Overview
In the game your world is one where magic is dying out and you’ve been branded a witch. You must outsmart the superstitious armies of the Arch Duchess as they hunt you through lush forests, deep caverns, and over frozen mountaintops. Find and free your fellow villagers from captivity, then lead them to safety to reclaim your home.
Wildfire takes this premise further, like Assassin's Creed and Dishonored by simulating the different elements of fire/heat, water/drowning and earth/crushing damage. This means you can tackle each level in different ways. On completion you are award points on how you did, with special rewards for not being seen at all and not killing any enemies.
