About A Bewitching Revolution
A Bewitching Revolution is a first‑person adventure that follows a communist witch navigating a cyberpunk city. Players wield magic to help residents create unions, gardens, and other collective structures, confronting capitalist forces through spells and direct action.
The experience is intended for a single sitting of about one hour, runs on Windows, and supports family sharing. Its narrative draws on Silvia Federici’s ideas and presents an optimistic vision of transforming a bleak present into a revolutionary future.

- Notice which card combinations point toward community projects.

Environmental Restoration
Players can repopulate the city with trees, plants, and helpful animals. This magical greening reshapes streets, plazas, and abandoned spaces into livable habitats.
The added flora and fauna are presented as a direct consequence of the witch’s spells, reinforcing the game’s focus on collective well‑being through ecological change.
- Observe which species appear after planting, as they may affect later scenes.
