Burden the Witch (NaNoRenO 2021)

"Beware the Witch of Isaphan Woods."

Long ago, perhaps much earlier than a certain story by the same author, rumors of a witch had spread in the village of Bergman. They say that she's a dangerous woman, one whose bright green eyes speak of deadly poison. As the villagers would tell you, this witch will curse all who dare enter her forest, causing grief and anguish to those unfortunate enough to meet her.

Still, it must be a lonely existence, being the Witch of Isaphan Woods.

(This game takes place before  Mark of Lost Royalty and Vestr's Story,  some of my older VNs. They're not related plot-wise, but please enjoy them too.)

Characters

Keres: The main character and the so-called "witch."  Hostile and a bit callous towards humans, but not without reason.

Svel: The First Prince of Mesec. Arrogant and proud, and perhaps too raucous for his own good.

Reine: A villager from Bergman, and its only apothecary. She's a bit shy, but always eager to learn new techniques.

Adrastos: The King of Cepher, and the witch's younger brother. It feels like he's supposed to belong in a different game...
