Mystic Forge and solo developer Heckmouse have announced DOG WITCH, a turn-based, dice-driven deckbuilding roguelike set to launch on PC via Steam later in 2025. You step into the paws of the Dog Witch, a half-dog, half-witch hero born when a Mad Master Wizard’s potion mishap transforms his loyal pup into a spell-slinging, hat-wearing sorcerer.
Get ready to jump into a whimsical, yet totally chaotic universe in DOG WITCH. You’ll be battling some truly odd enemies here, like grumpy Cat Ladies, Russian Dolls armed with guns, and even suspicious milk vending machines. The game takes inspiration from favorites like Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons, blending deckbuilding with dice rolls.
Every time you roll those dice, it helps you cast spells, kick off cool combos, and activate more than 150 different magical artifacts. The runs are pretty quick, usually lasting about 30 minutes, which keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and encourages you to try out wild new strategies and combos to outsmart your enchanted foes.
Customization is a big deal here, letting you truly make your Dog Witch your own. You can pick its fur, hat, how it barks, and even its “chonk” level. The game’s hand-drawn art style is inspired by the playful absurdity of shows like “Adventure Time”. If you’re curious, there’s a demo planned for Steam Next Fest in June 2025, which will give you about an hour’s taste of the first area.
