🧙 What Is DOG WITCH?
DOG WITCH is a turn-based, dice-powered roguelike deckbuilder with a simple premise: you’re a half-dog, half-witch misfit trying to overthrow your Mad Master Wizard. To do that, you’ll roll magic dice, summon unhinged allies, and stack hundreds of items to build game-breaking combos. Think Dicey Dungeons meets Slay the Spire, with a chaotic, colorful flair all its own.
🎲 Core Features:
- Dice-Driven Mayhem: Every spell and effect is powered by dice rolls, turning combat into a constant gamble with big payoffs.
- Short Runs, Deep Strategies: Dive into fast-paced runs packed with randomized spells, relics, and enemy encounters. No two sessions feel the same.
- 150+ Items (Plus Corrupted Ones): Mix and match your way to madness with a huge pool of gear, from absurd buffs to cursed gear that offers high risk and even higher rewards.
- Totally Weird Enemies: Face off against gun-toting Russian Dolls, vengeful Cat Ladies, vending machines with issues, and more.
- Summon Doggo Sidekicks: Call in help from laser ponies, rats with guns, skeleton friends, and other oddball companions.
- Multiple Playstyles: Change your loadout with unique Dog Witch hats that radically alter how you play.
- Fully Customizable Witch: Pick your fur, bark, hat, and chonk level. Make your own dog, or go full chaos.
- Zen Presentation: Psychedelic visuals, trip-hop beats, and whimsical art create a relaxing but challenging roguelike flow state.
