Violet Witch Trials [v1.04c] [scarlily]
Gentiana is a quiet woman who has lived mostly in solitude for the last fifteen years, loving her arcane studies most of all. But one day, while experimenting as usual, much of her magical power was suddenly ripped from her! Unable to continue with her work, sheâs tracked down the mysterious force which stole away her strength. Traversing a mystical forest, she finds a great ravine, and a dungeon that stretches unfathomably deep into the earth. Can she reach the very bottom, reclaiming her power and thwarting the being responsible? Or will she eventually succumb to the dungeon, equipped and tailored specifically to capture Witches like her?
Try, Try Again!Explore a dungeon where progression is based upon your skill, tools, and game knowledge. Say goodbye to grinding for levels – getting ahead is all about playing smart and patient.

v1.04c
Pv1.04 is just one change, but it is a significant one: the escape sequence was not properly triggering due to a small but significant error in the restructuring process. It should work now and all should be fine! Being able to escape the submissive simulator version of the event should also be handled.
v1.03
Backend Changes:
Backend Changes:
-Centralized certain local events as common events for efficiency and ease of patching
Bugs Squashed:
-Winning a battle with 0 Stamina or Willpower now causes you to recover one point, allowing you to continue a run following a narrowly clutched encounter
-Added a condition to the end-of-turn Willpower check that makes sure you’re already subject to a restraint attack. If Gentiana is free, she will regain 1 Willpower
-Fixed access to the key and scroll events in the escape sequence
Balance Changes:
-Tuned down Payback to a more reasonable 150% Attack and Magic Attack boost
-Tuned defensive elemental contracts down to a 125% boost, tuned offensive elemental contracts down to a 133% boost (Fire and Shadow Bond are unchanged)
-Added a damage floor of 1 for enemy attacks. Elemental resistances and immunities, such as those provided by counterspells, ignore this damage floor
Content Additions:
-Circle of Sleep event no longer ends in abrupt and confusing way
-Minecart event on MonsterCaveV now includes a harness, for safety and certainly no other reasons whatsoever, I promise 🙂
-Scattered environmental Stamina and Willpower ticks (check the rightmost bridge on MonsterCaveIV for the most obvious example) to press the player’s resources in hopefully fun ways
-Turned some cut content into a new scene on MonsterCaveVIII
Miscellaneous:
-Added some pointy rocks here and there
v1.02
Graphical Errors Resolved:
Graphical Errors Resolved:
-Gags now remain present during the orc event in the escape sequence.
Bugs Squashed:
-‘Through’ state deactivates after failing the tightrope sequence.
-Goblin hole trap now properly ends when you reach 0 Willpower.
-Closing the temporary holding cell now properly transitions to a defeat scene.
-Falling down the pit on MonsterCaveVIII now ends the sequence where it used to continue giving prompts after defeat.
-Fixed an issue with random cursed items which would sometimes result in chests appearing ‘empty’.
-Removed Sealing Chokers for now because they’re kind of a savegame killer at the moment.
-Fixed a few enemies missing chase behavior
Balance Changes:
-Rest during the escape sequence sometimes increases your Energy by 2, sometimes increases it by 1, and rarely doesn’t increase it at all
-Elemental contracts buffed from 25% to 50%. Payback buffed from 50% to 75%.
-Special cell events in the escape sequence (hidden key, mysterious scroll) have better odds (25% each, 50% overall vs. former 10% chance each, 20% overall).
-Z and X presses have been removed from resist/escape events, and an extra second has been added to the timer on all events, standardizing most event timers to 4 or 5 seconds (or about two directional button presses per second).
-Adjusted enemy movement behavior
v1.01

Think Like An AdventurerRush ahead without careful consideration, and danger will soon follow! Consider your surroundings and move wisely. Not every engagement is necessary, and some paths are only more dangerous to tread!
Gentiana doesn’t simply forget she can use magic outside of battles. Use your elemental spells in the field to shape the earth, freeze water, jolt machines to life, reignite engines, and more! Not all of your problems can be solved with magic, but sometimes it is vital to your progression.
Losing is Fun!Gentiana is a powerful mage, who has no MP to track. But in the dungeon, youâll have to think about her Stamina and her Willpower. If her Stamina runs out, a ward on her soul will activate – sheâll be forced back to her Sanctuary without her items, downgraded but immediately ready for another run!
But if her Willpower is exhausted, none of Gentianaâs magic will work, including her ward – giving her enemies a chance to capture her. Enduring and escaping captivity is difficult, but will allow you to keep your items for your next run!
The Spice of LifeContent caters to a variety of tastes, and mechanics offer depth for a variety of styles of play. Play an elemental specialist empowering one type of magic, or a strategist opportunistically targeting enemy weaknesses. Play a defensive mage, negating all incoming spells with wit and foresight, or play a daredevil wielding dangerous dueling spells at point-blank range. Every item serves a purpose and niche, even cursed ones.
* The currently available version of Violet Witch Trials is the demo. The scope of the demo is just one of its five planned areas, consisting of about ten maps, with four enemies (each with their own restraint attack), a boss fight, and an escape sequence. If you enjoy the demo, please support me as I work through the year toward a full release!
