The wait is almost over!
After six years of work, DOG WITCH will release on November 5th!
This story begins in late 2019 when Heckmouse set out to capture the feeling of mastering a deep, punishing game like Magic: The Gathering and distill it into something fast, strange, and fun.
Early on, the game had exactly one tester: his mom’s retired husband, a chess and bridge player with no gaming background. His pure, unfiltered reactions shaped much of what DOG WITCH became.
From those early experiments, the game grew through countless hours of testing, refining, and listening to feedback. Over time, it became something bigger, stranger, and more heartfelt than we imagined. It is not a game that comes out of nowhere. It is the product of dedication, chaos, and care.
Through every step of this journey, our community has been part of the story. Since 2019 you have tested, shared ideas, cheered us on, and stayed with us through every strange twist. Thank you for making this possible.
DOG WITCH is not something you can sum up in a sentence. It is a deckbuilder, a strange adventure, and a game about chaos, bones, and unlikely victories.
If you want to help us bring DOG WITCH to as many people as possible, the best thing you can do right now is wishlist DOG WITCH on Steam.
That small click is a huge part of making this game a reality for more players. It’s how our community continues to shape this journey. And if you can, tell your friends, tell your family, tell your pets too - we know they can't wishlist but it'll still count.
Go out there and spread the word: November 5th - DOG WITCH is coming.
