Hedge Knight thrusts you into a race against time to protect the Coven of the Whisperwoods. With three moons until annihilation by the Order of the Righteous Flame, forge bonds, wield witchcraft, and unravel mystical secrets—your choices will decide survival, sacrifice, or betrayal.
Core Narrative & Setting
1. A World on the Edge of Destruction: The idyllic Fey Forest masks a ticking clock. The Order’s crusade looms, armed with zealotry and fire, intent on eradicating the Coven’s ancient magic—and its people.
2. The Coven’s Fragile Balance: Young witches cling to fading power. Some are burdened by guilt; others thirst for vengeance. Without your aid, their crumbling spells and fractured unity doom them all.
3. Your Role as the Hedge Knight: Neither hero nor villain, you’re the wildcard. Will you bolster the Coven’s forces, or let them burn to seize power for yourself? The path is yours to scar.
Gameplay & Exploration
1. Fey Forest’s Hidden Depths: Venture beyond twilight glades into shifting labyrinths. Hunt rare ingredients for potions, decipher ancient runes, or face spectral guardians guarding forbidden knowledge.
2. Romance & Alliances: Court a witch—each with unique magic and dark histories. The Flame Witch’s pyrotechnic loyalty, the Shadow’s clandestine wisdom, or the Thorn’s ruthless pragmatism… choices here shape both bonds and betrayals.
3. Unlock the Coven’s Secrets: Solve puzzles tied to forgotten rituals. Discover why the Order targets them so fiercely—and whether their “heresy” holds truths the Church fears.
Branching Destiny & Consequences
1. Time-Bound Decisions: Every action races against the three-moon countdown. Delaying aid might doom villages; rash moves could trigger early Order attacks. Balance haste and strategy.
2. Moral Ambiguity: “Heroic” choices (e.g., sparing an Order scout) may backfire. Mercy could birth gratitude—or expose weak spots to enemies.
3. Fate’s Final Act: No single ending reigns. Will you unite the Coven to repel the Order, betray them for immortality, or let the forest consume all? Each path reshapes the world—and your soul.
