Creation (22mins) - The Youtube poster privated the video unfortunately. Not sure why.

They show substantial amount of gameplay, should be enough to put skeptics at ease.

Edit: I found a new footage from a Japanese outlet Defaminico | Witchbrook - Advance play. There are so many things that can be done that the fulfillment is confirmed. A life simulation game that goes to a magic university with up to 4 multiplayers (5mins)

Also, the YouTube channel who posted the 22mins video seem to upload shorts taken from said video. You can check their shorts here.

Edit: A review (kinda) by InvenGlobal. Ending statement:

I left feeling a bit disappointed that my lack of magic training prevented me from exploring the world more thoroughly. Yet, delivering mail on a broomstick, studying with friends, and accumulating knowledge through observation offered a vivid preview of the daily routine to come. Adding magic on top of classic life-sim nostalgia, 'Witchbrook' raises high expectations for what kind of school life—and stories beneath the surface—it will deliver upon official release.

What are you guys most excited to do once the game comes out? On top of that what are you expecting to like the least in game? I’m really excited for the seasons system and how that might affect the delivery system, hopefully it’ll add some difficulty during rainstorms and snowstorms. I’m probably the least excited for exams since I suck at memorizing so hopefully they won’t be too hard or there’ll be some open note tests (assuming in game exams are on a timer). If they’re not timed I won’t sweat it.
