Over the years I've received a few reports of players getting soft-locked on the Winterfall Cavern wisps. This is a confusing bug as I've never been able to replicate it, and it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. That said, it does seem to be a legit issue, so I implemented a shortcut:
Facing the circled tile here will allow you to bypass the wisp puzzles.
That's all! Have a good one!
Knight Bewitched has trading cards!
Hey there!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but as of this morning, Knight Bewitched has community items! These include trading cards, badges, emojis and profile backgrounds!
Anyway, I don't understand how the community item system works, but Knight Bewitched has them now, so enjoy, or something!
In addition, the release date for PC is officially March 13!

8-17-22 Patch
Hello, another small bugfix update was released today:
It should now (hopefully, finally) be impossible to obtain multiple Wands of Fate from Keller
It is no longer possible to forge multiple Schicksalsschlags (even if you have a duplicate Wand of Fate already)
If you have accidently forged 2 Schicksalsschlags, re-entering Ullo's Forge will automatically refund your Arcanite Ores and allow you to forge another weapon
If you encounter any issues, please comment here or email me at Jkweath @ gmail.com as I don't actively monitor discussion boards.

Uno's Shadow Step damage formula was fixed

If you encounter any problems, feel free to comment or email me: jkweath (@) gmail.com.
7-31-22 Achievements fix
Hello,
I've released an update today addressing achievements:
After completing the Sealed Tower, speaking with the nun in Halonia's middle section (where the statue room is) will refresh achievements.
Due to how the Strife fight was set up, you'll get the achievement for defeating him regardless of if you've challenged him or not.
All achievements involving defeating the final boss could not be included in this fix. If you want these achievements, you'll need to defeat the final boss again.
Many apologies for the troubles. If you encounter any issues with this update, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email: Jkweath (@) gmail.com.
The Absinthia Kickstarter's Final Push
Hello everyone!
The Absinthia campaign has made it far thanks to everyone who's played Knight Bewitched and helped its crowdfunding campaign last year. Thanks to your efforts, we're currently at 82% funding as of this writing.
Though the campaign's performed well up to this point, the reality is that we're still 18% short of the base goal (about $3,600 as of this writing). Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform, so if we don't reach the goal, then we don't receive any funds.
If you're interested in making a pledge, here's an overview of the rewards:
Tier 1: Digital Key
Tier 2: Digital Key, OST & Desktop Wallpapers
Tier 3: Bewitched Bundle (digital keys for Knight Bewitched: Enhanced Edition and Celestial Hearts)
Tier 4: Early Access (all above rewards + access to the game 1-2 months in advance)
Tier 5: Leave a Message! (on a poster, grave, book or TV)
Tier 6: Become an NPC!
Tier 7: Design an Enemy!
Tier 8: Design a Boss! (3 slots available)
Tier 9: Become a quest-giver! (design an NPC, quest and quest reward--3 slots left)
As a reminder: If you plan on purchasing Absinthia on launch, please consider making a $15 pledge instead. The project gets more of your money that way (instead of Steam taking a 30% cut), and you'll be helping the project come to life.
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment here or email me: Jkweath (@) gmail.com.
Have a great week and stay safe!

FAQ
Will there be digital keys offered for other platforms (namely the Nintendo Switch)?
I'm working with my publisher to see if I can offer Switch keys, but in all likelihood I won't have a definitive answer until Absinthia is finished. Unfortunately, the answer at this time is "I don't know". My publisher is handling the console porting and publishing, so whether or not I can obtain console keys is entirely up to them.
Are there be any physical rewards?
Nope, not this time! For context, the physical rewards offered with the Knight Bewitched campaign were a total wash (I actually lost money from them, and they were a huge time sink!)
Is Absinthia a sequel?
Absinthia takes place some time after the events and features some characters from my previous game Celestial Hearts. That said, Absinthia's story was written to stand alone, so you don't need to play Knight Bewitched or Celestial Hearts first to enjoy the story.
Is this game SFW?
Yes. The story features sapphic/yuri elements, but there is no nudity/NSFW content.
If you have any further questions, feel free to comment here or on the Kickstarter page itself! Once again, here is a link to the Kickstarter. See you there, and have a great week!
