"Coven of the Chicken Foot has a lot of things going for it already, in my book. It stars a hero rarely seen in video games, an elderly woman, and it has gorgeous storybook-style art in a lush fantasy setting. It's a single-player puzzle platformer, it relies on wordless storytelling and the woman, a witch named Gertie, travels with a creepy-cute companion. Plus, Gertie has chicken feet. I love her little chicken feet."
"Gertie is on a quest to prove herself to the local coven by standing up to the self-appointed, prideful heroes of the land. She doesn't have a sword or a dodgeroll, and instead has to figure out how to work with her strange friend to survive. Her companion develops unique behaviors based on individual play styles, shaping how Gertie gets around."
Coven of the Chicken Foot is a single-player puzzle-platformer that features an elderly witch protagonist named Gertie and a creepy-cute, behavior-adapting companion. The game uses wordless storytelling and storybook-style art across caves, forests and temples. Gertie's goal is to prove herself to a local coven by confronting prideful, self-appointed heroes without traditional combat abilities, using cooperation with her companion to navigate challenges. Wildflower Interactive is an independent studio founded by Bruce Straley, who left Naughty Dog in 2017 after nearly twenty years. The game is available to wishlist on Steam, with no firm release date announced.
