A Witch's Husband

A sword-fighting story

A Witch’s Husband is a PC sword-fighting game set in 1500s Scotland. Your wife has been taken as a witch, and you fight duels as you decide what to do. Every fight is a one-on-one exchange built around watching an opponent’s blade and responding to its direction.

Duels and posture

You can strike and block from the left, right, or above. Each block, parry, and blow wears down both fighters’ posture. Break an opponent’s guard, read their stance, then attack the opening. A perfectly timed parry meets a blow as it lands, costs you nothing, and cracks the opponent’s guard.
