The Witches of Takal is 3rd person RougeLike RPG, taking place on the Mountain of Takal. You have been dispatched by the local village to investigate increased Witch activity in the area, which seems tied to the increased amount of bad weather, dying crops and livestock, and Meteors falling from the sky. Upon reaching the base of the mountain, you find the ruins of an entrance to a temple within the mountain, which you of course, enter. The game begins here, with you, in you chosen class of either Paladin, Rouge, Mage, Cleric or Necromancer, descending into the maze of tunnels that riddle the mountain, in search of the Witches. Along the way, you find yourself dealing with the creatures that live in the tunnels, such as cave goblins, giant spiders, imps, wolves, ice giants, ice dragons, and eventually, the Witches. All on one life. Die, and you get sent back all the way to the bottom of the mountain, with all your stuff gone. The witches lie just under the top of the mountain, in a great chamber. by this point, the player, having fought his entire way up the inside of the mountain, may have come across several witch outposts. Each one reveals part of what the witches are doing, and all of them are required to have been visited if you wish for the best ending. It is revealed that the Witches are trying to tear apart the very fabric of reality, in order to summon an Eldritch Horror, while causing the complete disintegration of themselves, the mountain, and all matter within a 30 mile radius. Will you be the one to make it to the very top of the mountain, and put an end to The Witches of Takal?
