Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, Xbox Series X

In a world overturned by evil forces, people hide away behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders. Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and salvage your destiny. Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Challenge deadly bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours.

• • Fall into a dark fantasy world: Get lost in a rich and atmospheric world brought to life by painterly art direction and the epic twisted music of Christos Antoniou. Discover every detail through expansive exploration, tearing down walls and scaling buildings with your grappling hook.
• • A branching tale of lost humanity: Acquire the legendary Witch Lantern and enter the otherworldly plane of Entropy through tears in the fabric of reality. Make devastating choices in a sinister and immersive story by Brian Mitsoda, writer of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
