From the safety of the city, inquisitors are dispatched aboard trains on dangerous expeditions across the frontier to hunt heretics and eliminate magical beasts threatening the empire. Every successful mission helps maintain the flow of prisoners, but each decision carries consequences that ripple back through the city.

Managing the settlement requires carefully balancing resources, preventing rebellion, and containing the ever-growing influence of madness. Supplies must be produced, prisoners sacrificed when necessary, and difficult choices made to keep the city functioning as pressure mounts from every direction.

As inquisitors gain experience, they can be developed into specialized roles with new skills that better suit different challenges. Between runs, players earn Blood Points by completing shipment quotas and making grim sacrifices, unlocking permanent upgrades and new abilities that strengthen future attempts. Every playthrough also introduces different powers and strategic options, encouraging players to adapt their approach as they battle increasingly dangerous enemies and confront the horrors lurking beyond the city walls.

Developed by solo dev Heckmouse and published by Mystic Forge, DOG WITCH is a fast-paced, turn-based, dice-powered roguelike deckbuilder coming to Steam later this year. It blends quick, endlessly replayable runs with a healthy dose of strategic depth, cursed artifacts, and ridiculous enemies in a world that feels like Adventure Time had a magical accident with a D20.

The Setup? A Dog. A Witch. A Magical Mess.

In the bizarre world of DOG WITCH, a Mad Wizard accidentally bathes his loyal pup in arcane potions—next thing you know, the dog is upright, hat on, and hurling magic dice at everything in sight. It’s weird. It’s wild. It’s everything you didn’t know you needed in a roguelike.

Each run throws you into bite-sized battles where you’ll use dice rolls to activate spells, trigger relic effects, and unleash ridiculous synergies. With over 150 magical items (plus “corrupted” versions for extra risk and reward), there’s a seemingly endless number of combinations to discover. Whether you prefer planning out calculated strategies or rolling with the chaos, DOG WITCH rewards creativity, bold plays, and a love for experimentation.

What to Expect in DOG WITCH:

• Dice-Powered Combat – Your dice rolls matter. Every throw determines your attacks, powers your spells, and can either make or break your strategy.

• Endless Replayability – Quick runs, randomized upgrades, and millions of synergies mean no two playthroughs feel the same.

• 150+ Items & Artifacts – Mix dog-themed spells, relics, and cursed gear to build the ultimate chaos engine.

• Hilariously Weird Enemies – Battle Cat Ladies with a vengeance, armed Russian Dolls, creepy vending machines, and other off-the-wall foes.

• Summon Your Squad – Call in laser ponies, gun-wielding rats, and skeleton bros to fight alongside you. Yes, really.

• Multiple Playstyles – Unlock different Witch Hats, each with unique modifiers that shift how you play—and how you survive.

• Customize Your Pup – Pick your fur, chonk level, bark, and more. Create your own pet or design something truly cursed.

Whether you’re a fan of Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, or just love a good magical dog pun, DOG WITCH is shaping up to be the next cult favorite in the roguelike scene. It’s accessible, replayable, and just the right amount of unhinged.

DOG WITCH is launching this summer on PC via Steam, with a wishlist page already live. If you’re into strategic chaos, magical mutts, or games that don’t take themselves too seriously—go give it some love.
