Honowitch is a "Cozy-Vania" being developed by Viento Verse Studios. I've been working as a developer and designer with Viento Verse since January 2024 on Honowith's continued development. I've attached above one of the more recent demos.

Honowitch is a "Cozy"-Vania, a metroidvania more focused on puzzle solving and exploration with a high focus on story elements through JRPG style dialogue.

The story is heavily influenced by Jungian Psychology's exploration of the self and shadow self. Light and darkness, and the acceptance of both, are primary themes of the game and play a prominent role in the mechanics.

Hono STRIKES at enemies with fire based attacks, lighting her path and melting away obstacles at the same time. As she brightens room lighting torches, the environment can change. Will she find the darkness enveloping her world or is there something more sinister going on?
