      Actually, the evil priest is still out there.
      He's probably the BBEG and it's up to the witch to send him to the Old Scratch.

    The endless identical Englishmen sound so tired...I know the plot isn't intended to be any deeper than spray-on cooking oil, but it's mildly distressing that our undead witch's snacks are the most sympathetic characters here. The priest ate their children, the aristocracy ate their wives, they all have plague and a persistent statue problem, never mind keeping the giant hedges in order. Feel sorry for the poor bastards.

    4 hours in and loving the pacing and atmosphere of the game!
    Some of the most satisfying, crunchiest combat I've experienced in a game like this!
    Honestly wish more shooters had this level of response mechanics in terms of how weapons affect your enemies.
    The headshots alone could rival the ones from Resident Evil 4/5, and those are some of my personal favorites in gaming!
    I think those games have some influence here, too, especially how one of the best ways to get enemies to stop blocking headshots is by taking aim at their knees.

    A woman who, after getting burnt at the stake for being a witch, is resurrected as a zombie with a propensity for magic, weapons that are seemingly from all over time itself, and a craving for human flesh. Something also tells me that whatever good she had in her soul was bled out and only the bad was left. There is no mercy left to give; only vengeance and death.
    All of this sounds like a weird B-movie or a really good horror movie that was molded into an FPS...I'm in! Also, noticed the MP40 at the end montage. Seems in addition to weird demon magic, we're dealing with time travel, though the double-barreled boomstick in puritan times should've been a dead giveaway...

    This is a great shooter. Not a typical hero, with atypical features, although okay in some RPG you can play as a witch, but this is a shooter. In some way the witch is an antihero. But The gameplay features are pleasing, there is close combat, shooting, various abilities that are a bit reminiscent of Bioshock, opponents die spectacularly depending on the kill.The only thing missing is some kind of narrative, not just notes, a bit more variety of opponents. Although later on holy knights appear. And also some interesting finding of weapons. Here is a book that was simply found somewhere on the floor. But these are not significant personal quibbles. The game was released only in early access, by the release a lot can change, expand, it will only get better. Such shooters with abilities adding and features are very much lacking in the gaming industry. In a large industry, the same old call of horror and cooperative shooters - this is boringly monotonous and uninteresting.
    Hope for indie and boomer shooters, thanks to the developers for this.
