Evaluation

DOG WITCH launched on November 5, 2025, following six years of development. Since launch, the developer Heckmouse has shown a strong commitment to post-launch support through a steady stream of updates. Before the first major content drop, the developer published a post-launch roadmap on October 31, 2025, outlining plans for multiple major updates through early 2026. The first major free content update — the Werewolf Update — was originally planned for December 2025, but was delayed twice (first to January, then to early March) due to the scope of the new mechanics and a period of team illness. It ultimately shipped on March 3, 2026, introducing a new hat mechanic that fundamentally changes run dynamics. The second major free content update — the Vampire Update — launched on May 4, 2026, adding true deckbuilding mechanics and vampiric abilities. Both updates were accompanied by developer interviews discussing the design philosophy behind each addition. Between major updates, the developer also shipped several feature patches and bug fix patches in the weeks following launch, demonstrating active engagement with the game. The two major updates (March 3, 2026 and May 4, 2026) establish a cadence of roughly one major release every 2–3 months. The most recent major update shipped on May 4, 2026 — only about six weeks before today (June 18, 2026) — placing us well within the established update window. No specific future content has been announced at this time, but the pattern of sustained, frequent major updates strongly suggests development is ongoing.

About this game

DOG WITCH combines the best of dice-driven roguelikes and deckbuilders to deliver a rich strategic experience. With quick runs, you’ll harness diverse item sets, discover new synergies and face a wide variety of wild enemy encounters, each requiring clever thinking to master. If you enjoy the strategic layering of games like Slay The Spire or the dice-rolling unpredictability of Dicey Dungeons, Dog Witch offers a deeply replayable adventure that will keep you discovering new angles run after run.

Each short run is packed with discovery: combine over 150 magical artifacts (and their corrupted counterparts), summon unpredictable allies, and master the whims of enchanted dice. Easy to pick up, hard to master.... Dog Witch rewards clever builds, bold experimentation, and the ability to adapt on the fly.

Battle gun-wielding Russian Dolls, vengeful Cat Ladies, and questionable Vending Machines. Each encounter is a chaotic puzzle, testing your synergy-building skills in unexpected ways.


Need friends? Summon Laser Ponies, gun-toting rats, skeleton sidekicks and more to fight by your side. Pair them with relics and spells to trigger clever chain reactions that tip even the wildest battles in your favor.

Once you think that you have mastered the game, try on different Dog Witch hats, each one introduces their own unique new twists and challenges which require clever new strategies to overcome.

Choose your fur, hat, bark, and even your chonk level. Recreate your own pet or conjure something cursed.

Roll dice and conjure synergy-driven spells in a captivating hypnotic trance, carried by dreamy trip-hop tunes and whimsical visuals. Feel the daily grind dissolve away as Dog Witch frees you from the everyday noise and gets you into the roguelike flow state.
