Berrywitched! is a lovely twisted game where you, our protagonist, are lost within a forest that is supposedly cursed. You pass out, only to be awoken by a cute girl claiming to be a Strawberry Witch. This is a remake of my very first game project, but now with a horror rpg twist! It is recommended you play this version instead of the 2022 version.

click to revealFun fact: Strawberry was based off of both Strawberry Shortcake and Sayori from DDLC! and, actually, the player, Leaf, hangs themself, like Sayori does! https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzI3NTAwMzc1LnBuZw==/original/7HWCZQ.png

I'm a bit sad that I couldn't get the 5th and 6th endings because I think they would have explained more about Buttons and Memorial's (whose voice was amazing by the way, he plays the cartoon villain so well) end game, but glad I reached the good ending anyway! I enjoyed this a lot, it was very bittersweet and I could unfortunately relate to them but in the end they really needed to find each other. Something I really liked was the protagonist not being a cinnamon roll, made her more realistic because god knows how bitter you can become when those kinds of thoughts are swarming your head. Also that hug was adorable. Anyway, great game overall! Thanks for this!

uhh... idk if there's supposed to be black lines covering the screen

I love all of the berrywitched games AGH They're all so gooooodddd!! Keep making more (I need more of Strawberry she's so cute)

Thank you!!!

are you ok......?

All hail Michael Kovach....

This game really hit me with nostalgia from the first version! I love the RPG style. Thank you for a great game :D I love Berrywitched :>

(+3)

I am the only one who thinks the main protagonist kinda of looks like six from little nightmares??

(+1)

Six was definitely an inspiration! I'm a sucker for a cool cloak!

(+1)

Wait I wanna know more about buttons and the other guy!! I thought there would be details in the good ending

those better be exactly 499 graves

They are... We did a lot of counting during playtesting, haha!

dang i didn't know i had the same MP as a literal witch

(1 edit)

god i didn't know i was so incredibly evil that i would pick these options accidentally

Love the game!♡ Its really interesting & creative, I also love the story♡

I'm surprised by the remake. The graphics and the game system are much better than the old one, The story is a little more creative, the art style, I don't need to say anything, it's a work of art.

(+1)

Very nice! I hope there's a sequel. Would love to see Strawberry, with or without MC, find a way out of the pocket dimension and get back home. Hero's journey kind of thing.

Oh, I am sobbing like a baby at the good ending. Very clever, endearing, haunting, and sweet when it needs to be. Thanks for making this.

For those like me who have specifical animal cruelty triggers (mine is about cats) - I believe the only instance of that is with a bunny, for one shot, if you specifically choose to hurt it.

Edit - Oh, when I saw what the key led to, I was like "500th customer?? D: D: D:" but now I'm like "500th customer... T_T T_T T_T"

can anyone help me?when Strawberry gives us little buddy(strawbunny) i saved many times to see what would happen is i did bith options and when i did eat it my game screan said error,bug for apart of the game?can some one please contact the dev for me....ty

I love this game so much! thank you for making it and I love the berrywitch universe in all her beauty (dying for more mama inquiry though!!). stay safe and healthy!!

Hello I've been looking at Cherrywitched and this game and I really like the art for the 2 games. So I wanted to know if you'd be interested in creating sprites for my game. It's a psychological horror game. Please let me know once you have free time. 

(+1)

Really loved this! Got all 7 endings, true end is my favorite of course. 

I don't really understand who Memorial and Buttons are though, even after playing through everything.

I'm pretty sure there's a sequel being made so maybe they'll get explained there or something.

(+1)

absolute lovely gem! I can taste the sweet-softness flavor of a cupcake with sour strawberry filling/topping through the game and art style, ate em all up... The ends, bunnies and bushes didn't disappoint me! Characters managed to take up all my sympathy, intrigue, interest points with Strawberry deserving her much love and happiness in the happy end (also maybe a long break from the forest haha, go out to a beach sometime!) as the cherry on top ^^

(+3)

why is no one f***ing talking about how michael kovach himself voiced memorial!?I CANT F***ING ESCAPE HIM,HELP ME!!!

(+1)

Just left a review, hope it helps. I love this game, as heart wrenching as it is. I'm going to enjoy the rest of your games, I suspect. Thank you for sharing your work.

(+1)

my friend loves this series. both me and him are looking forward to the next installment. maybe a Berrywitched 2? if so, maybe Cherry Pie can make a comeback as one of the main antagonists alongside Memorial!

i LOVED this game! keep up the good work! and the fact you got Michael Kovach to voice Memorial is insane! 20/10 would play again!

(+3)

I think she was most likely mislead about the purpose of her stay there. She was probably meant to be a guide for people who already committed suicide in that forest and to make their last moments somewhat pleasant. They didn't have the heart to tell her that directly so Strawberry had to suffer immense consequences for it. Wonderful game btw. I really like how the good ending recontextualizes her entire behavior after all the sad endings

I found your games through Youtube and just finished playing your game here. since the game does have a implication of a continuation in the future I look forward to seeing it. If you ever need a extra person to bounce ideas off of I write in my spare time and wouldn't mind hearing ideas.

this game is incredible! the art inspires me so much, and the story really made me think. i don't often feel like replaying games for a different ending, but the story in this was so interesting to me that i just had to. the good ending is just the right amount of hard to get, and it feels so rewarding when you get it. please keep making games, you're amazing at it!

i liked it, less horror and more just sad but quite. there art and voice acting was fantastic, and the ENDINGS were well thought out. but one complaint I have is memorial and buttons. I like there designs and voices but what purpose do they server in the story? other than that five start. great game. (btw play cherrywithced)

The strawberry voice acting is so cute as well as the strawbunnies in which I would like to play with the character sprites. I have been watching the gameplay and I decided to do it as well like I got all the five pages to get the good ending and I think I took too long because I was backtracking around Strawberry's room and cafe just to get one more paper and I didn't realize it was on the ground near the well where strawberry is.  I understand that most people wanted to get all the endings but for me, I wanted to run the visual novel. 
Also please check out my video I posted! (those of you who were reading this)

Oh, how adorable Strawberry and Strawbanny are!
But it was quite thrilling and interesting to see how the story could take a crazy turn with just a few wrong choices or actions.
And the Good End that was reached at the end of that madness was soooo good!

I'm not an English speaker, so I played the game while translating, but I could still feel Strawberry's suspicious behavior and the kindness in it.
And Strawberry's fashion design is so lovely!

Spoiler Warning!

Comments and Review: I loved playing this game. It was cute, simple, and filled with plot twists I would have never seen coming. The overall story left me with a few questions and that may be because I haven't played Cherrywitched. However, I am curious who Buttons and Memorial are. Were they the ones who sent Strawberry there? Why do they want her dead? Are they working alone or are there bigger factors coming into play?  So far, I have concluded that Strawberry's sister is Cherry Pie and their mother is Inquiry. Strawberry was friends and/or peers with the Raspberry Witch (Unnamed) and the Blueberry Witch (Unnamed). Strawberry also works for Memorial, since she said Buttons' was the boss' assistant. Please correct me if I am wrong. I love lore.  Overall, the game itself is very well thought out. I can tell how much detail and emotions were put into it. My only comment/suggestion is similar to what a few others commented about, how the rope somehow returns after giving it to strawberry in the graveyard scene. If you fix it, that would be a great eighth ending.

My overall rating is 5 out of 5 stars because of how well this game performs. It was simple, fun, and easily caught my attention. I hope to be able to play the next one when it comes out. Keep up the good work, both you, the creator, and the crew.

Ending list woulda been helpful a week ago

for lore wise i'm pretty sure inguiry isn't actually their mom she just adopted strawberry after the chaos of cherrywitched

Ah! Thank you!

Wonderful! We're glad we took the time to play through the remake, even with the story updates aside. We enjoyed the diary illustrations a lot, and even ended up getting drawn in by a number of cute little details (in particular, the way the sprites lean when they run and Memorial having "?!" as a placeholder name instead of "???" got us good). We also went back to check out all of the cupcake dialogue combinations since we absolutely love that stuff, and funnily enough managed to get Inquiry's by complete accident on our first go. The inescapable allure of purple icing...

One thing we figured we'd mention, however, is that we managed to get the gate ending after giving up the rope to Strawberry. We got the Gate Key beforehand and wondered if we'd get a different scene upon checking out what was behind the bakery, only to be caught off-guard by the rope making a triumphant return. Just a minor thing.

BUT YES once again... wonderful game, as ever.

nice

Took me 4 tries to get a good ending🧡

Just tried your game on a whim and loved it! Please continue making games, I enjoyed this one immensely.

(+2)

is there any backstory on Memorial and Buttons? im curious with what they have to do with Strawberry

I am so happy to revisit this game after all this time! I think the translation from visual novel to RPG was super well done and super fun! I love Strawberry and the good ending, but the horror aspects of this game were SOOOO fun too!! The spineless ending really got me lol. I had such a fun time playing through all the endings and thinking about all the memories i had playing the 2022 version. Also, all the voice acting came out SOOO good!! If you ever need spare voice actors, I'd love to work with you sometime! :] Otherwise the game is super well done, very engaging, and overall, just a really fun play. It's amazing to see how far you have come in your games since i first discovered you and I can't wait to see what else you do in the future! Keep up the great work!

Also little strawbunny is so cute... I shall love him forever :]
