Get ready to cross dimensions and stir up some cosmic trouble — Quantum Witch is heading to Steam Next Fest, and it’s bringing heart, humor, and multiversal mayhem along for the ride. Created by solo indie dev NikkiJay, this darkly comedic, narrative-rich adventure will be available to demo from June 9–16 ahead of its full launch on June 24.
Quantum Witch puts players in the boots of Ren, a farm girl from the idyllic, isolated village of Hus whose peaceful life is torn apart when she’s dragged into an interdimensional war between ancient gods, reality-warping forces, and secrets that span countless timelines. What begins as a quiet story of small-town life quickly spirals into a sprawling, emotional journey that challenges players to make tough decisions — ones that ripple across the multiverse with serious consequences.
This isn’t just another choice-driven adventure game. Quantum Witch stands out for its raw, personal storytelling. NikkiJay, a queer developer and former member of a high-control cult, channels her lived experiences into the game’s emotional core — using the medium to explore identity, healing, and self-liberation. The result? A deeply human game wrapped in cosmic horror and magical weirdness, where queer joy, dark humor, and empathy shine through every line of dialogue.
Here’s what to expect from the demo:
-
A story-rich world where every choice matters — and can lead to vastly different outcomes
-
Multiple endings, side quests, and consequences that make each playthrough unique
-
A blend of sharp wit and genuine emotion, co-written with BAFTA-nominated Paul Rose and renowned games journalist Stephanie Sterling
-
Authentic LGBTQIA+ storytelling with a fully queer cast of characters
-
Dark, vibrant art direction and a tone that flips between charming and chilling
Whether you’re in it for the dimensional drama, the branching storylines, or the deeply personal themes at its heart, Quantum Witch is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of emotional, offbeat narrative games with real stakes — and real heart.
The full game launches June 24, but you can experience a slice of the magic during Steam Next Fest from June 9–16. Add it to your wishlist, grab the demo, and get ready to rewrite reality.
