More About Mandragora: Whispers Of The Witch Tree
Well, no doubt you’ve seen the trailer, and what can we glean from the trailer itself? Well, we can see it’s hand-painted and offers the player a 2.5D world. We have an emphasis on “atmospheric locations, intense combat mechanics, and intricate character progression.” The player will be immersed “in a realm consumed by Entropy, where humanity fights for survival against monstrous creatures and twisted horrors.” The game will blend elements of Soulslike combat and non-linear exploration. So by doing this, they aim to deliver a challenging yet rewarding experience.
As for what the game is about, let’s look at the official description
Mankind has surrendered the world to the monsters. The people of Faelduum hide away behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders. Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and take it back. Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Fight vicious creatures, challenge nightmarish bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours.
