Evaluation

Garden of Witches launched to version 1.0 on August 28, 2026, graduating from Early Access with the complete story (Epilogues 2 and 3), a full combat system overhaul, keyboard and mouse support, Steam Achievements, and Japanese voice acting. Team Tapas has been actively communicating post-launch plans. In the September 4, 2026 patch notes post (1.0.3), the developer laid out a concrete near-term roadmap: Update 1.1.0, targeting mid-to-late September 2026, will add an outfit system, a new "Fearless Mode" challenge, and a "Boss Rush Mode." A second update targeting October 30, 2026 will add "Rule Breaking Mode," a new challenge type currently in early testing. The developer also mentioned potential small Halloween-themed content and additional Japanese voice recording to cover the Epilogues. These are specific, named features with target dates — not vague aspirations. The developer has also noted that Rule Breaking Mode is still in early experimentation and that schedules may shift depending on development progress and testing results, so the exact timing of these updates is subject to change. Still, the intent and direction are clearly stated by the developer themselves.

About this game

Garden of Witches is a fast-paced action roguelike where you wield giant scissors and use witchcraft to bring down other witches in the Garden. You’ll need to master enemy attack patterns, create powerful builds, and fight to bring together all the witches before the Garden falls apart.

Beat Witches into Submission

As the Thread Witch, you need to gather all the witches for an annual tea party ritual, but they aren’t going to attend the tea party willingly. Face distinct bosses with their own personalities, transformations, and attack patterns. Learn how each one fights, and find the opening you need to beat them into submission.

Unleash Your Choice of Witchcraft

Choose your favorite Scissors, Spells, and Special Skills from your Armory and personalize how you fight to save the Garden. While going through the Garden, you will be able to strengthen the abilities you love with Imprints and Relics and reshape how familiar skills behave from run to run.

Bond with Your Coven

Explore a hand-drawn world of mesmerizing witchcraft and wayward witches, each with their own unique domain. Get to know them through the game’s main five-chapter story arc and continue your journey through a three-part epilogue arc.

Japanese Voice Cast

Defy Death and Return Stronger

A witch’s death does not end their story. Return stronger with permanent upgrades and knowledge of your past runs. Then experiment with other Spells and refine your favorite builds while pushing your mastery of witchcraft. Once you reach the peak, put your craft to the test by customizing the difficulty of the Garden.

Round up the witches. Save the Garden.

And try not to get yourself killed along the way, even witches don’t like dying too much.
